Platinum South Africa with Lion World Travel

According to Travelzoo, this is an incredible savings of more than US $4,000 per person on packaging components separately.

The journey begins in Cape Town, named one of the New York Times' "52 Places to Go in 2014." Spend five nights in Cape Town exploring its scenic beauty and cultural attractions and enjoy a wine tour and olive oil tasting in Franschhoek. On a four-night safari, experience close wildlife encounters at two different five-star private game lodges and during your stay, enjoy the opportunity to spend a night in the ultimate bush bedroom - a spectacular treehouse where the African landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. The treehouse was even featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler - making this an incomparable "Platinum" South Africa trip.

Location is everything; prepare to enjoy luxurious five-star accommodations both in Cape Town and on safari. In Cape Town, stay at the majestic five-star Table Bay Hotel, set in the heart of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Your stay includes high tea and a dinner at Camissa Brasserie, with days of leisure to explore Cape Town's many places of interest and a Winelands tour.

On safari, spend two nights in superb five-star accommodations at Lion Sands River Lodge followed by two nights in ultimate five-star luxury at Lion Sands Kruger National Park - Tinga or Narina Lodge, including eight game drives. Since this is a Big Five reserve, seeing lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo is likely.

"Platinum South Africa" is on special with prices starting from US $4,899 per person, including roundtrip airfare from 26 major US cities connecting on South African Airways from New York or Washington, D.C.
