South Africa is an exceptional destination for luxury Africa holidays, offering an incredible variety of experiences for couples, families or groups of friends. Here you can discover the cosmopolitan attractions of Cape Town beneath the iconic Table Mountain, visit fascinating landmarks such as Robben Island and dine at some of the city's acclaimed restaurants before travelling into the beautiful Cape Winelands. Here, picturesque vineyards and gourmet restaurants provide a wonderful contrast to the excitement of the city. Your journey could then continue to a private game reserve for an unforgettable safari, where you may encounter the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) alongside cheetahs, giraffes, hippos and an abundance of beautiful birdlife.
Kenya provides an equally captivating setting for luxury African holidays, with vast savannahs and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities making it a favourite for safari holiday enthusiasts. A tailor made African holiday itinerary could include the Masai Mara where thrilling game drives offer opportunities to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and giraffes. There’s also the possibility of witnessing the spectacular Great Migration if you decide to travel during the appropriate season. Staying at a luxurious African safari camp allows you to experience the wilderness while enjoying attentive service and beautifully appointed surroundings.
Rwanda offers an altogether different style of wildlife travel experience, with its mist-covered mountains and lush forests providing an extraordinary habitat for endangered mountain gorillas. Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park can be incorporated into a wider bespoke African holiday itinerary, creating an unforgettable adventure complemented by luxurious accommodation and opportunities to absorb Rwanda's scenery and culture. In Zimbabwe, meanwhile, exceptional safari experiences await in destinations such as Hwange National Park, renowned for its large elephant populations as well as opportunities to encounter lions, leopards, wild dogs and other wildlife. A stay in Zimbabwe can also be combined with a visit to the magnificent Victoria Falls, adding a visit to an awe-inspiring natural wonder to your Africa bespoke holiday itinerary.
Morocco provides yet another side to the character of Africa. Here you can explore the atmospheric souks, take in historic architecture and stroll along the colourful streets of Marrakech. You can also look forward to sampling the country's celebrated cuisine or venture beyond the confines of the city to discover spectacular landscapes and more traditional communities. Your tailor made holiday in Africa could combine the excitement of a Moroccan city break with time spent relaxing beside the sea, creating the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation.
