What other area can offer you such an immense variety of wildlife, history and culture?  From the vast domain of the Masai Mara in Kenya, to the modern city of Cape Town, travelling through Africa you will see untamed beauty, an abundance of wildlife, meet friendly locals who live on “African Time” and camp out under crystal clear skies.  Where else can you see gorillas in their natural habitat, over a million flamingos covering a soda lake, a herd of thousands of wildebeest on the move, or spot the big cats moving in for a kill.  Climb the highest peak in Africa, test your stamina against the tallest sand dune, sail around the magnificent Bazaruto Islands, drift through the Okavango Delta in a dug-out canoe or up the pace with grade 5 white water rafting on the Zambezi.

You can head North to Egypt, Morocco and the Middle East, a fabulously diverse region with so much to offer the discerning traveler: marvel at the Sphinx and Pyramids, survive the sheer intensity of Cairo, explore the temples at Karnak and Aswan, the atmospheric ruins at Petra, contemplate the desert scenery of Wadi Rum (a favorite of Lawrence of Arabia).Compare Roman, Persian, Egyptian, Turkish and Babylonian ruins in Syria, or experience the incredible hospitality of Turkey.  In Morocco, camp out under the Saharan skies and negotiate the 30 kilometres of alleyways which make up the medina of Fes and soak up the romance of Casablanca.
