Africa is the second-largest continent in the world in both area and population. It is an almost entirely isolated landmass with only a small land bridge in the northeast, connecting the African Mainland with Western Asia. 48 countries share the area of mainland Africa, plus six island nations are considered to be part of the continent.
Tourism is an important economic sector for many countries in Africa. There are many countries that benefit heavily from tourism like Uganda, Algeria, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, Tanzania and Island Nations such as Reunion Island, Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar. The touristic particularity of Africa lies in the wide variety of points of interest, diversity and multitudes of landscapes as well as the rich cultural heritage. From the magnificent tropical coast of Central Africa to lush rainforests, the undulating dunes of the Namib Desert, to Serengeti’s signature prairie to rugged mountains, green-tinged moorlands and deep gorges that mark the Great Rift Valley’s inland traverse –wherever you find yourself on this gorgeous continent on your Africa tour package, you won’t be disappointed.

The best time to visit Africa moves from the south to east to north, depending on the wildlife and rainfall. The dry winter between May to October is the best time for game viewing in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. To catch East Africa’s Great Migration, traveling between June-early September is the best. Jan-Feb and June-Sept are the best to book your South Africa tour.
Wildlife safaris, trekking, volcanoes and adventure sports are things that should be on your bucket list. Africa is home to the world’s largest desert, its longest river, its hottest temperatures, and hundreds of dialects and cultures spread among a billion people. But as mind-boggling as it seems at first, you’ll be amazed how intimate it feels once you get to know it. This is adventure’s last great frontier.
