Botswana Winner: A Luxury Safari Vacation For Less

For most, a safari means going out into the bush and staying in a well-appointed tent camp. But that's not the only way to do it. Those who chose the recently renovated, wonderfully situated Mowana Safari Lodge in Botswana get wildlife spottings galore, but also such civilized amenities as guestrooms with private bathroom and TV, a bar in which to watch the sun go down, a golf course and tennis courts, even wifi!

For folks who want this cushier sort of safari experience, long-established Africa specialist 2Afrika is holding a sale, and charging just $1699 per person for six nights at the lodge, two meals a day, all in-country transportation, a full-day excursion to Victoria Fall (in nearby Zimbabwe), all Chobe National Park entrance fees and 10 safari activities. Those can range from game drives to tiger fishing to bird watching expeditions to a safari river cruise.

The folks at 2Afrika can also arrange airfare (at approximately $1540, including taxes). For more information, click on the link above.
