Africa has long enchanted the world with its stunning scenery, ancient civilizations, and majestic wildlife. At almost every turn, one finds spectacular animals and inspiring landscapes, ranging from forest covered volcanic peaks to dusty savannas that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Africa’s regions brim with a wealth of unforgettable sights, sounds, and experiences. Populations of elephants, antelope, lions, hippos, and cheetah abound, and fascinating cultures live much as they have for centuries. This is your chance to experience the world’s most intriguing continent.
World-renowned national parks, exotic cultures, and superb wildlife are only the beginning of what makes Africa a truly exceptional destination.
Combine one or more of our amazing African programs for the ultimate African summer! If you would like to inquire about any of our African programs please email Tanya Rinaldi at tanya@rusticpathways.com.
