With such a teaser, it’s only fair to tell you a little bit more of how African countries will make your holiday unforgettable. These are our big five reasons (pun intended):
If you love wildlife documentaries or have been dreaming about seeing African animals in their natural habitat from a young age, you’ll be in paradise. See the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and black rhino – with your own eyes. Witness the animals coming to life, which you marvelled at in your picture books as a child. The biggest spectacle is the Great Wildebeest Migration with millions of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes making their way to greener pastures.
Africa is a continent with an almost unmatched diversity, filled with national parks which seem like paintings. Wander through lush jungles and to the summit of Africa’s highest mountains and volcanoes. Take a shower underneath a waterfall and dive into lakes and the ocean. Relax at pearly white beaches and release your inner explorer in the seemingly endless savannahs. No matter where you’ll be roaming, these landscapes will take your breath away.
The Maasai are probably the most-famous African people. However, there are many more who call this continent their home, for example the Samburu in the north of Kenya or the semi-nomadic Karamojong tribe in the northeast of Uganda. Visit them in their villages and learn more about their traditions, customs and how they’ve lived in harmony with nature for centuries.
Just as fascinating as these tribes are African cities. Dive into their rich heritage during guided city tours and activities of the special kind. And of course you must never forget to try local delicacies – that’s culture, too 😉
From calm to adrenaline-fuelled, from “OMG-I-can’t-believe-it” to “WOW-is-this-real?” activities: no matter which country you’ll be in, you can look forward to experiences that will put the biggest smile on your face. You can find them all here, but of course we’d like to give you a little taste of what to expect: hot air balloon safari, feeding giraffes, boat safaris, white water rafting, deep sea fishing and so much more!
You’d like to wallow in luxury after having explored the African savannah for hours? Or maybe you want to have the most authentic and eco-friendly experience by sleeping in a simple tent in nature? Wherever you want to enjoy your downtime, we have the ideal accommodation for you, your budget and your style.
