Africa
From Tunisia to South Africa, Senegal to Madagascar, Africa offers some of the planet’s oldest, deepest and most profoundly affecting treasures. The region’s attractions range from cutting-edge cosmopolitan cities to awesomely ancient human sites, desert explorations and coastal cruises to bush safaris and mountain gorilla treks. Africa is a place of majestic wildlife, expansive landscapes, exuberant rituals and extraordinary people. Among the most popular destinations are Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia, and Morocco, but there are rare riches to be found throughout the region. One thing is sure: Wherever and however travelers experience Africa, they find that the wild vitality at its heart touches, inspires and endures.
