Africa

Africa is the birthplace of the human species, and when you step off of the airplane for the first time, it feels like a homecoming. This long association with humans translates into an abundance of wildlife that is better adapted to survival in our presence. As a result, African parks and protected areas have arguably the best wildlife viewing on the planet. Nowhere else is it this easy to spend an afternoon with wild megafauna like elephants or lions. However, Africa isn’t all about wildlife. The continent boasts some of the best beaches in the world, as well as numerous exciting cultural and culinary activities.

Countries in Africa:
Botswana / Congo / Ethiopia / Kenya / Malawi / Morocco / Namibia / Oceanic Islands / Rwanda / South Africa / Tanzania / Uganda / Zambia / Zimbabwe
