Africa’s scenery alone is enough to make it the envy of other continents. Lush plains, sprawling deserts, and perfect coasts await the curious and the brave. It’s not the landscapes and exotic wildlife that keep travellers coming back though; it’s the energy and vibe that infuse every day here. Africa isn’t a place you visit; it’s a place you get swept up in.

South Africa

Soweto Township

Soweto is the very best place to understand apartheid and how it was overcome. We’ll introduce you to some of the locals who fought against the system and let them tell their stories over a pint of marvellous locally produced beer in a traditional shebeen.

Madagascar

Wildlife Walks

Mainland Africa is extraordinary, but Madagascar? It’s extra extraordinary. Explore its big parks and out-of-the-way spots in search of some of the weirdest and most exotic species on the planet, including chameleons, lemurs, and flying foxes (yes).

Tanzania

Zanzibar

The spice island of Zanzibar, located off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean, is a unique side of the continent experienced only by a lucky few. The city of Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its pace of life is best described in one word: idyllic.
