This luxury safari program offers those with a limited amount of time an immersion in both areas and the convenience of all-inclusive pricing. If you are fortunate enough to have more time available, you might combine this program with a stay in Cape Town and the wine-lands. Given the air connections in Europe, a stay in Paris or Lake Como pre or post are also great options.
