One of the main draws for visitors is a safari. Large carnivores such as lions, hyenas and cheetahs, as well as the herbivore contingent of elephants, giraffes, camels and buffalo, make the opportunity for a wildlife adventure unparalleled.

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls is found on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, is another huge attraction for tourists in the region. For culture, there are few more vibrant arenas than the Moroccan walled city of Fez, where you can explore the near endless maze of streets and bazaars.

The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is another highlight, where you can watch the migration of millions of Zebra and Wildebeest, all while staying at some of the world's most beautiful lodges. Further south, Cape Town in South Africa is home to spectacular scenery and wildlife, and boasts exceptional wine and food.

Flights from the UK take between 5-10hr depending on the country you're traveling to.
