Take a walk on the wild side (wildlife, that is) with a dream luxury safari vacation in Africa.
South African Airways is offering an 11-day Cape Town Highlights & Best of the Bush for an unbelievable $4000 per person (June through August), including roundtrip airfare departing from New York or Washington, DC, five-star accommodations, private transfers, and scenic tours.
Spend your first five nights enjoying the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, exploring restaurants and shops from your base at The Commodore Hotel. Then it’s off to Johannesburg for a night of Renaissance-inspired elegance at The Michelangelo Hotel.
You’ll set out on your safari adventure the next morning, traveling to your choice of either the Jackalberry or the Ngala Game Lodge. We’re charmed by the Ngala, with its luxurious thatched cottages nestled in the shade of beautiful Mopane Trees in Kruger National Park. All of their rooms have spacious open patios, en suite baths and showers, and exquisite furnishings.
Rise early to take in the awe-inspiring views. Big game like elephants, lions, giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, hyenas, and even the elusive leopard regularly gather at a nearby waterhole. In the afternoon and evenings, you’ll be driven through the unspoiled African bush for the opportunity to view more wildlife amid breathtaking scenery.
At night, dine by candlelight in the courtyard under the stars, then sneak back to your chalet, pour two glasses of sherry, and lay in front of your glowing fireplace to fend off the chill of the African night. This is an adventure you’ll remember for a lifetime.
