Longer Holidays and Freedom to Explore Africa

Longer holidays mean more freedom to explore Africa, discovering beaches and bush destinations that change your life.  Cape Town has it all, but Cape Town is just the beginning, the southern tip of Africa and the start of something huge. From South Africa to Namibia, Botswana to Zimbabwe, Zambia to Kenya, Tanzania to Malawi, Mozambique to Zanzibar, and Rwanda to Uganda, the stark reality of wild Africa hits home. See the biggest red dunes on the continent, massive mountain gorillas in lush forests, whales migrating, lions in Kruger, the wildebeest migration in Kenya, and the spicy culture of Zanzibar.  We offer the best beach-to-bush combo safaris in Africa!

Start Longer Holidays in Award-Winning Cape Town

Ditch the conventional package holiday and embrace tailor-made adventures across Africa. Longer holidays create flexibility, allowing travelers to customize their itineraries with options like personalized routes, special extra destinations, preferred luxury or rustic accommodations, and convenient flight selections. Whether opting for a two-week getaway or a longer 4-week expedition, travelers can curate their African experience to their liking.

Extended Bush-Beach Holidays in Africa

While Cape Town serves as a captivating starting point in South Africa, travelers can also set off on safaris and expeditions from Durban and Johannesburg. Whatever you decide for an extended bush-beach holiday in Africa, make sure you delve deeper into Africa’s wonders. 

Extended bush-beach holidays to fewer destinations ensure quality time in one place at a time – from Botswana to Rwanda, shorter itineraries promise immersive experiences that showcase Africa’s best wildlife and cultures. Paddle a mokoro up a wetland channel, cruise the Chobe River on a boat, track gorillas in their mountain jungles, witness the Great Migration from a grassland camp, or lounge on idyllic Mozambican beaches. Switch effortlessly between thrilling safaris and serene coastal retreats.

Bush-Beach Safaris in Africa

Mozambique is a hidden gem that offers visitors a mix of culture, history, and natural beauty. Make more time to explore the country’s long coastline, one of its main attractions where you can swim and sunbathe, snorkel and dive, fish and island-hop. Mozambique was a Portuguese colony for over four centuries, so take time to see its colonial heritage, evident in the architecture and culture of its cities. It’s worth exploring Maptuo’s vibrant markets, sampling local cuisine, and taking in the city’s vibrant nightlife. So, stay for longer!
