Africa The Continent of Africa has transfixed travellers over the years with its scenic wonders, diverse wildlife and genuine sense of an unfolding adventure. At the base of the continent is South Africa, a country that offers everything from the ‘Big 5’ in Kruger and other parks, the scenic winelands of Paarl and Stellenbosch, whale watching from the shores of Hermanus, the beautiful beaches and mountain backdrop of the Garden Route, the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains to the spectacular views of Cape Town overlooked by Table Mountain. Touring South Africa can be done by self drive or on an escorted tour. In East Africa, Kenya has long been held as the definitive safari destination, especially for first timers. Good quality lodges in well run parks allow for truly memorable wildlife viewing, such as herds of Elephant crossing the Amboseli plains in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, the elusive Leopard in the semi-arid landscape of Samburu, and the magnificent prides of Lion in the famous Masai Mara. Bordering Kenya, Tanzania plays host to huge herds of migratory Zebra and Wildebeest across the vast Serengeti Plains. There is also the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater with its dramatic volcanic origins creating a huge natural bowl full of wildlife such as Rhinoceros. For the keen hiker, there is the opportunity to climb the World’s highest free-standing mountain Kilimanjaro! Other countries in Southern Africa also provide magical safari and wilderness experiences. Botswana is renowned for being the ultimate safari destination with the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park being first on most visitor’s wish lists. Neighbouring Zambia can combine a safari experience with a visit to the mighty Victoria Falls, and Namibia offers the startling landscapes of both the Namib and Kalahari deserts.
