South African Airways Vacations has unveiled its 2015 Collection brochure, introducing a broader range of air-inclusive vacation packages across Southern and East Africa. The updated brochure highlights new offerings designed to appeal to families, groups, and travelers seeking both cultural and wildlife experiences.
The 2015 Collection expands SAA Vacations’ portfolio with a new escorted group tour series to South Africa, including optional extensions to Victoria Falls. The lineup also features family-focused safari programs, East Africa itineraries timed to witness the great migration, and a specially curated route that explores the legacy of Nelson Mandela. These additions provide travelers with more choices for combining iconic natural wonders, wildlife viewing, and meaningful cultural discovery.
“We are excited about our new packages in the 2015 Collection and how they really show the diversity of experiences travelers can have when exploring destinations throughout Africa,” said Terry von Guilleaume, president of SAA Vacations. He noted the expectation of strong growth in South Africa programs and renewed interest in adventurous destinations such as Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Tanzania. With improved accessibility and competitive pricing, the brochure offers an attractive time to visit some of Africa’s most remarkable sights.
Every SAA Vacations itinerary includes round-trip air transportation from North America on South African Airways, the national carrier of South Africa. This air-inclusive approach simplifies planning and ensures seamless connections between transcontinental flights and regional travel components.
The brochure’s new structure makes it easier to compare options by travel style—family safaris, group escorted tours, wildlife-focused East Africa routes, and cultural heritage trips. Optional extensions, such as Victoria Falls and additional safari days, allow travelers to customize their experience based on interests, budget, and time available.
Highlights of the 2015 Collection include:
- Escorted group tours in South Africa with experienced guides and curated activities;
- Family-oriented safaris designed with accommodations and activities suitable for children and multigenerational travel;
- East Africa itineraries that coincide with the great migration season for prime game-viewing opportunities;
- Special itineraries focused on South Africa’s history and the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela;
- Optional extensions to iconic attractions such as Victoria Falls and additional safari reserves.
These packages are intended for travelers seeking immersive experiences without the complexity of separate flight bookings. By combining international air travel with regional arrangements, SAA Vacations aims to deliver cohesive itineraries that balance logistics, comfort, and memorable activities.
Travelers interested in the 2015 Collection can consult the brochure to review detailed day-by-day itineraries, accommodation options, and sample pricing. Each itinerary outlines included services, recommended travel windows for wildlife viewing or cultural events, and suggested extensions for those wishing to deepen their exploration.
