Africa Holidays

It's impossible not to be swept off your feet by the majestic displays of Africa, a melting pot of contrasts. Be awed by the endless grasslands of the Maasai Mara where zebras and giraffes graze in peace, interrupted occasionally by the roar of a lion, and where hippopotamuses laze. Take in the dynamic cities that present a seamless fusion of modern and traditional cultures. Glimpse rural Kenyan life amid lofty mountains and unique African fauna as you journey on iconic trains through the heartlands of this epic continent.

No trip to Africa is complete without trying its unique flavours; sample the wines of the Stellenbosch Valley or treat yourself to an authentic Kenyan coffee. You can also experience some 17th-century adventure aboard the Flying Dutchman funicular railway on the tumultuous Cape of Good Hope. A whole new world awaits you in Africa.

About Africa

As might be expected of a continent that occupies one-fifth of the world's land area, Africa is diverse in every respect. Its landscapes encompass everything from dense, lush rainforest to arid desert, its settlements range from remote tribal villages to ultra-modern and cosmopolitan cities and its climate from tropical warmth to sub-arctic cold.

It is this diversity that makes Africa such a compelling, exciting and inspiring destination. Graced with a seemingly unlimited fund of unique historic, cultural and natural wonders, Africa rewards even the briefest visit with a host of sights and experiences that will become cherished memories.

Whether for the adventure of a safari in one of Africa's remarkable game reserves such as the Kruger National Park, the exploration of Africa's rich colonial heritage, the celebration of a culture steeped in tradition, art, music and dance or simply to enjoy a journey through some of the most spectacular scenery on earth, Africa provides something to amaze and delight every visitor.
