Highlights of Africa

Africa is one of the world's most special continents, full of spectacular destinations. Of course, the ultimate reason to visit remains to experience a safari. This unique experience is possible in many places, such as the Kruger National Park (South Africa), the spectacular Okavango Delta (Botswana) and the iconic Serengeti (Tanzania).

But Africa offers more than safaris. At Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Zambia, you will witness the breathtaking waterfalls. In Madagascar, you will meet the many endemic animal species, including the famous ring-tailed lemurs. Or discover nature in an active way, such as by bicycle through Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya - a safari with a whole new dimension.

A 4×4 is the way to explore Southern Africa. It allows you to reach remote places and rugged terrain effortlessly. In East Africa, you usually travel with a private guide and driver, who not only show you the most beautiful locations, but also share their stories and culture with you.

Botswana offers pure wilderness, Mozambique and Malawi are undiscovered, Rwanda and Uganda enchant with mountain gorillas, and in South Africa you will enjoy vast vineyards. Everywhere you will be introduced to ancient African cultural traditions. Whether you opt for rugged nature, special encounters or adventurous itineraries, Africa will leave a lasting impression.

The ideal travel time for Africa varies by region and climate, but each season has its own charm. Here is a handy overview:

Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, Malawi, Botswana, Madagascar)
The best travel time is from May to October. This is the dry season, which is ideal for safaris as animals gather at water sources and grass is low.

East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda)
The months June to October and December to February are perfect for wildlife. July and August also see the great migration in Kenya's Maasai Mara, while the other months are for wildlife in the Serengeti. For gorilla tracking in Rwanda and Uganda, dry months are best suited.

North Africa (Morocco, Egypt)
Spring(March to May) and autumn(September to November) are pleasant in terms of temperature. Summers can be extremely hot, especially in desert areas.

The best travel time for Mauritius is May to December, while for Seychelles it is April to October.

Africa is a year-round destination; with the right timing, you will experience nature, culture and special activities at their best.

In Tanzania, admire the vast plains of the Serengeti and visit the Ngorongoro Crater - one of the world's most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries. In neighbouring Kenya, you will experience magical safaris in Amboseli, overlooking the majestic Kilimanjaro.

In South Africa, you will find:

  • Vibrant Cape Town with its iconic Table Mountain
  • The vast vineyards around Stellenbosch
  • The impressive Kruger National Park

Namibia surprises with the surreal landscape of Sossusvlei, where red sand dunes reach to the sky, and the wildlife of Etosha.

Rwanda and Uganda offer a unique opportunity to meet mountain gorillas up close in lush rainforests.

Visit the imposing Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or in Zambia, where the beauty of South Luangwa National Park also surprises you. Combine with pristine Malawi or the idyllic beaches of Mozambique. For unique flora and fauna, Madagascar is your ideal destination.

In Botswana, you will discover:

  • The watery Okavango Delta
  • The large population of elephants at the Chobe River

On the Indian Ocean, relax in paradisiacal Seychelles, Mauritius and exotic Zanzibar. In North Africa, discover Morocco's souks, royal cities and the Sahara, or Egypt's pyramids, the Nile and the Red Sea.
