From the untamed wilderness of South Africa and the iconic savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania to the idyllic islands of Sao Tome & Principe and the vibrant cities of Morocco, Africa offers an array of unforgettable experiences for the discerning traveller seeking a unique and authentic adventure.
In South Africa, a land of captivating beauty, you will discover an extraordinary mix of breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities. Witness the majesty of Kruger National Park as you embark on thrilling game drives. Savour world-class cuisine in Cape Town’s trendy restaurants, hike through the dramatic landscapes of Table Mountain, or explore the scenic winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. South Africa offers a luxurious yet authentic experience where adventure and relaxation seamlessly intertwine.
Kenya and Tanzania, known as the heart of the African safari experience, beckon with their iconic landscapes and unrivaled wildlife encounters. In Kenya, traverse the expansive Maasai Mara Reserve and witness the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. Immerse yourself in Maasai culture and gain a deeper understanding of their ancient traditions. In Tanzania, explore the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, the mesmerizing Ngorongoro Crater, and the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. These destinations offer exclusive luxury camps and lodges that blend discreetly with the surrounding wilderness.
For a truly off-the-grid experience, Sao Tome & Principe offers a secluded paradise brimming with unspoiled natural beauty. Untarnished by tourism, these stunning islands in the Gulf of Guinea boast pristine golden-sand beaches, lush rainforests teeming with endemic species, and crystal-clear waters. Stay in luxury in one of the very few hotels here. Test assured that, thanks to the responsible credentials of your hotel and the excursions you enjoy, your holiday is contributing to the longevity of this ecological Eden.
Morocco, a vibrant blend of ancient traditions and modern allure, beckons with its exotic charm. Explore the bustling medinas of Marrakech and Fez, where narrow labyrinthine streets reveal vibrant souks, exquisite architecture, and tantalizing scents. Journey into the majestic, copper-coloured Atlas Mountains and visit the homes of Bedouin tribes, almost indistinguishable from the russet mountainsides. Stay in luxurious mountain retreats, and soak up panoramic views and bronze sunsets. Morocco offers an enchanting blend of luxury, adventure, and cultural immersion that is sure to captivate your senses.
Whether you seek thrilling wildlife encounters, secluded island escapes, or immersive cultural experiences, Africa invites you to discover its hidden treasures.
