The treasures of East and Southern Africa are at the vanguard of this breathtaking domain, and in 2024, the fascination of the African continent is stronger than ever. All around the world, every area provides a unique experience. Every step you take as you travel between lodges, reserves, and nations weaves a new tapestry of African viewpoints.
What’s hot in Africa?
Beautiful nature envelops you in East Africa, where well-known safari locations offer an abundance of sightings, ranging from the much anticipated Great Migration of zebras and wildebeests in Kenya and Tanzania to mountain gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda. You can take a walking safari with the Maasai or Samburu, who are dressed in vibrant fabrics and elaborate beadwork, led by natives who narrate stories about the region.
Great deserts like the Namib and Kalahari await you, with premier wildlife reserves like Botswana’s Chobe and South Africa’s Kruger National Park, welcoming visitors seeking the Big 5 and infrequent sightings of wild dogs.
Discover South Luangwa while you take in the splendour of Zambia’s and Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls. Or come to the end of your adventure at Cape Town, where the world’s best red wines are waiting for you in the Cape Winelands, a region of immaculate vineyards and wine estates.
