Africa
is the second largest of the continents. Surrounded by the Mediterranean
Sea, in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the Red
Sea and Indian Ocean in the east. The Sahara desert divides the
continent into two unequal parts-North Africa, an early area of
civilization, in fairly close proximity to Europe and Asia, and
south of the Sahara Desert, which remained relatively isolated
from the rest of the world until the 18th and 19th centuries when
it began to colonized by Europeans. The continent now comprises
many diverse, independent nations. The African continent comprises
mostly high plateaus which drop steeply to narrow coastal plains
and leave it short of coastline and also of deep inlets for harbors.
We have places available in:the following countries
Egypt
Egypt is the oldest tourist destination on earth. Ancient Greeks
and Romans started the trend, coming to goggle at the cyclopean
scale of the Pyramids and the Colossi of Thebes. At the onset
of colonial times, Napoleon and the British in turn looted Egypt's
treasures to fill their national museums, sparking off a trickle
of Grand Tourists that eventually became a flood of travelers,
packaged for their Nile cruises and Egyptological lectures by
the enterprising Thomas Cook.
Morocco
For Westerners, Morocco holds an immediate and enduring fascination.
Though just an hour's ride on the ferry from Spain, it seems at
once very far from Europe, with a culture – Islamic and
deeply traditional – that is almost wholly unfamiliar. Throughout
the country, despite the years of French and Spanish colonial
rule and the presence of modern and cosmopolitan cities like Rabat
and Casablanca, a more distant past constantly makes its presence
felt. Fes, perhaps the most beautiful of all Arab cities, maintains
a life still rooted in medieval times, when a Moroccan empire
stretched from Senegal to northern Spain, while in the mountains
of the Atlas and the Rif, it's still possible to draw up tribal
maps of the Berber population. As a backdrop to all this, the
country's physical make-up is also extraordinary: from a Mediterranean
coast, through four maintain ranges, to the empty sand and scrub
of the Sahara.
South Africa
WESTERN CAPE
Sir Francis Drake described it as "the fairest Cape in all
the circumference of the World." Situated at the foot of
Table Mountain, Cape Town is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful
cities in the world, offering outstanding interest and variety
to the visitor. Blending the old with the new, it has a relaxed,
almost continental atmosphere that will charm even the most sophisticated
jet-setter.
EASTERN CAPE
Thetsitsikamma Forest runs into the Eastern Cape, a province
steeped in history as well as blessed with beautiful beaches and
rugged mountain scenery. This is the birthplace of President Nelson
Mandela and is the melting pot of three cultures, Xhosa, British
and Afrikaner. It is here that battles took place between the
early English settlers and the Xhosa.
NORTHERN CAPE
The Rugged Regions of the Northern Cape appeal to those seeking
broad horizons and peace and quiet. It is an area of outstanding
natural beauty and contains the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park,
set in the rolling dunes of the Kalahari Desert. The park is home
to the magnificent gemsbok antelope, as well as the delicate springbok
and the Kalahari lion, with its distinctive black mane. To the
south is the Augrabies Falls National Park, where the river plunges
nearly 200 feet into a narrow ravine.
Tunisia
Tunisia's list of visitor attractions would do justice to a country
twice its size. From the stone-age settlements near the oasis
at Kebili to the space-age sets of Star Wars (parts of which were
filmed at Matmata), its lush-to-lunar landscapes have seen more
action than the New World nations combined. Spend a few days here
and you'll agree: daydreaming at the famous Roman ruins of Carthage
and El-Jem is almost as good as stepping into Virgil's Aeneid
and knocking one back with Dido, while a day's dawdling on the
north coast's beaches will leave you wondering why Hannibal ever
left.
