A short guide about Family travel to Africa

Civilization may have developed along the banks of the River Nile, but Africa’s diversity can sustain any traveller. Experience the magic of the animal kingdom, be captivated by the culture of the Masai Mara, or visit Namibia to drink German beer in the African sun, while the islands of Zanzibar and Madagascar offer rejuvenating tours after a safari. So while you’re here - take a little look at Tourabout’s catalogue of Africa’s natural beauty for every season and budget.

Interested in touring the north of Africa? Visit fascinating Morocco; overflowing with snake charmers and storytellers. Cross the enormous Sahara Desert, bordered by The Mediterranean Sea into glorious Egypt, an archaeological legacy to the Greeks, Romans and the Early Christians. Then there is the natural beauty of Ethiopia, with its ancient Christian civilization and spectacular mountain scenery.

Tour the east coast of Africa, as you trek the thick jungles and visit game parks while out on safari. Lake Victoria and Lake Naivasha belong to Kenya and sustain the National Parks and Reserves packed full of the exclusive Big Five. Tanzania, home of the leopard offers exotic jungles and lakes and the Serengeti’s endless plains are home to the lion and the wildebeest migration.

Central Africa offers Rwanda ‘the land of a thousand of hills’ and Uganda the ‘Pearl of Africa’, these countries are popular again with gorilla treks and Zambia and Zimbabwe support one of Africa's largest elephant populations.

Johannesburg city is known as the ‘place of Gold’ and the gateway to South Africa. So visiting Botswana and the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park could not be any easier, and a tour to the Okavango Delta’s huge wetland is one of the most prolific wildlife areas in Africa.
