Traveling to Africa
Africa offers an incredible diversity of vacation spots, from thrilling safaris and adventurous mountain treks to relaxing beach getaways and cultural explorations that our travel advisor can help you book. The best choice for you will depend on your interests, budget, and travel style.
For the Ultimate Safari Experience
Tanzania & Kenya
These two countries are the quintessential safari destinations, especially for witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events in Africa and on Earth. Kenya's Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti are home to a high concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo). Tanzania also offers the unique experience of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site with an incredible density of animals within a volcanic caldera.
South Africa
Our travel advisor recommends for first-timers and families, South Africa offers a wide variety of experiences beyond just safaris. You can enjoy a classic safari in Kruger National Park or explore a malaria-free reserve like Madikwe Game Reserve. South Africa also boasts beautiful cities like Cape Town, stunning coastlines, and the famous Winelands.
Botswana
Known for its low-density tourism and high-quality wildlife sightings in Africa, Botswana is a top choice for a more exclusive and adventurous safari. The Okavango Delta is a water wonderland where you can go on a "mokoro" (traditional canoe) safari, spotting elephants and other animals from the water.
Rwanda & Uganda
While these countries have excellent "classic" African safari destinations, they are most famous for gorilla trekking. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, trekking through the misty rainforests to see endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is a powerful and unforgettable adventure.
For Adventure Seekers
- Namibia: This is a country of breathtaking and otherworldly landscapes. You can go on a self-drive safari through Etosha National Park, explore the symmetrical red dunes of Sossusvlei, or marvel at the vast, desolate beauty of the Namib Desert. Namibia is also home to the world's largest population of wild cheetahs.
- Zambia & Zimbabwe: These neighboring countries are home to the majestic Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls. Beyond the stunning views, you can participate in a variety of adrenaline-fueled activities like white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and even swimming in the famous Devil's Pool on the edge of the falls.
- Tanzania: Beyond its safari opportunities, Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and the world's tallest freestanding peak. While a challenging climb, the trek to the summit is a popular bucket-list adventure.
- Morocco: A vibrant blend of culture and adventure. You can camel trek through the Sahara Desert, explore the bustling markets and historic souks of Marrakech, or hike through the stunning Atlas Mountains.
