Africa Holidays

To many travellers, Africa is uncharted territory. We’ve heard about its wildlife and connection to the beginnings of mankind, but there’s so much more. A number of countries are now offering a high calibre of tourism, top-notch guides, unique resorts, and excellent companies that feature eco adventures, hands-on learning, volunteer experiences and much more. If you want to go somewhere different that not every one of your friends and family has gone to, Africa is it. It appeals to intrepid explorers who like unspoiled terrain, amazing safaris, and cultural encounters.

 

Among the best-known countries is South Africa, a unique blend of nature reserves like Kruger National Park, mountains, vineyards, world-class golf courses and urban chic with sophisticated cities like Cape Town. Kenya and Tanzania hold great allure for wildlife and nature lovers, plus a large handful of adventurers who seek to climb Mount Kenya or Mount Kilimanjaro. Egypt is becoming a favourite for its hot sunny climates, The Pyramids (naturally), fantastic museums, and bustling markets. The countries that you may not know as well are worth getting to know too.

 

Morocco and Tunisia are ideal spots for those who love package holidays with everything neatly bundled together for a carefree holiday. A nice combination of affordability, fine hotels and beaches has attracted the weekend getaway crowd as well as the long-term stay holidaymakers who love to live by the sea. There’s never been a better time to discover the exotic splendours of Africa. Have your Travel Counsellor help point the way.

Capetown and Garden Route and Safari

Travel Counsellor: Kathy O`Sullivan

I had the privilege on going on this trip with other agents down to South Africa. For me South Africa has been on my wish list for a very long time and and it will remain on my wish list to revisit with my family in the future. The highlight of the trip I thought was going to be the safari but the whole trip had so many highlights it would be unfair to pinpoint one.. My tour started out in Capetown; a city that has it all. For the first two nights we stayed in a three star downtown hotel, for those on a budget the hotels at this end of the town are more reasonable and the standard was very good. Most tourists head to the V&A Waterfront and I would recommend a hotel around this area. The V&A Waterfront is set in the middle of a working harbour and the original dockside buildings are now converted into a great collection of bars, restaurants, art and craft shops, and an upmarket shopping mall which houses plenty of shops that I happily spent my rands in. After a hard days sightseeing... view full story
