Why it Rates: This special offer allows travelers to explore a fascinating part of the world at a great value. -Mia Taylor, TravelPulse Senior Writer.


This year Classic Escapes, a family-owned boutique travel company specializing in nature and cultural journeys, is marking an important milestone.

To celebrate 15 years of service, the company is announcing an exclusive 15-Day Best of Southern Africa anniversary itinerary, traveling in style with five-star luxury accommodations to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Kruger National Park in South Africa, the Okavango Delta and Savute in Bostwana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

As a special treat, guests who book by March 15, 2018, will save $1,500 per person on this 15-day, $15,000 itinerary for departures throughout 2018. Pricing includes all internal flights across Africa, superior accommodations, daily breakfast; all meals while on safari and additional meals as specified in the itinerary, local drinks in Botswana, wildlife viewing by 4x4 open vehicles, all park entrance fees and sightseeing as specified and more.

International airfare is not included in pricing but may be booked separately with Classic Escapes for an additional fee.

Highlights of the Best of Southern Africa anniversary itinerary include:

-Heading up the Cape Peninsula to the Cape of Good Hope, where the braying "jackass" penguins roam Boulder Beach

-Wandering through the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, South Africa-a testament to the ecological diversity of Southern Africa

-Enjoying wine tastings and cellar tours at the acclaimed vineyards of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek on the Western Cape

-Searching for lion, hippo, cheetah, leopard, wild dog and more on game drives at Botswana's Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland water system

-Relaxing at the Edwardian-style Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe, which has hosted various royals, dignitaries and celebrities for a century

-Touring the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, renowned for its breeding success of rare endangered species and its conservation ethic

In addition to this Southern Africa special, Classic Escapes will also be offering a "President's Tour" to Pantanal, an immense tropical wetland that is one of Brazil's best-kept secrets!
