Wild, Urban & Picturesque - East Africa & South Africa Holidays

In such a vast region, Eastern and Southern Africa holidays have almost limitless options. The diverse landscapes, incredible wildlife and unique cultures of these intriguing countries give you such an array of holiday experiences that you'll be spoilt for choice. Whether you want city, beach or safari, we can create the perfect Africa holiday for you. African holidays make memories that last forever. All offer a huge diversity of wild animals to see on safari and there are countless different landscapes, each one enough to take your breath away. Whether you're looking to enjoy the high life or the wildlife, you'll find it all in South Africa with a wonderful array of cuisine and fine wines. 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. Enjoy African holidays with customized packages from Kuoni together with SOTC. It is one of the destinations that should feature on your holiday bucket list.
