The bulk of the African continent is sub-Saharan, that is below the reach of the great Sahara Desert. Its exact boundary is ill-defined but it is generally thought to encompass forty-eight mainland countries and four Indian Ocean islands - Madagascar, The Comoros, Mauritius, and the Seychelles – and two Atlantic Ocean islands - Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe. 

To holiday here is to dream of seeing the mighty Victoria Falls in Zambia, the gorillas in Rwanda, the dune seas of Namibia, the pristine coral reef of Mozambique, the great migration in Tanzania, the proud Masaai in Kenya, and the watery world of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. It is a continent where everything is possible, from sampling bush tucker with the Kalahari Bushman to tasting fresh lobster in exotic Zanzibar, and diving with sharks in South Africa. Opportunities for adventure, exploration, discovery, relaxation and exhilaration abound. Click on the destinations below to reveal the amazing holidays they hold.
