Africa Holidays & Escorted Tours

From exciting wildlife adventures to history and culture experiences, seeing is believing on a holiday to Africa. Where are you going?

Home of record-breakers, from the world's largest (hot) desert and the longest river to the world's hottest temperatures, Africa is synonymous with vastness.

Whether you're taking a river cruise along the Nile to uncover the mysteries of the Great Pyramids in Egypt or sampling delicious cuisine like couscous (the national dish!) in Morocco, Africa is full of memorable experiences - all that's missing is you.  

Of course, wildlife and safari holidays are synonymous with Africa. You can spot herds of elephants in Kenya's open plains and ride across the sweeping savannahs of South Africa's Kruger National Park in search of the big five or elephants, giraffes and big cats in Chobe National Park, Botswana. But that's not all this expansive continent has to offer, there are cosmopolitan capitals, world-renowned wineries, bustling market bazaars and heaps of history to uncover too. 

Go ahead, explore our latest holidays to Africa, all of course with award-winning Riviera touches.
