Where do you start when organising a trip of a lifetime to the continent of Africa? There is enough mystery, exoticism, and extreme variety on this massive continent to fill several vacations. Do not know how to begin? Our variety of exciting itineraries will take you throughout the continent in luxury, from the starry skies of Morocco’s desert to the wildebeest-filled plains of Kenya to the enigmatic riches of ancient Egypt.
South Africa is the perfect destination for many reasons, including:
One of the finest road journeys in the world is South Africa’s Garden Route, which spans 300 kilometres (186 miles). Where else can you see the best of Africa in one trip, including wild, windswept coastline views, world-class wines, and the grapes that created them? This 10-day trip will give you a taste of all South Africa has to offer, beginning with a walk up Table Mountain in Cape Town.
You’ll be hitting the road to Port Elizabeth from here, but not before pausing to sample some of Stellenbosch’s award-winning wines, go on a marine safari, and see the Big Five at Amakhala Game Reserve.
Egypt’s three major tourist attractions—the pyramids, temples, and Nile river cruises
Egypt is incomparable to any other place on Earth due to its rich history, mysterious sites, and potential for time travel. Starting with the pyramids and an up-close encounter with the Sphinx, this 10-day trip covers the country’s most recognisable landmarks. From here, you may take a sleeper train up the Nile to the massive temple complex of Luxor, and then continue on to the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun was buried. The following few evenings will be spent retracing your steps down the Nile aboard a luxurious riverboat, culminating in a visit to the mysterious island temples of Aswan.
In Morocco, you may go on a camel ride in the Sahara, look at the stars in the desert, and wander the narrow streets of the medina.
Morocco, with its old trade centres, Saharan desert setting, and blend of cultural influences, is undoubtedly the most romantic nation in Africa. Starting in the world-famous city of Casablanca, this epic 13-day small-group experience gives you a taste of all this and more. After exploring the kasbah in Tangier, continue on to the turquoise alleyways of Chefchaouen and the mediaeval medina in Fez before spending the night in a Berber tent in the Sahara. In Marrakesh, you’ll finish your travels with a traditional Moroccan meal.
Morocco’s majestic mountains and hippie beach towns are the fifth.
Morocco’s culturally vibrant towns, stunning and varied landscapes, and Atlantic-battered coastline all contribute to the country’s exceptional diversity of attractions. This six-day, small-group excursion incorporates all three aspects, beginning with a lunch on a rooftop overlooking Marrakech’s famous medina and continuing on to a remote Berber community high in the Atlas Mountains.
We’ll be checking into the coastal village of Taghazout on the Atlantic coast from here and taking some time to relax and learn to surf. To round off your day, you’ll take a short stroll into Paradise Valley, home to a bevvy of azure pools and cascading waterfalls.
