Longing to see lions, tigers, and giraffes in their natural habitat without sacrificing comfort? The Tented Safari in Style package from Lion World Travel offers an elegant South African wildlife experience that blends luxury accommodations with immersive safari adventures.
The itinerary begins with four nights at the 5-star Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, situated between Table Mountain National Park and the dramatic Twelve Apostles mountain range. From this base guests enjoy refined service, scenic views, and easy access to Cape Town’s coastal attractions. The journey continues with three nights at Bayethe Lodge, a luxury tented property where safari-style living meets upscale amenities. At Bayethe Lodge guests benefit from private plunge pools, elevated viewing decks, and two daily game drives designed to maximize sightings of the Big Five and other iconic African wildlife.
Beyond game viewing, the program includes a full-day Hermanus Whales and Wine Tour, offering coastal sightseeing and opportunities to observe Southern Right whales (season permitting), plus a visit to a Cheetah Outreach Sanctuary for a close-up look at these remarkable cats. The tour also features a wine tasting at Bouchard Finlayson Winery, showcasing celebrated South African vintages and the region’s winemaking traditions.
Travel logistics are included to streamline the experience: round-trip international economy airfare on South African Airways, domestic flights within South Africa, accommodations, and a scenic helicopter flight along the Atlantic Seaboard. Dining is partly prepaid, with seven breakfasts, four lunches, and four dinners provided, highlighted by a three-course gourmet dinner at the award-winning Azure Restaurant.
Prices start at $3,999 per person based on double occupancy, with departures from New York (JFK) or Washington Dulles International Airport to Johannesburg (JNB). Fares for departures from other cities may vary. This package blends high-end comfort, curated wildlife encounters, and regional cultural experiences for travelers seeking a sophisticated safari without compromising on amenities.
