Elite Traveler Spring 2021

AFRICAN WONDERS MULTI-DESTINATION

Those familiar with the Four Seasons’ private jet itineraries will know how fantastic they are, but 2021 will see the first family-friendly adventure on board a new Airbus A321neo-LR. The aircraft has been fully customized; it has the widest and tallest cabin in its class, so it’s a perfect vessel for the whole family to kick back and unwind. Taking off on December 28, 2021, this 13-day itinerary includes Athens, Egypt, the Serengeti, Tanzania, Mauritius, Rwanda, Zambia and Johannesburg. In Egypt, a private guide will take you to the Pyramids to learn about Egyptian deities, hieroglyphics and the legendary child-ruler, King Tutankhamun. In the Serengeti, drift through the sky in a hot-air balloon and gaze at the boundless grasslands below, then toast the New Year in the bush with a torchlit dinner party. Mauritius is a tropical paradise where you can soak up the sun on sugary-soft beaches to the soothing sound of the ocean, or explore the island’s tropical splendor by horseback. Conservation is the name of the game for your stop in Rwanda: Go on a gorilla trek and meet local scientists and veterinarians who care deeply for the endangered primates. In Zambia, you’ll see one of the Seven Natural Wonders of theWorld — the inimitable Victoria Falls. The final stop is the bustling city of Johannesburg — relax in the eucalyptus room at the Westcliff Spa, or extend your journey a little longer and fly onwards to another African destination —we love Cape Town, where you can hike up Lion’s Head at sunrise. Best for Visiting multiple destinations with ease and seeing in the New Year in the bush From $104,500 per adult; $99,500 per child (ages 6-14).
