As continents go, Africa wins the prize for the most iconic images.
Sun-scorched savannahs, clouds of pink flamingoes, lolloping lion cubs, streams of migrating wildebeest; no continent does natural history quite like Africa.
Home to the 'Big Five', this is safari territory, with game parks a go-go and everything from lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras and cheetahs to rare mountain gorillas and a teeming birdlife all setting up shop here. But Africa’s no one-trick pony, beyond the beauty of its landscapes lies a continent rich with stories of colonialism and slavery, the rise and fall of empires, powerful religions, apartheid and independence.
Sit back and take in the intoxicating beauty of Kenya’s Masai Mara on a safari holiday. Dive the depths of Egypt’s Red Sea and discover the breathtaking blue planet.
