Create Moments exceptional

Allow us to present you with the portfolio of our Africa escorted tours for 2024. These tours are the crowning jewel of our travel collection and we are very proud to show them to you. Whether you would like to explore the African savannah and take selfies with the lions in South Africa or take a trip down the rapids of the Zambezi river between Zambia and Zimbawe, there is a journey for you in this collection. Whether you’re a wide-eyed first-timer or a frequent visitor, Africa cannot fail to get under your skin. The canvas upon

which the continent’s epic story is written is itself astonishing, and reason enough to visit. From the tropical rainforests and glorious tropical coastline of Central Africa to the rippling dunes of the Namib Desert, from the signature savannah of the Serengeti to jagged mountains, green-tinged highlands and deep gash canyons that mark the Great Rift Valley’s continental traverse – wherever you find yourself on this big, beautiful continent, Africa has few peers when it comes to natural beauty.
