Central & West Africa
Central Africa is home to stunning landscapes and inhabited by an astonishing diversity of peoples, this is the perfect destination to explore the expanse of rich culture and deep tradition found on this beautiful continent. Traveling Central Africa is a balancing act – a wonderful mix of wildlife, culture, food, nature and a past best told by the region’s own storytellers. Festivals are all-singing, all-dancing and clothes shops and markets are draped in a rainbow of wax print cloth. Beyond, there are wild beaches, ancient rainforest and undulating, sun-baked dunes. Central Africa properties and itineraries covers a vast vibrant region of Africa from Chad in the north to Angola in the south, with Gabon and the island nation of Sao Tome & Principe in between to explore.
West Africa travel offers rich cultural immersion through iconic regional itineraries like Ghana, Togo, and Benin, or Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Planning a trip requires navigating distinct dry-season timing, regional entry visas, and vibrant local traditions. This is where you’ll find a mosaic of people speaking hundreds of tribal languages, slave forts from a dark colonial past and stirring landscapes that encompass the Sahara Desert. Venture into jungle-draped mountains and dense rainforest or unwind on sun-baked beaches.
Immense cultural diversity and tradition is embedded in much of daily life. We offer small West Africa tours into the heart of this fascinating region, including guided trips to Senegal, The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, and Ivory Coast.
