DELRAY BEACH, FL, March 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cape Town is widely regarded as one of the world's
ultimate cities to visit, live, eat and play. The
quintessential melting pot of creativity, taste and color, it
vibrates with natural beauty and unexpected experiences. Condé
Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, National
Geographic and CNN have awarded Cape Town with a
surplus of accolades throughout the years, and the New York
Times recently recognized South Africa's "Mother
City" as the #1 place to visit in
2014.
Cape Town's proximity to the Cape Winelands,
Kruger National Park and the Cape of Good
Hope Nature Reserve (as well as the Atlantic and
Indian Oceans) ensures that potential activities are
limited only by the imagination. African Travel, Inc.
offers seven popular safaris that intimately explore the
grandeur of Cape Town from its picturesque landscapes to
its vibrantly diverse cuisine, compelling history, and unrivaled
game viewing. Each unforgettable journey captures the spirit and
authenticity of Africa while discovering the top city on
this year's bucket list.
Embark on a provocative journey through South Africa's turbulent
past "In the Footsteps of
Mandela." As the country's first black President,
Nelson Mandela gained international acclaim for his activism and is
often described as the father of the nation. Learn the
heritage and history of both South Africa and Mandela
during a multitude of guided excursions, a collection of
soulful encounters with the people and places relevant to
his efforts to end apartheid. Conclude the safari with
three days in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve,
tracking the "Big Five" as well as hippo, antelope, zebra and
giraffe.
"The Ultimate Safari"
provides a premiere sojourn throughout South Africa, Zambia,
Namibia and Botswana and includes the most luxurious
accommodations and gold medal service. From the world
heritage treasures of the "Fairest Cape" and Victoria Falls to the
unmatched wildlife viewing in Okavango Delta and Chobe National
Park, this kaleidoscope of adventures delivers the absolute
finest safari experience including five exquisite days in Cape
Town.
Multi-generational travelers delight in the "Wild and Wondrous Family
Adventure," meticulously designed for
both the young and young-at-heart. Giggle at the penguin's
waddling antics on the Cape Peninsula, watch in wonder as whales
perform well-practiced belly-flops at Plettenberg Bay, and get up
close and personal with a plethora of protected
wildlife. World-travelers of all ages enjoy a fascinating
history lesson about Cape Town's early South African settlers, and
the adults salivate during a South Africa wine cellar
tour.
