North America Holidays - USA & Canada

The heart of North America beats through towering forests, undulating fields, high-plain deserts, pulsating metropolises and offbeat oases. Iconic cities that need no introduction are just the icing on this culture-laden cake. Yes, you have the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Smithsonian in Washington DC but the buzz of music, art and film finds its way down into everyday life, with citizens as often creating as consuming. From Toronto's film festival to Mexico City's thriving music scene, North America is a veritable storyboard of enlightening experiences just waiting to be uncovered. Holidays to North America offer a myriad of choice; with vast landscapes and vibrant cityscapes to explore. Go hiking in the Rockies, experience the thrills of Florida's theme parks or head to the bright lights of Vegas to try your hand with lady luck. An adventure awaits you on a Canada or USA holiday. There's a lot to squeeze in on USA holidays – each of the 50 states has a super-size selection of sights. Whether you want scenic national parks, thrilling theme parks, vast canyons or mega-malls, you can find it all on a USA holiday.

From the breathtaking national parks in the Western U.S. to the charming Southern towns and historic cities in the East, North America tours offer a splendid experience throughout Canada and the United States. Travel throughout just one region or take a tour that journeys across the country—whatever you decide, North America holidays offer a large collection of affordable options for you. See the major sights—such as Niagara Falls, Yellowstone National Park, Graceland, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, and more—and enjoy time on your own to explore. If the mood strikes, whisk your partner off to a Las Vegas wedding chapel to say I do. Inside the glass globe Mapparium in colonial Boston, whisper sweet nothings to your loved-one and hear them echo back even louder. Lovers can seek solitude and find the perfect palm-fringed beach while island-hopping the tropical Florida Keys, scattered off the south coast. Los Angeles, City of Angels, Tinsel town, La La Land. Whatever you want to call it, the beaches, mountains, food, culture and sheer pizzazz of LA are undeniably seductive. Los Angeles County is truly vast – made up of 88 separate ‘cities’ with some 75 miles of coastline – though despite what you may have heard, most places of interest are easily accessible. Attractions in Los Angeles range from the fast-paced and fun-filled to the completely free! Theme park fans will adore the stomach-churning rides at Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm, while film buffs can delve into Hollywood history at Universal Studios Hollywood or pre-book a Movie Star Homes & Warner Bros. Studios Tour.

Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, and in many other ways she resembles her more powerful neighbor to the south, the United States, although there are significant differences between the two countries. One should not make the common and embarrassing mistake of assuming everything is more or less the same in the two countries. Canada is perfectly happy with its British heritage and most Canadians are proud of this. Moreover, Canada has always been heavily influenced by immigrants from two European nations, the British and the French. Polite yet edgy, urban yet green: Toronto is one of those places where you can get it all. A cultural leader, Toronto has a thriving art community and food scene. And while you could spend weeks enthralled between Toronto's urban virtues, it's a green city too. Parks and natural spaces fill in city gaps, and public transport is top notch.

The vast Kenyan game reserves offer top notch game viewing and invoke the simple Masai culture whilst Namibia, Botswana and Tanzania are less developed, truly unspoilt and just that bit more wild. Debate with venerable merchants among the cool, narrow streets of an Arabic medina, dance to the thumping reggae beats coming from a West African market stall, or shoot the breeze with fishermen under Indian Ocean palm trees, and you’ll be struck more than anything else by the honesty, warm-heartedness and vitality of the African people. Let us discuss some of the top places in the continent of Africa.

Kenya

Situated on the equator, this East African country has been described as ‘the cradle of humanity’. With its scenic beauty and abundant wildlife, Kenya is one of Africa’s major safari destinations made famous by world renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve. It is a land of contrasts, comprising arid deserts, rich savannas, snow-capped Mount Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, lakes and palm-fringed sandy beaches. The country boasts the widest array of game species in Africa, including the ‘Big Five’. Kenya is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, unique geographical features and species thus providing for a scenic safari. Whatever you are seeking, you will find it here. The rich diversity of this single country provides something for everyone.

South Africa

South Africa holidays offer all the best of Africa, with idyllic beaches and wild safaris updated with cosmopolitan cities. This is a long haul holiday without the jet lag, leaving you with more energy to explore the exhausting sights on offer on a South Africa holiday. Known as the 'rainbow nation' for its cultural mix, South Africa holiday packages also offer something for everyone. South Africa is a paradise for anyone interested in natural history. A wide range of species (some potentially dangerous) may be encountered in parks, farms, private reserves and even on the roads. Cool, cosmopolitan and framed by Table Mountain, Cape Town holidays offer a cultured city break in the heart of South Africa.

Morocco

Meeting the Moroccan people involves nothing more than sitting in a cafe and waiting for your mint tea to brew. The trick is to leave enough time to watch the world go by with the locals when there’s so much else to fit in: hiking up North Africa’s highest peak, learning to roll couscous, camel trekking, shopping in the souqs, getting lost in the medina, and sweating in the hammam. Moroccan cuisine is often reputed to be some of the best in the world, with countless dishes and variations proudly bearing the country's colonial and Arabic influences. The biggest event on the Moroccan calendar is the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast during the day time and break the fast at sunset.

Africa’s not always an easy place to travel in. It can be frustrating and challenging at times. Hardships and logistical disasters can happen. But don’t believe everything you see on TV.
