Visit Africa

Africa is home to a diverse collection of exciting holiday destinations. From the wildlife safaris of the East to the cultural sights of the West, and from the deserts of the North to the idyllic beaches & big cities of the South, Africa is an unforgettable continent just waiting to be explored.

This vast and varied continent has something to offer everyone. Arguably the most popular holiday destinations are centred around the wildlife rich game reserves of East Africa. Kenya and Tanzania have over 40 game parks including the famous Masai Mara and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks, along with many miles of beautiful coastline dotted with luxury beach resorts. West Africa has a uniquely different culture both rich and colourful including vibrant French-speaking Senegal, and Gambia - a birdwatchers paradise. The sandy deserts and Berber dominated mountains of Morocco in the North offer another, Arabic dominated side of Africa, along with Libya and Tunisia. For a more cosmopolitan side to Africa a visit to one of South Africa’s modern bustling cities is a must. Combined with its great natural beauty and varied sporting and adventure activities it makes the perfect destination for a truly memorable holiday.

I wanted to say how great our guide was. I honestly don't think we could have had a friendlier, more knowledgeable and trustworthy companion for our trip of a lifetime.

All went smoothly and our guide, Jackson, was very good.

July 2011 by Mrs. Nerida Alsop

Thanks for your help in organizing. David filled in the survey before we left and gave it to the driver. All went smoothly and our guide, Jackson, was very good. We got to see all the animals and were able to take loads of photos. Jackson was very knowledgable of the animals and the parks. He was a safe driver and was considerate of us and the animals. We also enjoyed the driving between parks as we got to see more of Kenya and how people lived. All of the accommodation was good and the same standard wherever we went. No shortage of food at meal times. The trip was well paced and just the right length.
