Why Australians love Africa
Africa is the big adventure — the trip people save for and never stop talking about afterwards. There's nothing quite like your first morning game drive: the dust, the light, and a lion not twenty metres away. It rearranges what you thought a holiday could be.
And it's far more than safari. You can track the Big Five in the morning and sip wine in the Cape that afternoon; cruise the Nile past 4,000-year-old temples; lose yourself in a Marrakech souk; or trek to mountain gorillas in the cloud forest. Wildlife, history, culture, desert and some of the world's best beaches — often in a single trip.
Because it's so vast, it tends to become a lifelong love affair: a first safari in South Africa becomes the Serengeti migration, then Egypt's temples, then gorillas in Rwanda.
A genuine bucket-list trip
The Big Five, the Great Migration and landscapes you've watched on documentaries your whole life.
Easier than you'd think
South Africa is English-speaking, well set up for visitors and a brilliant first taste of the continent.
Value in the north
Egypt and Morocco deliver world-class history and culture at very friendly prices.
Safari and so much more
Pair wildlife with the Cape Winelands, Nile cruises, desert nights or an Indian Ocean beach.
Once-in-a-lifetime wildlife
Gorilla trekking, the migration river crossings, whales off the Cape — moments you never forget.
Made for honeymoons
Private game lodges and the beaches of Zanzibar, Mauritius and the Seychelles are pure romance.
