Zanzibar, Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater, Mt Kilimanjaro and the Masai Mara – discover East Africa’s iconic destinations.  Our tour starts in Tanzania’s coastal centre, Dar es Salaam from where we travel to the nearby “Spice Island” of Zanzibar. Fringed by coral reefs, Zanzibar’s cultural heart is Stone Town, a labyrinth of grand 19^th century houses, mosques and bustling bazaars.

We then journey to the Tanzanian national park of Arusha (home to 400 bird species). Nearby we take in the view of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (5892m) and the vastness of the Ngorongoro Crater east of the massive Serengeti National Park. From Nairobi, Kenya we travel to the lands of the Masai Mara.

The gently undulating grasslands ensure easy sightings of the abundant animal populations. We aim to witness a once in a lifetime event, the great migration of zebras, gazelles and wildebeest (between July and November). Passing through the tea plantation region of Sotik, we search for crocodiles and hippos on Lake Baringo. Nearby Lake Bogoria has Africa’s largest concentration of hot springs and geysers. From here we travel to Samburu National Reserve, home to lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffe and zebra.

Take the trip of a lifetime and experience a gem of West Africa - Namibia’s canyons, deserts and game parks. Our tour begins in the Namibian capital of Windhoek, a kaleidoscope of architectural styles, cultures and traditions.

For sheer scale, we cannot miss the majestic Fish River Canyon (second largest in the world). Further north, Namib Naukluft Park protects some of the world’s oldest deserts and highest dunes.  Explore the overwhelming beauty of the Sossusvlei dunes, nearby canyons and the rare plants of the Welwitschia Plains.

On the west coast, the oasis town of Swakopmund is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the ancient Namib Desert. In the Damaraland region, ancient water courses, savannah, open plains and massive granite formations are home to desert elephant, black rhino, ostrich and springbok. A must-see on any Namibia visit, Etosha National Park has a fauna diversity that few parks can match. We continue east into the narrow Caprivi Strip to spot crocodiles, elephants, hippos, buffalo and a plethora of bird life.

A final highlight will be visiting spectacular Victoria Falls before our journey ends in Maun, in northern Botswana.

Morocco has long been the inspiration for adventurers with its ancient culture, diverse landscapes and exotic cuisine. Marrakech, the starting point for our tour, has waylaid desert caravans since the 11th century, as visitors succumb to the charms of Gnaoua music and hammams (traditional Moroccan spas).

A highlight of the tour is three nights at Kasbah du Toubkal. Beneath the highest peak in North Africa, the kasbah is perched on an outcrop above the village of Imlil. Enjoy day hikes in the High Atlas and experience the local Berber culture on village and oasis valley walks.

In the high Atlas plateau we stay in Ouarzazate, an area which has featured in many international movies over the last 50 years. Near the oasis town of Tineghir, we walk through Todra Gorge (10m wide and 300m deep in places) then Dades Gorge, known as Morocco’s Grand Canyon. From Erfoud we travel to a desert village to witness sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes, the highest in Morocco.

To the south near Azrou, short walks in the Middle Atlas Mountains feature giant oak, cork and cedar forests (complete with resident monkeys).  In Fez, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, the walled medina quarter is the world’s largest contiguous car free medieval city. The tour ends in Casablanca.
