Safari Newsletter Dated January 17, 2020
Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
Today, I'd like to share a few of our best-selling African safaris,
based on bookings made by Vacations To Go customers. I've described each
safari briefly below. Click the links to see itinerary details and a
full list of dates and prices.
Splendors of South Africa & Victoria Falls (Small Group Discovery),
12 days with Globus -- This itinerary begins in Cape Town, where
you'll explore the Bo-Kaap (a neighborhood of colorful homes also known
as the Malay Quarter) and ride a cable car up Table Mountain. Look for
the "Big Five" -- lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants and rhinos -- on
game drives in Makalali Private Game Reserve, and enjoy sundowner drinks
before an evening search for nocturnal wildlife. Visit Johannesburg's
Soweto township and Apartheid Museum, then fly north to take a sunset
cruise of the Zambezi River and spend time at thundering Victoria
Falls.
10 Day Kenya Safari Exploration (Discovery Tour),
10 days with Gate 1 Travel -- Guests visit an elephant orphanage,
feed Rothschild's giraffes and visit the Karen Blixen Museum, former
home of the writer of "Out of Africa." Eight game drives in four
national preserves reveal lions, beisa oryx, buffalo, white rhinos and
flamingos, and a stop at the Kazuri beads workshop shows how artisans
make jewelry out of clay from Mount Kenya. Your accommodations include
The Ark Lodge, which is next to a large salt lick and waterhole that
draws animals; decks overlook the site and a ground-level bunker
provides excellent up-close photo opportunities.
Best of South Africa,
15 days with Trafalgar -- This vacation spends two nights at
Kruger National Park, where you're likely to see the Big Five. Enjoy a
free day in the Drakensberg mountain range, where you can join an
optional four-wheel drive adventure that ascends more than 9,400 feet up
Sani Pass for lunch at Africa's highest pub. Walk on the unspoiled
beaches of Chintsa and beneath the ancient yellowwood trees of
Tsitsikamma National Park. Guests spend a night at the award-winning,
seaside Oyster Box hotel, one of Trafalgar's "Stays With Stories," and
learn about Xhosa culture during a "Be My Guest" experience in
Knysna.
Exploring South Africa, Victoria Falls & Botswana,
14 days with Collette -- After taking in the attractions and
wildlife of beautiful Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula -- with dinner at
the home of a local Cape Town family -- guests travel to South Africa's
winelands for tastings and a meal made of locally sourced ingredients. A
two-night stay at Entabeni Conservancy allows for an early morning game
drive and a chance to follow wildlife tracks with a ranger and tracker.
Spend time at leisure in Johannesburg, then fly to the spectacle of
Victoria Falls. In Chobe National Park you'll join a safari cruise.
Kenya & Tanzania: A Classic Safari (BBC Earth Journey),
13 days with Tauck -- Tauck guests stay in luxury tented camps
and safari lodges on this itinerary. Highlights include the big game of
Amboseli National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, which is home to a dense
population of animals like zebras, wildebeests, gazelles and their
predators; your hotel here is perched at the caldera's rim. Scout the
savannas of the Serengeti for more wildlife, soar over the Masai Mara
during an early morning hot air balloon ride followed by a Champagne
breakfast in the bush and visit an animal orphanage and a chimpanzee
sanctuary.
