Southern & South Africa:
Home to the Kaapval craton and containing some of the world’s richest mineral deposits, southern Africa's topography and history are formed by it's gold, diamonds and platinum. Kruger National Park and the adjoining private reserves of Greater Kruger National Park form one of Africa's finest wildlife areas, offering superb viewing opportunities all year round. In one of the first national parks to be established in Africa, the custodians of Kruger faced tragedy, triumph and hardship, as they have strived to protect a pristine wilderness region that is sanctuary to over 700 species of mammals, reptiles and birds.
Namibia is one of the great surprises of southern Africa, boasting some of the most spectacular and breathtaking desert scenery on earth. The great sand dunes of the Namib Desert, looming over 300 metres above the desert floor, are a sight never to be forgotten.
Victoria Falls is certainly Zimbabwe's most celebrated spectacle. Measuring some 1.7 kilometres in width and with a drop of around 105 metres, this impressive rush of water sends a huge plume of spray into the sky, visible for kilometres and providing a stunning spectacle not to be missed.

Timbuktu – one word can conjure up memories from your childhood. For many, the word Timbuktu is used when trying to describe the most remote, distant part of the world. Few people know that Timbuktu is an actual city, located in Mali on the southern fringes of the Sahara Desert. Did you know that it wasn't until the 20th century that a European or American ever made it back from Timbuktu because Timbuktu is so remote, so desolate and incredibly difficult to get to?

East Africa:
This is where humanity got its start and civilizations first flourished. Rwanda is the kind of astonishing country that, once visited, will never be erased from your hearts and your memory. Also known as the Land of 10,000 Hills, this beautiful, but tiny and landlocked country is also a paradox. There are no words that can accurately describe the feeling at the point in time when humans comes face to face with the gorillas. Words cannot describe such an overwhelming experience.
After you've experienced East Africa your life will never be the same. In Kenya you can choose to explore the Masai Mara and Samburu National Reserves as well as visit the alkaline Lake Nakuru. Kenya's game reserves are among the best in the world, with large quantities of animal inhabiting vast expanses of land.

The thrill of reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro gives one an unsurpassed sense of achievement.
