Tours to Africa

Explore

Africa offers an incredible array of experiences, each more captivating than the last.

Adventure seekers can track the elusive maneless lions in Kenya's Buffalo Springs Reserve while being enchanted by the vibrant birdlife. In Cape Town, a visit to the Cape of Good Hope reveals the dramatic meeting of two oceans, along with the only penguin colony in Africa. South Africa’s Isandlwana, home to the legendary Zulu War battlefields, immerses you in the history of the iconic conflict. Meanwhile, Morocco’s imperial cities, including Marrakesh, invite you to wander through rich cultural heritage, with highlights like the captivating Jardin Majorelle offering a glimpse into the country's artistic and botanical beauty. 
 

Africa's diverse landscapes and rich history promise a journey that is nothing short of unforgettable.

"The amazing Garden Route which was just splendid. Our guide Jainee was very knowledgeable and very professional. She was organised and there were no hiccups in the organisation of the trip. The Featherbed trip was outstanding and Knysna was also a delight."
