DELRAY, FL, June 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Lion World Travel
is
offering a five-star luxury experience on the "Platinum South
Africa" 11-night itinerary starting from USD
$4,899 per person sharing, including all taxes and fuel surcharges
+ US $100 for domestic flights from 26 major US cities. 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 Condé 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. Price includes all taxes and fuel surcharges,

five-star Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town, two nights'
accommodation at the five-star Lion Sands River Lodge and two
nights' accommodation at the five-star Lion Sands Kruger National
