The Canadians Have Again Created An Under-$2K Base Price for Round-Trip Air to South Africa and Six Hotel Nights

For all those travelers who recently cancelled their plans to travel internationally because of high air costs, there's an air-and-land departure to South Africa for only $1,999 per person, valid for departures during the short period from September 13 to 26. Lion World Travel of Toronto (whose clients are heavily from the U.S.) is the tour operator, and can be reached at 800/387-2706 from the U.S. or 800/668-9968 from Canada.

In U.S. dollars, you pay $1,999 per person for: round-trip air on South African Airways between New York or Washington, D.C. and Cape Town, South Africa (via Johannesburg), transfers to your hotel (the President, at Bantry Bay overlooking the sea in Cape Town), four nights with breakfast daily in Cape Town at the excellent President Hotel, then transfers to the airport for a flight to Johannesburg and Pilanesberg National Park for a two-night stay in a luxury lodge, escorted games drives for two days at the park, breakfast daily, dinner daily at the lodge, and return air transportation from Johannesburg to New York or Washington, D.C.

I regard this offer (to which $175 additional needs to be paid for government fees, taxes and fuel surcharge) as special enough to deserve mention in today's blogs.
