Africa
The world’s second-largest continent, Africa is a very big place. With 54 officially recognised countries, and two additional disputed ones, it’s also extremely diverse.
Here you’ll find stunning landscapes, amazing wildlife, hugely varied cultures, and warm, welcoming people. Steamy jungles, burning deserts, vast savannahs, and some of the best beaches in the world.
There are endless opportunities for adventure.
Travelling in Africa is a truly unique experience. It’s a place that lingers in your memory long after you leave.
