What to know before you go

COUNTRIES ON TOUR
Our Africa tours take travelers to Kenya, Egypt, Namibia, and beyond, spanning the vastness of the Sahara, the fertile banks of the Nile, and the plains of the Maasai Mara. You can visit 11 of Africa’s 54 nations with us, including our latest addition—Rwanda.

MAJOR CITIES
Cape Town, Cairo, and Marrakech stand out as cultural hubs where food, music, heritage, and history dance in perfect harmony. Meet them and some new-to-you favorites like Accra, Ghana’s beachfront capital, and Kigali, Rwanda’s creative foodie haven.

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
Food is all about connection and community, whether you’re sharing laughs over jollof rice in Ghana or a South African braai. Many African cultures emphasize generosity and kindness toward guests, so expect a warm welcome.

WHAT TO GO FOR
Lions, elephants, and rhinos, oh my! The enigmatic Great Sphinx. The roar of Victoria Falls. The swirl of spices in a Moroccan souk. There’s an Africa for everything your heart desires on tour.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Float high above the Maasai Mara in Kenya on a hot-air balloon, ride the Nile’s gentle current on a felucca, or take a drum lesson in Ghana. Our tours open the door for you to connect to the places and people you meet in new and thrilling ways.
