Affordable Nature Tour of Africa
This low-cost small group tour ticks off eight countries en route from Cape Town to the Serengeti. Head on wildlife safari drives and walks, natural wonder adventures and spend time with locals. This 40-day trip will have you marveling at the world’s highest sand dunes, floating through the Okavango in a dugout “mokoro” canoe, and meeting the San Bushmen in the blazing Kalahari Desert. You’ll soak up vibrant colours, culture, and scenery from the southern tip of Africa up to Kenya. Take the road less travelled and come away with jaw-dropping photos and a deeper understanding of this incredible corner of the globe.
