Plus, we handpick the very best experiences and give you a local English-speaking guide, so you can be sure you’re not missing out. Convinced?

1. Highlights of South Africa

Johannesburg is your starting point on this action-packed 14-night tour, and it’s your springboard to Pretoria – one of South Africa’s three capital cities. You’ll take in the Union Buildings while you’re here, which are perched on the city’s highest point, home to the country’s president, and wrapped in leafy gardens. From here you’ll head past lakes, waterfalls, mountains and the Blyde River Canyon – one of the world’s biggest – en route to Hazyview. The big draw here is Kruger National Park, where you’ll set off on a full-day safari in search of lions, leopards and elephants. The vast Mkuze Game Reserve is also on the agenda during this tour, as is Hluhluwe Game Reserve – South Africa’s oldest. Eyes peeled for the indigenous rhino population here. An internal flight gets you to South Africa’s south-east coast for the next leg of your trip, which includes a free day to relax on one of Knysna’s first-rate beaches. Take it as a chance to recharge before ostrich-spotting in Oudtshoorn, wine tasting in the Western Cape, and exploring the best bits of Cape Town.

2. Tracks of the Nomads

You’ll kick off this tour with a trip to Morocco’s most famous city – Marrakech. Tick off a selection of sights including the Menara Gardens, Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fna. After a well-earned sleep in your hotel, you’ll hop in a 4x4 for a journey through the Atlas Mountains. Stop off at the Telouet Kasbah and the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou – the latter’s been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you might recognise it from some of your favourite TV shows. 

Later in the tour you'll head to Tamegroute to take a look at its ancient library, and set off on a road trip along Morocco’s longest river – the scenery’s worth getting your camera out for. Then it’s back to Marrakech where you’ll have the chance to revisit your favourite spots or see anything you missed last time.

3. Imperial Cities of Morocco

Fez, Marrakech, Meknes, and Rabat have all been Morocco’s capital at one point in time – and you’ll get a first-hand look at what made each city worthy of the title on this seven-night tour. Marrakech is first up, and you’ll have plenty of time to explore before making tracks for Casablanca – AKA Morocco’s biggest city. The Hassan II Great Mosque and Mohammed V square are among the big-hitters here. Morocco’s capital, Rabat, comes next, and you’ll have a chance to tiptoe through the UNESCO-ranked Roman ruins of Volubilis and pore over ancient relics at the Dar El Jamai Museum. Fez completes the line-up, and you’ll stop off at the bustling Medina as well as taking part in an authentic tea ceremony with the locals. The great news is you can combine both of our tours in Morocco with a stay. That means you can base yourself in Marrakech – either at one of our hotels just outside the city or a traditional riad right in the heart of things – or head to Agadir for a beach break.

4. Highlights of Kenya

This 12-day tour fits in a packed schedule of five game drives and finishes with a relaxing three-night stay at a beachfront hotel. Everything starts in Nairobi, your springboard to the Masai Mara – one of the best places on the planet to go wildlife-spotting. And you’ll set off on three game drives while you’re here to have the best chance of seeing the reserve’s most famous residents, from lions and leopards to hippos and flamingos on Lake Naivasha. On day five you’ll head to Amboseli to spot elephants, with incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. And day six is all about Mzima Springs – where underwater viewing holes give you a closer look at hippos and crocodiles. The highlight of day seven is a stay at Salt Lick Safari Lodge, which is raised on stilts overlooking a waterhole in the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. And from day eight onwards it’s all about relaxing at your beachfront hotel in Diani Beach – you’ll need it after such an action-packed itinerary.

5. A Taste of Kenya Safari

Set off on six safari drives in the space of 11 days on this Kenya tour for nature lovers. It starts with a day in Mombasa to get your bearings, so you’ve got time to explore the Old Town and relax on the sand at Diani Beach. From day three onwards it’s all about the game drives, starting with Tsavo East National Park – where zebras and Masai giraffes roam wild. Amboseli National Park is up next, and most famous for its herds of elephants. A game drive here is made all the more special by Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, so expect some pretty incredible photos today. On day five the focus shifts to Taita Hills, and there’s an evening game drive scheduled so you can see nocturnal animals after dark. Like our Highlights of Kenya tour, this itinerary includes a night at Salt Lick Safari Lodge – you’ll soon see why it’s one of the most-photographed lodges in the world. There’s one more game drive planned before you make tracks for your hotel in Diani Beach – where all you need to do is relax and reflect on an incredible trip.

6. Enchanting Tunisia

This seven-night group tour covers an impressive amount of ground in just one week, and it’s a great chance to go under the skin of Tunisia’s culture, both old and new. On day two, for example, you’ll see ancient Roman mosaics at Bardo National Museum, then visit a modern zero-waste project in La Marsa – where you’ll have a chance to try upcycling for yourself. There’s more in the way of history at Dougga, one of Tunisia’s best-preserved ancient cities, and you can shop for souvenirs in the storied souks of Kairouan’s medina. On day five the focus shifts to Tunisia’s landscape, with a visit to the Lagoon of the Land of Palms – a massive salt lake in the Sahara Desert that changes colour at different times of the year. And there’s time to visit the underground houses in the village or Matmata as well as the incredible ancient cities of Sfax and El Djem before you wave goodbye to Tunisia and head home.
