At first, people often think of Africa as spectacular wildlife spotted on safari across vast savannahs. While this is quintessential Africa, there is more to this continent than this. Picture vibrant cities, dramatic natural wonders, and rich cultures, all contributing to making Africa the bucket list destination it is. From safari to city in Africa, a tour connects travellers with all these experiences on one seamless holiday.
Begin with the wild
There’s no better start to your African holiday than by starting on safari. Game drives are a unique experience, and part of the thrill comes from not knowing what the day brings. They also invoke a feeling not found anywhere else, with the combination of expertise of local guides and trackers, the stillness of the early morning air, and being immersed in one of the world’s most remarkable places.
Witness one of the world’s greatest natural wonders
Known as ‘The Smoke That Thunders’, the sheer scale and power of Victoria Falls will take your breath away. It stretches over 1 kilometre, showing another side of Africa’s wild nature. Whether you see it from the air on a helicopter ride or up close on one of the scenic walking trails, Victoria Falls is one for the memory books.
Discover Africa’s vibrant cities
For a different side to Africa, you must spend time in its vibrant cities. Places like Cape Town give you a chance to slow down and appreciate the diversity of Africa. Framed by mountains and the ocean, Cape Town is home to an intoxicating mix of world-class cuisine, fun neighbourhoods, nearby wine regions, and rich history.
Experience the human side of Africa
Africa wouldn’t be Africa without their locals, dotted throughout your tour. Your Tour Director and local guides will share conservation and wildlife stories which they’ve learnt through growing up on the ground. It makes for a deeper travel experience when you visit markets and villages to have a local friend by your side, giving insight into traditions and daily life.
