AFRICA: A CONTINENT OF CONTRASTS

SCANTO DISCOVER MORE OF AFRICA

KENYA AND MADAGASCAR

SOUTH AFRICA From the vibrant waterfront city of Cape Town to vivid and edgy Johannesburg . From lush winelands to the dense bush of the Lowveld , South Africa is a country that offers a vast range of things to do, all in one or more trips. Why not go beyond the Garden Route ? Head north to Kruger National Park for exceptional wildlife viewing. Visit the battlefields of KZN, the wilderness of the Drakensberg , and the Western Cape wildflowers. Take the whole family to the Madikwe Game Reserve for a safari and the Waterberg for unbelievable scenery.

Regular flights between Nairobi and Antananarivo make adding Africa’s largest island to a safari in the Masai Mara as simple as mixing Sri Lanka and the Maldives or New York and Niagara Falls. After following magnificent mammals and powerful predators on the Kenyan plains, you’ll see leaping lemurs and unique creatures in Madagascar’s rocky rainforests as well as whale sharks and humpbacks in the clear waters of Nosy Be .

MOZAMBIQUE, KRUGER, AND VICTORIA FALLS

Not all these destinations are strictly East Africa, but they’re close enough. South Africa’s famous Kruger Park is nearer to Maputo than Johannesburg. This means Mozambique’s diverse wilderness and stunning coast are easy to combine with a luxury South African safari . Then, it’s just a short flight to the mesmerising Victoria Falls for a bucket list experience on the Zambezi River .

Holidays to Africa are an absolute joy . And one reason why is how easy it is to create your perfect combination of experiences . Everyone’s combo holiday will differ, here are some of our favourites to inspire your imagination . EAST AFRICA

Take a classic wildlife experience to the next level when you combine a Big Five safari on the Serengeti savanna with a guided trek to meet gorillas and chimpanzees in misty Uganda. These contrasting and unforgettable animal encounters showcase the incredible diversity of African nature. With Zanzibar just a short hop away, adding a beach stay is easy too. TANZANIA AND UGANDA

These combo adventures are just the start of what’s possible in East Africa, and we haven’t even mentioned Rwanda , where volcano-side gorilla trekking and Big Five game reserves sit beside Africa’s largest lake, all tucked between Uganda and Tanzania.
