January 11, 2012 by Wendy | 0 comments

We are already in 2012 and that means if you have children, you might be thinking about your family getaway now. So for this summer why not use Wazzamba’s Travel Shop and take the kids to Disney World Resort Florida.

 

 

 

 

 

With Wazzamba you can save 10% when booking a vacation to Disney World Resort through their premier partner, Tropical Sky. This is a fantastic deal as all the stress and hassle of booking every aspect of the vacation is taken care of by Tropical Sky with their all inclusive packages. Where Disney World Resort prices are £449 ($717) per person with Wazzamba’s 10% discount code, which means you can save £50 ($80) per person. So based on a family of four, that’s an incredible £200 ($320) saving! http://www.destinations.wazzamba.com/tropical-sky/orlando-3-bedroom-villa-with-pool-in-disney-area-%E2%80%93-3/

This is really the ideal family holiday, as Wazzamba’s Travel Shop deal includes the flights, accommodation and car hire. The accommodation is a three bedroom villa with a pool, perfect for cooling off after spending the day enjoying the many rides and attractions at Disney World. Each villa can sleep 6 individuals (3 adults and 3 children sharing), so these spacious villas are perfect for a large family. Also with the inclusive car hire you and your family can easily get around, where the villas are situated around 15 to 20 minutes away from the main Disney World Resort.

Tired of Disney World? Why not experience some other activities whilst in Orlando, Florida. With Wazzamba’s premier partner ISANGO, you can get a 10% discount on over 5000 mild-to-wild activities in 60 countries. For Orlando, my top picks would be definitely going on the Kennedy Space centre tour with the Ultimate Pass Option, by using Wazzamba’s 10% discount this amazing tour costs around £50 ($80) per person. It may seem quite steep but with this tour you get to spend the day trying to moon walk, experience a shuttle-launch simulation and even have lunch with an astronaut! http://www.isango.com/usa-tours/orlando-tours/kennedy-space-center-tour-from-orlando-with-ultimate-pass-option_12802

 

 

 

 

My second top pick from ISANGO’s large selection would be swimming with Manatees in The Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, this is a great activity for all the family where you can get up close and personal with the beautiful and majestic creatures, and as a added bonus they may also come to greet you and roll over to be tickled! This can be done for £60 ($95) if you’re an adult or £50 ($79) for children aged between 3 and 11. http://www.isango.com/usa-tours/orlando-tours/swim-with-the-manatees-florida_6070

 

 

 

 

Here are a few other top things to do in Orlando with ISANGO! (Prices are inclusive of Wazzamba’s 10% discount):

As you can see this vacation idea is a treat for all the family, with Tropicalsky making it easy with its all-inclusive packages and with Wazzamba’s exclusive discounts you can have the perfect family holiday and save money.

Wazzamba: Great Games Lead to Great Discounts

November 23, 2011 by Wendy | 0 comments

Good day Wazzambians!

Hope everyone is enjoying the games and having a great week building up those miles and gem collections. Today we just want to share with you guys and gals which games we have found nearly impossible to stop playing and to also find out which games have you been completely hooked on!

This week we have currently been hooked on playing games that require the reflexes of a cat and huge amounts of persistence. Though, it doesn’t hurt at all that these games are incredibly addictive and fun!

The first game we’re highlighting is ‘Yuri the Space Jumper’. In this game you bounce along from star to star, collecting the astronaut’s fallen items of clothing on the way. But beware, the further you go, the quicker the stars move (you’ll need lighting reflexes)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next game that is frustratingly fun is ‘Off Balance’, where you need to guide your fluffy pal through complex mazes. As you complete mazes they become more and more difficult, though you’ll find yourself restarting lots; the satisfaction of completing a level is unsurpassed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘WordStone’ is a new game, where you’ll need both fast mouse skills and a quick mind. It’s a fast-paced word-matching game where you have to juggle tiles to create words!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So which games have you been thoroughly enjoying on Wazzamba? And what prizes are you looking to swap your hard earned Miles and Gems for? Let us know!

Go to Italy with Wazzamba & Isango!

August 11, 2011 by Wendy | 0 comments

The land of high quality meat, divine bread & of course, lots of gelato, Italy is truly a haven for those for a taste for the finer things in life. At Wazzamba (with a little help from our Travel Shop partners Isango & Hotelopia) we wanted to take you on a whirlwind tour of the many gastronomic opportunities available for the foodie traveler in Italy.

Remember, all offers mentioned here can be made even cheaper by using your Wazzamba Miles to purchase discounts in the Wazzamba Travel Shop!

Florence

This gorgeous Tuscan paradise has an envious cultural heritage and is an epicenter of fashion, art and of course, food!

Florence

Courtesy of our Travel Shop partner Isango, you can brush up on your Florentine cooking skills with this exciting Tuscan cooking course. You’ll be taken through the preparation of a traditional dish by one of the city’s finest chefs. Later, you’ll get to taste your creation, accompanied by some of the finest wines the region has to offer (well, it is Italy after all)

Need a place to stay? Save cash on your hotel stay by using your Wazzamba Miles to purchase a discount on Hotelopia! We recommend the Hotel Donatello, bang in the center of Florence.

Rome

Rome; a city as old as time….or as least as old as the Romans who built it.  The 11th most visited city in the world and a wealth or Roman architecture and beautiful sights, we couldn’t think of a better place to fill our stomachs…

Rome Pizza course

Isango brings you a fantastic opportunity to make your own pizza! No, this isn’t the cheap tomato sauce & cardboard crusts you’ve had before, this is the real deal.  You’ll learn about the true meaning of pizza from one of the most experienced Neapolitan chefs around, understand the importance of choosing the right flour for your pizza dough. After a quick, dazzling display of doughmanship, you get to roll up your sleeves & try it yourself!  After a brief spell in the oven, taste your creation and chat with the chef over lunch!

Need a bed for the night? Try this Hotelopia deal for the Hotel Zone, in the lovely Montemario district.

Venice

A beautiful floating city, packed with fine restaurants, the perfect destination after your gondola ride…

Vineyards

Okay, so you won’t be visiting any Venetian vineyards, as they haven’t started floating yet, but you’ll leave Venice to visit nearby Treviso to reach a 17th century villa surrounded by 40 hectares of beautiful vineyards..

Home of Merlot & Sauvignon Blanc grapes amongst others, the villa contains a cantina, housing massive wine barrels full of these famous wines. Your knowledgeable guides will take your through the fascinating process of wine making  & finally allow you to taste some yourselves!
