Africa - The World's Great Wilderness
Long known as the 'Dark Continent' for its mysterious uncharted expanses, Africa is still a land largely untouched by the hand of man. Wildlife roam, as nature intended. Vast deserts, forests, and savannas stretch across the continent. For the greatest natural spectacle on Earth, Africa is hard to beat.
With the world's most prolific concentration of wildlife species, the remote and spectacularly unspoiled African heartland is the place to get up close with elephants, lions, and giraffes. The scope of nature can be breathtaking, and every day in Africa can bring new surprises experiences.
The people of Africa are no less fascinating, particularly in remote tribal areas where the modern age has had limited impact. Ancient cultures and traditional hospitality combine to make Africa a great place to mix with the locals.

Africa is also an adventure-packed destination, where one day you could be taking a jeep game safari in Tanzania, and the next you could be micro-light flying in Zimbabwe, snorkeling the clear waters of Zanzibar or even quad biking in the Namib Desert. Africa is a continent of such diversity that the visitor will find it to be arguably one of the best life experiences they will ever have.
