Africa is a continent of colour and contrast – from the sands and ancient monuments in the North to lush rainforest and gorillas in the Centre; from the endless grassy savannahs, teeming with wildlife in the East to the unrivalled scenic beauty of the South.

Towering snow-capped mountains and rich tropical seas, green flood plains and red deserts, thundering waterfalls and dry bush, old customs and new ways, busy modern cities and the cradle of mankind – they all meet in Africa!

No fewer than 53 countries and four territories make up this continent. It is the world’s second largest continent, bordered by two oceans (Atlantic and Indian) and three seas (Mediterranean, Red and Arabian). The world’s longest river, the Nile, flows through it, the fabled source of which, Lake Victoria, is the world’s second largest fresh water lake. It also contains the world’s largest desert, the grand Sahara. It is, without doubt, the continent most closely associated with exploration and mystery and represents one of the best value for money continents for travel.
