Ask any traveler what one country still fascinates and Africa always comes to mind. Usually it’s a safari combined with some cultural activity, possibly a nice beach to relax on after the trip. Many just want to see Africa, and are not quite sure where they want to go.

And then you will come across others who have suffer from a perception problem; that Africa is not safe, or too expensive, or too far. We’ve heard them all.

So why haven’t you visited Africa?

So what does Africa have to offer?  Here is a small sample of what the African landscape has to offer:

·  Hot desserts like the Kalahari Desert, which covers much of Botswana, parts of Namibia and South Africa.

· Sprawling Savannah grasslands as those in the Serengeti.  The Serengeti Plains are a grass savanna that has very dry but nutrient-rich volcanic sand. Around 2 million large plant-eating mammals live in the savanna.

· Majestic rivers such as The Zambezi River, River Nile and the Congo River each offering unique experiences like kayaking, cruising, fishing and white water rafting to name a few.

·  Majestic Waterfalls and Victoria Falls comes to mind first. South Africa has many including Augrabies Falls of the mighty Orange River.

· Pristine beaches – there are too many to list but the some favorites are Zanzibar, Seychelles, Lamu in Kenya, Mauritius, and South Africa.

· How about Rwanda, which offers you a trek into the Volcanoes National Park to see the rare Mountain Gorillas.

·  Last but not the least the famous Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and others such as Mt. Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda to name a few.

Africa has it all, history, culture, wildlife, beaches, mountains and more. Savvy travellers are looking for more custom itineraries, either as small groups, families or even individual travel as they want Africa to be an ultimate journey. They want it to be special and full of personal memories, and not the cookie-cutter type of tours. And for this reason, a lot of them are looking for agents who are specialized in African travel, those who can customize their trips to their individual taste.
