Africa Tours

The amazing continent of Africa offers adventures and experiences like no other. On Africa tours you can sail down the Nile to view the majestic monuments of Ancient Egypt, go game spotting on safari in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana or South Africa, get up close and personal with rare mountain guerrillas in Rwanda or Uganda and be awestruck by the crashing thunder and spectacular beauty of Victoria Falls in Zambia.

In North Africa, take a tour to the exotic countries of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria where you’ll explore ancient souks and casbahs, Roman ruins, beautiful beaches, wild mountains and the desert expanses of the Sahara. For the adventurous, tours to West Africa are a must. Visit the fascinating countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal and Togo for everything from palm-fringed beaches to voodoo fetish markets, colourful cultures, fantastic wildlife and world-famous musical traditions. In Mali, catch a slow boat down the Niger River to the legendary city of Timbuktu and dance to the infectious rhythms of the musicians of Bamako.

There’s a vast range of tours to East Africa, where you can trek the dramatic landscapes of the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya, go on safari in the many national parks where you can see an extraordinary range of wildlife from herds of elephants to lions, zebra, giraffes and rhinos, relax by the shores of beautiful Lake Malawi in Malawi or head to Tanzania for some of Africa’s most exciting destinations: the Serengeti, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and the fabled spice island of Zanzibar.

In Southern Africa, Botswana is a vast wilderness with open savannas teeming with wildlife. Here, you can glide in a dugout canoe through the waterways of the Okavango Delta, passing elephants and hippos along the way. The desert country of Namibia covers wild seascapes, rugged mountains, giant sand dunes, charming cities and more amazing wildlife. In Mozambique you’ll find pristine beaches, idyllic tropical islands, exceptional diving and snorkelling, charming colonial towns, untrammelled wilderness and rich traditional cultures.

South Africa’s national parks are among the greatest in the world and a game drive in Kruger National Park is a must. Enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Cape Town and the nearby wine region, explore the vast vistas of the Kalahari and the Karoo, experience the drama of the snow-capped peaks of the Drakensberg Range, visit Zulu and Xhosa villages, Cape Dutch colonial towns and the beautiful beaches of Maputaland and KwaZulu-Natal.

Then there’s the incredible island of Madagascar, with an amazing range of wildlife, 70 per cent of species being found nowhere else in the world. See lemurs, chameleons, carnivorous pitcher plants and forests of baobab trees.
