Highlights of Southern Africa - Better (Jun - Oct)

A visit the world's oldest living desert is the perfect add-on to any safari. Self-driving gives you a sense of freedom and adventure in this easy-to-navigate country. This ancient land offers plenty of excitement, once-in-lifetime experiences and unique wildlife to see. An ocean of red sand dunes, white salt pans, tranquilty and dazzling night skies bring the desert magic in spades. 

An exotic spice island amid warm turquoise seas, Zanzibar is the perfect extension to any safari. This is the perfect place to unwind and reflect on your grand African adventure. Stroll the white sand beaches in search of seashells or snorkel on the lively coral reefs. Discover the vibrant Swahili culture that has been shaped by centuries of worldwide trade on a walking tour of historic Stone Town.

Travel to the heart of Rwanda where mist-draped volcanic rainforests hide families of endangered mountain gorillas. Trekking to see them is often described as magical and transformative. Meeting the eyes of a silverback gorilla and seeing his thoughtful, intelligent gaze looking back at you full of understanding is an awe-inspiring experience. Looking down as a playful little baby romps up to you and tugs at your shoelaces and looks up at you with utter curiosity - your connection with the natural world will never be the same.
