Not so long ago, Africa may have seemed out of reach to you. The good news is that Africa and all of its magical scenery and wildlife are now more accessible than ever.
Africa is a huge continent and every corner of it offers new and unforgettable travel experiences. In the north, Egypt beckons vacationers with an unrivalled history that extends back to the time of the pharaohs. The Red Sea, the temples of Luxor, the Sphinx and the great pyramids of Giza are some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, and with very good reason. There is nowhere else on earth that you will find sights like this.
Across the Mediterranean Sea from Spain, Morocco is a blend of exotic Africa and sophisticated Europe. Visit the local souks (or markets) to sample the best of the world’s produce and handicrafts in one place.
Take home fragrant spices, intricately woven rugs, leather bags and stunning jewellery at bargain prices. Or head into the heart of Africa to a country like Kenya or Tanzania where nature lovers can spend their days spotting wildlife, hiking, mountain climbing, or simply relaxing at a wilderness lodge and watching a family of hippos play in the river. Or trek through the jungles of Uganda to visit with endangered gorillas. Or go on a wine tasting tour through the lush valleys of South Africa.
