Top 5 Africa Tour Highlights

1. Trekking Kilimanjaro
Trekking Kilimanjaro is a challenging yet rewarding adventure that takes you to the roof of Africa. As Africa’s tallest peak, standing at 19,341 feet above northeast Tanzania, Kilimanjaro offers breathtaking views of diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts. The journey to the summit involves navigating through five distinct climate zones, each with its own unique flora and fauna. With experienced guides leading the way, trekkers experience a sense of accomplishment and awe as they reach the iconic Uhuru Peak, standing atop the continent and witnessing the sunrise over the vast expanse of the African plains below.

2. Victoria Falls
One of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders, Victoria Falls plunges over 300 feet into the Zambezi Gorge, creating a mesmerizing display of mist and thundering water. Known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke That Thunders,” the falls captivate visitors with their sheer power and beauty. Whether you view the falls from Zimbabwe or Zambia, witnessing Victoria Falls is an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impression.

3. The Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt, is an ancient burial ground for pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom period. Carved into the desert rock, the valley is home to over 60 elaborately decorated tombs, including that of the famous King Tutankhamun. These tombs hold priceless treasures and offer a glimpse into the beliefs and rituals of ancient Egyptian civilization.

4. The Great Migration
The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events, showcasing the annual journey of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores across the plains of East Africa. Starting in the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania, the herds embark on a perilous trek northward in search of greener pastures and water sources, often crossing crocodile-infested rivers such as the Mara River in Kenya. As the seasons change and rains come and go, the animals navigate vast distances, facing predators and natural obstacles along the way. Witnessing this mass movement of wildlife on Africa tours in the Masai Mara and the Serengeti between the months of July and October.

5. The Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, spanning over 5 million square miles across North Africa. Its vast expanse of sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and barren plains create a landscape of unparalleled beauty and harshness. Despite its arid conditions, the Sahara is home to a variety of life, including desert-adapted plants, insects, and nomadic tribes who have thrived in this environment for centuries. Visitors to the Sahara can experience the tranquility of its endless horizons, witness breathtaking sunsets over the dunes, and immerse themselves in the timeless traditions of its inhabitants.
