Choosing African Tours

When you are choosing African tours there are many different places you can decide upon.  In fact, Africa has more countries within its borders than any continent on earth.  Following are some ideas for places you might like to see on African tours.

Botswana is a great destination to see wildlife and the Okvango delta.  The Okvango is one of the largest inland deltas on earth, featuring a surface of more than 16,000 square kilometers of scenic beauty.  The delta waters dash onto the sands of the great Kalahari Desert.  Vistas of grasslands, lagoons, palms, and islands make a trip to Botswana among the most splendid of African tours.

South Africa is a great African tour destination that is bordered by oceans on three sides.  South Africa’s interior may be the most diverse on the continent.  From beautiful beaches to tropical splendor, arid deserts, and savannahs teeming with wildlife, South Africa is a favored destination among African tours.

Nambia is a country that straddles two of the world’s greatest deserts; The Kalahari and The Namib, for which the country is named.  Nambia is fast becoming an extremely popular safari destination because of its secluded and isolated lodges.  It is a country that welcomes interaction with its indigenous peoples as much as with its wildlife, a place where visitors can learn an appreciation for cultural heritage as well as scenic vistas.  Nambia is truly a unique experience among African tours.

Zambia is an expansive country, landlocked in south-central Africa.  Most of the country has a balmy, pleasant climate.  The river valleys can be hotter and more humid.  The extreme north end of the country becomes tropical, especially on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, one of the country’s ten large lakes.  Zambia features many of the wildest and most isolated games lands in Africa.  It was here that the concept of the walking safari began.  Zambia is a peaceful and friendly country to visit when enjoying African tours.

Mauritius is a unique experience among African tours, as it is a volcanic island located 560 miles east of Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean.  Mauritius is truly a tropical paradise, featuring beautiful lagoons that flow into luxurious beaches dotted with coconut palms and casuarinas.  Extreme luxury resorts featuring every imaginable amenity and fabulous cuisine line the beaches.  Featuring British, French, Indian, and Asian influence, Mauritius is at the head of tropical African tours.

Comprised of 115 islands, and covering 1.3 million sq. kilometers of land and ocean, the Seychelles is one of the most famous archipelagos in the world.  It is the home to hundreds of rare and exotic life forms and is often referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean.  A trip to the Seychelles is among the most exceptional of African tours.

In this short article we have barely touched upon the possible African destinations you might enjoy.  The continent is as diverse as your imagination and can offer almost any adventure you might seek, from SCUBA diving crystal clear lagoons to safari on the savannahs.
