1996 Vintage Lufthansa Airlines “Come to Africa” Travel Advert – Safari Tourism Promotional Print

Description:
This striking 1966 vintage Lufthansa magazine advertisement invites travelers to explore the unspoiled landscapes of Africa “before the 20th century beats you to it.” Promoting safari tours and escorted trips across Kenya, Tanzania, Rhodesia, Zambia, and South Africa, this historic print captures the era’s romanticized view of adventure travel and the allure of nature untouched by modern development.

The advert details luxurious itineraries including private plane travel, wildlife encounters in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and visits to iconic sites like Victoria Falls and Mount Kenya Safari Club. It also includes pricing, travel agent details, and a classic cut-out coupon form—a nostalgic feature of mid-90s print advertising.

The bold typography, powerful headline, and vintage black-and-white imagery of African village life under an acacia tree evoke the spirit of early travel marketing. Professionally mounted on black cardboard, this piece measures approximately 25 x 17 cm and is ideal for collectors of vintage travel ads, airline memorabilia, African tourism history, or Lufthansa ephemera.

Note to Buyer: This original print is over two decades old and may show natural signs of age and wear, consistent with vintage paper material. It is perfect for framing or display.
