Africa Holidays & Africa Tours

Our Tours in Africa

Our Africa holidays take you closer to nature. From the sandy dunes of Namibia to the roar of Victoria Falls, the dizzy heights of Kilimanjaro and the idyllic shores of Zanzibar, to dream of Africa is to dream of wide-open spaces, huge skies and abundant wildlife.

Join one of our Africa tours and watch in wonder as millions of wildebeest cross the Mara River; elephants bathe in the shimmering waters of the Okavango Delta; a pride of lions prowls the Kruger plains; a camel train crosses the vast Sahara Desert; lemurs skip along a dirt track in Madagascar; or a gorilla lazily chews leaves in the Virunga Mountains… Whatever your dream adventure entails, you’ll find it in our range of Africa trips.

As for African culture, it is no less fascinating whether you choose to explore the souks of Marrakech or visit the ochre-covered Himba tribe of Namibia. Check out our tours in Africa below to kick-start the holiday of a lifetime.

Top 5 Africa Tour Highlights:

1). Victoria Falls: Thundering down a huge basalt cliff into the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world and is a must-see natural wonder on Africa holidays. The mammoth sheets of spray (known as ‘The Smoke that Thunders’) and brilliant rainbows create an iconic scene that can be seen from miles around. There are several vantage points for viewing the falls, including the Falls Bridge, Livingstone Island and the Lookout Tree.

2). The Great Migration: One of nature’s most awe-inspiring wildlife experiences is the Great Migration. Each year around two million wildebeest, gazelle and zebra set off on a tremendous journey through Kenya and Tanzania in search of food and water. The best place to witness this spectacle on Africa tours is in the Masai Mara and the Serengeti between the months of July and October.

3). Trekking Kilimanjaro: Looming almost 6,000 metres above northeast Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest peak in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Trekking to its summit is no mean feat but the rewards and sense of achievement are unparalleled. As you hike through remote farmland and dense rainforest, you’ll see some of the world’s most breathtakingly beautiful scenery and meet magnificent wildlife along the way.

4). Wadi Rum: Owing to its vast and intense beauty, Wadi Rum in southwest Jordan has found its way onto many a traveller’s bucket list, making it a popular destination on tours of Africa. Explore the valley’s sandstone peaks and granite rocks and in the evenings as the sunset washes the desert in deep pinks and fiery reds, tuck into a zarb dinner at a Bedouin camp and gaze up at the star-studded sky.

5). The Valley of the Kings: Standing on the West Bank of Luxor on the River Nile, the Valley of the Kings is a most fascinating site worth visiting on Africa holidays. The valley is home to 62 royal pharaoh tombs, including Ramses IV, Set I, and Tutankhamun, which can be found among a labyrinth of corridors and underground chambers. Painted on the walls you’ll also see fascinating hieroglyphs that depict life in the ancient times of the Egyptians.
