The continent of Africa comprises spectacular natural beauty, exotic African cultures, an entire Ark of inimitable animals, as well as warm, wonderful inhabitants from all sorts of backgrounds. It is literally an entire world wrapped up in one continent, just waiting to be unwrapped by the intrepid traveller on a safari holiday.
Africa boasts wetlands where ungainly pink flamingos stand like sentries waiting for the unwary fish or frog below, desolate, dry deserts whose red dunes reach up to the skies and Quiver trees appear like legions of battle weary warriors, and large tracts of bush literally teeming with wildlife.
It is a land mass that is the undisputed cradle of all man and where a variety of clans and tribes still carve their existence out of the natural riches of the earth. It boasts no fewer than 4 classified wonders of the world
The Great pyramids of Giza in Egypt
The Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zambia
The annual Serengeti Migration in Tanzania
The Ngorongoro Crater, which contains the Olduvai Gorge where some of the oldest hominid fossils are found
And it has a long and bountiful history, remembered by the locals in song, dance and mythology.
The consummate African safari specialist will be able to give guests a tiny taste of all the continent has to offer, from the world-renowned game reserves of East Africa to the cruel and unforgiving Skeleton Coast of Namibia, where the last Dune elephants trudge the wide open spaces with impunity.
But it is not all wild and untamed. The southern tip of Africa boasts one of the most cosmopolitan and trendy cities in the world, Cape Town, renowned for its superb wine, great shopping facilities and awesome natural beauty. South Africa’s urban hub, Johannesburg, was built on the promise of gold and is a modern, wealthy, first-world city with Africa’s largest stock exchange.
Neighbouring Mozambique has a wonderful array of tropical islands where turtles and dugongs rule the surf and, for the perfect honeymoon getaway, there’s the spice island of Zanzibar, a community that reflects the history of Africa and its people, where Arabic, Chinese and European features intermingle with African descent.
A vacation in Africa will undoubtedly be a cathartic experience for even the most seasoned of travellers, purely because of the incredible diversity of cultures, animals, people and nature.
