Description
On this comprehensive trip through eight countries, you will see a variety of landscapes from vast tracts of animal-filled bush, tranquil lakes and rivers, misty rain forests and dazzling beaches. There is a wealth of game parks to explore on the hunt for the 'big five', then there's the magnificent Victoria Falls, and to stare into the soft brown eyes of a gorilla is an experience not to be forgotten. From south to north, this offers the best attractions in east and southern Africa.

*Euro Rates include the Local Payment
