EXPERIENCES

Africa delivers some incredible beach experiences and combines beautifully with a safari to provide a very unique holiday.

With endless beaches and the warm Indian Ocean, or the remote sandy freshwater shores of the Great Lakes, these coastlines dish-up a wealth of different experiences and accommodation styles to suit a wide range of tastes.

 

From the ultimate in remote island hideaways, surrounded by tropical seas, to historical outposts where arab dhows have plied their trade for eons, to all-inclusive family resorts. It is not just flopping on a beach but much, much more.

Fabulous diving spots… Zanzibar archipelago, Mozambique, Madagascar and even Malawi

Water sport activities to keep the restless active 

Safari add-ons: Kenya & Tanzania combine with their own coast. Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia & Namibia work well with Mozambique and Madagascar and Lake Malawi
