Why Vacation in Africa?

Unique Experience

Africa is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy different adventures on one trip. You can join an exhilarating safari, take a hot air balloon ride, and enjoy stunning seascapes. You can check out local bazaars and visit beautiful wineries. You can even explore some of the world's great wonders, including Victoria Falls and the wild plains of the Serengeti. Those who have been to Africa before will tell you that no two experiences are alike.

World-Class Wildlife

Most people hope to see the Big Five game animals on a trip to Africa: lions, leopards, African buffalos, African bush elephants, and black rhinoceros. But its rich and diverse wildlife includes so much more - zebras, impalas, and warthogs. There are also baboons, meerkats, hippos, hyenas, and giraffes. You can go on a great migration safari – watch herds of wildebeests and listen to their thundering hooves as they cross the vast savannah. You can even go whale-watching, shark diving or see the endangered mountain gorillas.

Surf, Sun, and Sand

It's not just about the wildlife. Africa is the perfect place for those looking for a coastal paradise. South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, and Mozambique are home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches - gorgeous clear blue water and soft, white sand. You can choose to enjoy a fantastic seascape filled with celebrity sightings. Or you can opt for peace and tranquility on one of the less-trodden beaches.

Delicious Dining

Once you taste African cuisine, you'll realize what you've been missing. Taste the gastronomic delights in Kenya like the nyama choma. Awaken your taste buds with dishes from known Spice Island, Zanzibar, such as urojo soup. South African cuisine is unlike any other because of the influence of various cultures, including the Dutch and French.

Several untamed islands nearby are home to coral gardens, turtles, whales, and thriving marine life. Swimming with whale sharks is one of the most famous underwater activities in the area. Safari lovers can also visit the Gorongosa National Park, which is home to wildebeests, buffalos, and over 500 species of birds. Adventure lovers can enjoy horse riding, off-road driving, and sailing.

Kenya

Kenya is an unforgettable experience for any traveler. From its stunning beaches to its excellent wildlife game preserves, there's plenty to see, eat, and do in this country. Kenya has several impressive natural reserves, like the Lake Nakuru National Park and Nairobi National Park. The Samburu Game Reserve is home to its own Special Five - the gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, the Somali ostrich, and the Beisa oryx. Explore Massai Market and other bazaars in the capital. Go diving, snorkeling, and kitesurfing on the white sandy beaches along the Kenyan coast.

 
 

Tanzania

The wild plains of the Serengeti and the Great Migration. Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar's beautiful white sand beaches. Those are a few of the attractions to enjoy in Tanzania. Taste the delicious eats at the Stone Town night food market. Explore the Oldupai Gorge Archeological Site, where the remains of the earliest humans are located. Visit coffee plantations, shop at local bazaars, and take a spice tour. There is a never-ending number of adventures to be had in Tanzania.

 
 

Don't let this list limit you. As your travel planner and advisor, we aim to completely customize your itinerary according to your wishes. We can include gorilla tracking in Rwanda or Uganda. We can help you plan for a unique experience in Botswana or Namibia. We'll include it in your ideal romantic getaway, no matter the destination.

 

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit Africa will depend on the destinations you've marked for your adventure. We can schedule your vacation to South Africa anytime between November and April if you want to enjoy the green season. This is when all the vegetation is flush with life, making it perfect for birdwatching and landscape photography. Since these are the hot summer months, expect many people to visit Cape Town's beaches.

The winter months in South Africa are from May to September. Vegetation thins out, and you can find many animals around water sources. This is the best time to go on a safari because the chances of sighting the Big Five are higher.

In East Africa, such as Tanzania and Kenya, the winter months are from mid-June to October. Like South Africa, these are also the best months for safaris in these countries.

There's no need to worry if you're unsure about your travel dates. Our travel experts are here to help. We'll ensure you enjoy your African experience any time of the year.
