LION WORLD TOURS AND ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES OFFER UNBELIEVABLE PRICE FOR “SAFARI ON SALE” PACKAGE! 

Toronto, ON (January 18, 2011) – Lion World Tours and Ethiopian Airlines are offering an unbelievably priced package to South Africa called “Safari On Sale”, which is priced at just USD $2,499* per person. This package is such good value for money that it is truly unbelievable. In addition to 6 nights in luxury accommodations, transfers, a Winelands tour, flights within South Africa, and most meals, the package also includes round-trip, economy-class international airfare from Washington, D.C. (Dulles) to South Africa on Ethiopian Airlines.

This package offers clients four nights of accommodation at The Commodore Hotel in Cape Town to explore all that this wonderful city has to offer. The Hotel’s location is perfect for exploring the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Most rooms have wonderful views of Table Mountain, Table Bay, Signal Hill and Robben Island. Included in this package is a half-day Winelands Tour. The backdrop of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, the white gabled Cape Dutch homesteads and the oak-lined streets and lanes all blend in to give this place a charm that will not be quickly forgotten. See some of the wine estates that were developed by early settlers who produced the wines sought after by Napoleon, Bismarck and royalty such as Edward VII. Stop for a wine-tasting on an estate, where there will be an opportunity to purchase some of the wines.

After exploring Cape Town, spend two nights on safari at Tinga Private Game Lodge managed by Lion Sands. Tinga Legends exudes the atmosphere of a classic safari lodge. The thatched cathedral-like entrance leads through to the colonial comfort of the lounge, which opens onto the massive wooden deck overlooking the Sabie River. Built around an enormous Jackalberry tree which is reputed to be over 200 years old, the deck affords magnificent views of the Sabie River, and regular sightings of the resident wildlife, including members of the Big Five.

Although similar to Legends, Tinga Narina has a distinctly more African feel. Like the bird it was named after (the Narina trogon), the lodge is unobtrusive, yet undeniably beautiful, blending perfectly with the riverine forest vegetation. The main deck is on stilts overlooking the Sabie River, and the suites are connected by an elevated wooden walkway.

"Safari On Sale", starting at just USD $2,499* per person is a 9 Day trip which includes:

* Round-trip, economy-class international airfare from Washington, DC (Dulles) to Cape Town, South Africa aboard Ethiopian Airlines on brand new 777LRs featuring an award-winning spacious interior design
