Travel Africa
|
Travel is traditional in these parts (after all 'safari' is Swahili for travel). It's also the best way to immerse yourself in life. So go on take the bus, camel, light aircraft, balloon, horse, mekoro, felucca…
Not much time? - why not focus on one country. South Africa has everything from safaris in Kruger to rugby in Capetown to scuba diving in Sodwana.
No pressures? - then take a trip from Johannesburg to Nairobi, pausing to bungee-jump at Victoria Falls, climb Mount Kilimanjaro, sunbathe in Zanzibar and witness the wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater.
You're paddling a dugout canoe silently through avenues of papyrus in the Okavango Delta, when suddenly…blam!…a hippo rears up causing an instant tidal wave. Welcome to Africa and the Middle East - it's spontaneous adventure time!
Visit the sacred sites of Christianity and Islam and the wonders of the ancient world at Petra and Giza. Take a musical pilgrimage to Mali, birthplace of the desert blues. Go clubbing in Eilat or end up legless in the wine lands of Stellenbosch.
