We allow you to tour and discover the African continent as you never have done it before, even in your dreams! We will guide you through trips and safaris to the most interesting and wonderful places, so you can see Africa as nobody else. You can choose the best hotels in the different places you want to discover. Africa has it all: cheap accommodation, luxury resorts, elegant casinos for those who look forward to play casino games on their travels, middle-of-the-road tourist hotels. It is more affordable to explore small regions in depth with a local guide, rather than travelling around the whole continent. The guided itinerary's cost varies a lot from country to country; i.e. Botswana, Zambia and Namibia have been trying to attract more of an upmarket clientele, and finding cheap ways of travel there is more challenging than in other countries. In many countries, tour operators' buses are the most comfortable means of getting around. In other places, Peugeot bush taxis are a common way of transport. In isolated areas, catching a ride with a willing driver is often the only option, and that's also a great guided tour! No matter what, always bear in mind that Africa is the birth place of humanity, and being there is an enormous privilege by itself.

Over the past millennia, African societies have developed complex empires and civilisations, with luxury features, whereas other continents were still in primitive prehistory. Many African empires were small and their existence wasn't long; but some were huge and left their mark all over the world. One of the greatest examples was ancient Egypt and its Pharaohs and the Nile Valley. Carthage and North Africa, established by Phoenicians, controlled much of the trade in the Mediterranean. West African empires, with wealth based on gold mining and the salt mines of the Sahara, also had a huge importance. For these reasons, travel to Africa, as is the most diverse continent on earth. Africa is not only the cradle of humanity; it is also at the origin of the evolution of many other species of vegetals and animals, and discovering those should be an absolute priority of your escorted trip and itinerary planning, whether budget or luxury.

Lions, giraffes, elephants, leopards or antelopes are such iconic mammals of Africa, that a tour without a safari allowing to see them would be a frustrating one. Don't neglect guided safari itineraries favouring the vegetation, though: baobabs, sausage trees, the savanna are some of the vegetals of Africa. National Parks occupy over 190,000 square miles in Africa and a prominent position in African tourism. Travel there, especially in the East and South of Africa, to connect with Nature, see wildlife reserves and community-based conservation projects.

Last but not least, African landscapes, by themselves, can also justify travelling to that continent. The great mountain ranges, the Atlas Mountains, the Rwenzori Mountains, and the volcanoes such as Mt Kilimanjaro will take your breath away. The Victoria Falls, the Great Lakes and wetlands, not to mention the particular biohabitat of the desert are in many ways the lifelines of Africa and will make your travel an unforgettable experience.
