Multi-Country Africa Highlights

Travellers in safari vehicles looking at the Great Wilderbeest Migration in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

The Great Migration

The show is about to begin. Over two million wildebeest and zebras race across the Mara River from Kenya into Tanzania. For just three months each year. Pull up to the cliffside for sunrise, and watch as nature’s greatest spectacle unfolds. You’ve dreamt about African safaris before. We bet they never looked like this.

Traveller riding camel in Morocco

Sahara Desert, Morocco

From pure golden stretches to the clearest of skies. It’s not every day you go glamping in the Sahara Desert, but after this, you’ll wish it were. Go sandboarding down those famous dunes, then stargaze late into the night, cosying by the campfire. Just when you think the Sahara cannot get any better, it does.

Travellers and ranger looking out of safari vehicle looking for wildlife in Kruger National Park in South Africa at sunsett

Kruger National Park, South Africa

The safari to end all safaris. Say hey to Africa’s iconic Big 5 - lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos - who call Kruger home. Plus your future favourites… giraffes, hippos, even crocodiles! South Africa’s first-ever national park makes an extraordinary impression.

Gorilla spotted in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park whilst jungle trekking in Uganda

Gorilla Trekking, Uganda

Time to rewrite your bucket list, because gorilla trekking in Uganda needs to be up top. Half of the world’s mountain gorilla population can be found at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Hike through the emerald jungle trails, every step taking you closer to a wildlife encounter with shared DNA…

Giraffe with Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro doesn’t settle for ordinary. So why should you? Conquer Africa’s highest peak and push yourself to new limits. Hard, but so rewarding. Camp under the stars with fellow explorers, bonded by what you’re achieving together. Nothing beats the high of summit day.

Victoria Falls in Zambia

Victoria Falls, Zambia & Zimbabwe

‘The Smoke That Thunders’... Name a more powerful translation, we’ll wait. One glimpse and your adrenaline is rushing faster than the water. Decide whether Zambia or Zimbabwe has the edge for insane views, from rainbows to cave pools. Welcome to the world’s largest waterfall.

Tree with tall sand dunes and clear blue skies behind in Namib desert in Namibia

Namib Desert, Namibia

As if you’ve stepped onto another planet. Gaze up at giant amber dunes that kiss the sky. Step onto sparkling white salt flats. Stand between rolling sands and crashing ocean waves. But it’s when the sun sets that the scenery really gets going. Watch as the Milky Way dances late into the night… Only in Namibia.

okavango delta botswana

Okavango Delta, Botswana

The Okavango Delta moves to its own rhythm. Lush habitats give way to winding rivers, taking you deeper into Botswana’s wild heart. Glide along in a traditional mokoro boat. Feel the gentle rise and fall of the water. Some moments are so quiet, your heart skipping a beat is the loudest thing.

Group travellers in south africa at viewpoint

Cape Town, South Africa

The kind of city you’ll write love letters about. Soak in the dramatic views of Table Mountain. Chase every shade of the rainbow in vibrant neighbourhoods. Meet the iconic penguins of Boulders Beach. So dreamy, you’ll be planning your return before you’ve even left… Yep, that’s the Cape Town effect.

Blue shores of Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar Island-Hopping

Like the Maldives with a twist. Fall in love with this stunning collection of islands, famed not just for those crystal-clear seas or sandy stretches so pristine they’ll ruin all other beaches for you. Oh, no. Throw in spice markets, cobbled streets and the magic of Stone Town. Zanzibar stays with you.

Multi-Country Africa Travel Advice

Group travellers at Ait Ben Haddou Morocco

Climate & Weather

Africa is the hottest continent on the planet, famed for its mostly tropical climate. Much of the continent has distinct wet and dry seasons, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (located south of the Sahara Desert).

Meanwhile, countries like Morocco and Egypt, as well as parts of South Africa, experience more Mediterranean-style weather. Summers are warm and dry, whilst winters are mild and can see some rainfall.
