Africa

“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.”
– Beryl Markham

Africa is a big continent with big bucket list trips. It holds amazing adventure destinations, including a Nile River cruise, a wildlife Safari, visiting Cape Town, and climbing Kilimanjaro.We are so grateful to have completed a cruise down the Nile in Egypt, a fabulous trip. We booked this through Memphis Tours, a highly rated tour company that offers a variety of trips in Africa.

For focused travel tips by destination, view our Travel Tips, ‘quick bites’ of key information, suggestions, and a few key phrases of the local language to know. These are our highlights of what we use when planning a trip. Travel planning can be overwhelming, not knowing exactly what to expect, and wondering what you’ve forgotten. Not to mention the time that goes into researching travel details, on top of your normal busy life. We love travel, and love to help others to travel with confidence and enthusiasm.
