Some African safaris continue to cost less than $2,000 including air
I've often referred to the African safaris costing less than $2,000 that a Canadian firm called Lion World Travel sold to the American market earlier this year. Amazingly, they've maintained that price for early-September departures of their South African programs -- including round-trip air from New York or Washington, D.C. And they will charge only slightly more than $2,000 on their best-selling program to Kenya departing in November and early December: $2,199 per person, including trans-Atlantic air, on the company's Best of Kenya program taking you on safari in the wildlife-packed (wildebeest, elephants, lions, giraffes, monkeys, cheetahs) Maasai Mara. You can book these programs either at its website www.lionworldtravel.com or by phoning tel. 800/387-2706. I very much doubt that an airfare-included price of under-$2,000 can be maintained in 2008, and these several departures may provide your last chance to enjoy a unique adventure at a moderate cost.Write and read comments about this post.
