Africa Tours & Trips

Getting up close with wildlife and exploring vast wilderness areas really define East Africa's most memorable experiences. Nothing quite matches spending time with mountain gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - our travelers consistently rank these intimate encounters at the top of their lifetime memories. The sprawling savannas of the Serengeti, ancient Ngorongoro Crater basin and Masai Mara plains deliver remarkable wildlife viewing, with the Mara offering wonderful chances to also spend time learning from local Maasai communities. One of nature's most impressive displays unfolds as millions of wildebeest, zebras and other grazers move between these parks during migration. July through October typically offers prime migration viewing between Tanzania and Kenya, though each season brings its own special wildlife experiences. Many guests particularly enjoy visiting during March-May or November when the parks are quieter - you'll still see plenty of animals while enjoying better rates and more private safari moments.

The real magic of North Africa comes alive through its ancient sites and desert landscapes. Our guests keep telling us about their Sahara experiences - there's something special about riding camels over massive dunes then sleeping in Berber camps while the stars put on a show above. Egypt's Giza Pyramids and Abu Simbel temples still make people stop in their tracks, and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor lets you walk right through pharaonic history. Up in Morocco's Rif Mountains, travelers often find themselves lost in the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen. For a gentler pace, the intimate Dahabiya boats on the Nile mix easy living with cultural visits. And when you're ready to head east, Jordan's ancient city of Petra and a float in the Dead Sea round out the region's must-see spots.

Tanzania's safaris and mountains create some of Africa's most incredible travel moments. Our clients regularly tell stories about getting close to lions, elephants and also giraffes across the vast Serengeti plains. The Ngorongoro Crater is a special place where you can spot all of the Big Five animals in just one day. For those ready to push themselves, climbing Kilimanjaro is quite an undertaking - many travelers tell us that watching dawn break from the peak became one of their life's defining experiences. The local guides really make these trips special; they're experts at finding animals and love sharing their deep knowledge about Tanzania's cultures and landscapes. The best wildlife viewing happens in the dry season from June to October when the Great Migration is moving through, though December to March gives you a chance to see thousands of wildebeest calves being born in the southern Serengeti.

Morocco's cycling tours blend physical challenge with authentic cultural discovery in a way that really connects with TourRadar customers. The routes are thoughtfully planned to be demanding yet doable, taking riders through varied landscapes from desert paths to mountain tracks. What makes these trips special are guides like Said and Faisl, who share deep local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm that elevates every day on the bike. Our travelers consistently tell us about the fantastic Moroccan food they discover along the way, and how their cycling groups become tight-knit - many say they feel like family by the time they head home.

Taking to the water adds something special to wildlife viewing, especially on Chobe River where elephants come right to the water's edge to drink and play. Our customers say these quiet river safaris give them amazing close-up views of hippos, crocs and countless birds. The light gets really beautiful during afternoon and sunset cruises while you drift past animals at the riverbank. Some trips include mokoro canoe rides in the Okavango Delta where local guides pole you silently through narrow waterways full of wildlife.
