WASHINGTON-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - On November 12 and 13, 2009, DC101’s Elliot in the Morning show will broadcast live from a South African safari. And the best part: Elliot is inviting his listeners to fly down to South Africa with him.

The international broadcasts are part of a ten day safari trip together with Mervis Diamond Importers and South African Airways. Four listeners will win their travel complimentary, and others are encouraged to buy their trips at a special reduced group rate.

The trip begins on board one of South African Airways’ daily flights from Dulles and continues with four days of luxury travel through Cape Town, often referred to as the most beautiful city in the world. With spectacular views off the rocky coast and expansive winelands, the region of the Cape of Good Hope is a testament to sensual beauty.

Then it’s off to the bush to discover the true adventure of an African safari. With trained wildlife trackers, the group of adventure seekers will be on the lookout for the South African “Big Five” – lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards and rhinos.

“We’ve never done anything like this before,” says Ronnie Mervis, who dreamed up the promotion. “Can you imagine the logistics of shipping all the broadcasting equipment into the African Bush?”

To win a ticket for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, listeners are invited to create a video explaining why they deserve to go. “We have no rules or restrictions. Send us a WOW video and we’ll send you on a WOW vacation!” says Jonathan Mervis.
