The days of an air-and-land package to Kenya for under $2,000 are long gone, wiped out by the high cost of aviation fuel. But a price of only $2,499 for such a trip, for two departure dates in March of this year, is still a value in these times of high airfares. And that's the price currently offered by our friends at Lion World Tours (www.lionworldtours.com). On its program known as Kenya on Sale, and for $2,499 per person, Lion World will supply you with:

• Round trip international Economy Class airfare from New York (JFK) or Washington, DC (Dulles) to Nairobi, Kenya, aboard Ethiopian Airlines.
• All Fuel Surcharges and Taxes
• 1 night at Serena Mountain Lodge, in the wildlife area
• 2 nights at Sarova Shaba Lodge, in the Shaba Game Reserve
• 1 night at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in the Lake Nakuru National Park Rift Valley Province
• 2 nights at Sarova Mara Game Camp in the African bush, staying in luxurious tent accommodations.
• Game drives as specified in the itinerary
• 6 Breakfasts / 6 Lunches / 6 Dinners
• A Lion World Tours representative meeting you on arrival
• All Transfers

The price of $2,499 per person is valid for the departures of March 29 and March 31, ascending only slightly to $2,699 per person for all other departures in March, April and the first half of May. Inexpensive air add-ons are available from most other U.S. cities.
 
An African safari -- and especially one situated in such interesting and varied locations as this one -- at the prices offered, is a major value. If you have never been on safari, you will never again have the opportunity to do so at rates as moderate as these.
