Africa

One of the world’s most sparsely populated countries and one of Africa’s best kept secrets, the Republic of Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, and is also home to the world’s largest inland delta, a large saltpan and unimaginable vastness.

Straddling the equator on the east coast, Kenya boasts wildlife-rich savannah grasslands, pristine beaches and the mighty Mount Kenya. Kenya’s colonial legacy lives on in the great safaris through world-famous wildlife reserves, whilst culture abounds from the Maasai villages to the ‘green city in the sun’, Nairobi.

Hugging the continent’s southern tip with a coastline that stretches over 2,500 kilometres, South Africa’s natural beauty is legendary. From Kruger National Park to Cape Town, Oudtshoorn’s famous Cango Caves to the tribal homes of the Zulus, and two of the world’s spectacular drives, the Garden Route and the Panorama Route.

Perched on the edge of Africa is Tanzania. From the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro to the sun-kissed beaches of Zanzibar, Tanzania is a true land of contrasts. It has a rich tapestry of cultures from safaris in its national parks to the sunrise over the world famous Ngorongoro Crater.

Zambia is filled with abundant wildlife, massive lakes and open spaces. It is where British colonial history and traditional village life meet and where you can view the silhouette of a hippo against a fiery Zambezi River sunset. Just as striking are the colourful traditional ceremonies whilst the showstopper is that spectacular curtain of water, Victoria Falls.
