South African Lion & Safari Tour

See lion cubs up close on a mini safari during this once-in-a-lifetime trip, and sip on cocktails while gazing at panoramic city views.

About Your Trip

Escape the everyday with a special safari experience in sun-soaked South Africa. Begin at your hotel’s 9th-floor Skye Bar, where you’ll raise a glass and toast your upcoming adventures as you share memorable, panoramic views of Johannesburg with your fellow DreamTrippers. The next day, set off into the wild for an equally unforgettable 1.5-hour tour. Embark on a guided mini safari at Lion & Safari Park, a humane conservation park where you can observe majestic lions in their natural habitat and perhaps see more of Africa’s most beautiful creatures, including sable antelopes, hyenas and cheetahs.

In your leisure time, take advantage of the hotel’s plentiful amenities, or venture out on your own to explore nearby attractions such as Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square. On your final evening, savor a delicious buffet dinner at the hotel as you recap favorite memories of your safari outing with your friends.

What we love:
• Learn about — and potentially see — more than 20 species of African wildlife at Lion & Safari Park, a reserve spanning an impressive 1483 acres (600 hectares).
• Catch sight of lion cubs while they’re young. At full maturity, lions can run as fast as 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour).
• With its towering skyscrapers and premier shopping and entertainment, the affluent Sandton area not only resembles Manhattan, but serves as South Africa’s Wall Street — if you desire, you can hit the stops at one of Africa’s largest retail centers.
