Africa
South Africa:
Glorious Cape Town and hiking in the winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, dinner around a blazing fire in the boma of a safari camp in Kruger National Park, coastal hiking on the Garden Route and Knysna Coast.
Botswana:
Glide through quiet channels by dug out mekoro in the Okavango Delta, sleep under canvas in the Kalahari Desert, walk with Bushman trackers in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and meet the Big Five in the game parks of the Moremi and Savute.
Zambia:
Walk to the Devil’s Cataract and marvel at the rainbows of Victoria Falls, visit local villages, take an elephant back safari before watching the sun set on the Zambezi River.
Kenya & Tanzania:
Witness the migration of millions of animals across the legendary plains of the Masai Mara and Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater with more than 30,000 resident animals, exchange stories of your children with a Samburu tribesman or simply ponder huge flocks of bright pink flamingos on Lake Nakuru. Sleep under canvas in classic safari camps and finish with a few days in a splendid villa on the coast in Lamu with its Arabic architecure and ancient culture.
Zanzibar:
The history and romance of Stone Town, the pervasive smell of cloves, endless beaches and dhows, pirates and explorers brought on trade winds from the east, a beautiful piece of Arabia perched on the edge of Africa.
Rwanda & Uganda:
Gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans, the Virungas and Bwindi Forest, chimpanzees, hiking through hillside communities, and the source of the Nile discovered.
Morocco:
Dance under the stars in a Berber camp at the edge of the Sahara; hike the endless pathways of the Atlas Mountains and the ramparts of the ancient coastal city of Mogador; loose yourself in the medina of Marrakech awash with carpets, kilims, and mountains of spices before being mesmerized by a snake charmer. At night retire amid the exotic architecture of small, perfectly restored riads with courtyard fountains and walled gardens.
Madagasgar:
Encounter numerous varieties of Lemurs, marvel at pre-historic baobab trees, hike through orchid forests in the clouds, explore colonial hill towns and snorkel along the coast of the Mozambique Channel – all on one island.
