Africa Tours
Africa, home to so many contrasting and magnificent landscapes, vibrant cities and an unparalleled collection of wildlife, offers a truly unique holiday experience.
Africa is a continent of stunning and diverse scenery. From breathtaking Victoria Falls to the spectacular Savannahs of Kruger National Park… the stunning coastal scenery of the Garden Route to Majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya... this land is full of remarkable landscapes.
South Africa & Zambia
Sitting at the very bottom of Africa, Cape Town has an idyllic setting with Table Mountain as a backdrop. With its distinct European feel and strong African influences, Cape Town serves up some of Arica’s most amazing food. Stretching on from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, the Garden Route is home to South Africa’s wine growing region along with an abundance of beautiful scenery and numerous beaches. South Africa’s largest game reserve, Kruger National Park is great for seeing “The Big Five” on a stay at one of its luxury private lodges. A short flight from Johannesburg is where you will find Zambia’s magnificent Victoria Falls. See the awe inspiring falls during your sunset cruise down the Zambezi River and visit a local tribal village.Kenya
With its numerous national parks, Kenya has no shortage of opportunities to take a fantastic game drive. These include the Masai Mara, where at certain times of the year it is possible to see the amazing migration of the zebra and wildebeest. Kenya’s other national parks include Amboseli with an abundance of wildlife and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Lake Naivasha where you can find the world’s only tree climbing lions and Samburu which is home to many elephants.
Botswana
One of the world’s most sparsely populated countries and one of Africa’s best kept secrets, the Republic of Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, and is also home to the world’s largest inland delta, a large saltpan and unimaginable vastness.Tanzania
Perched on the edge of Africa is Tanzania. From the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro to the sun-kissed beaches of Zanzibar, Tanzania is a true land of contrasts. It has a rich tapestry of cultures from safaris in its national parks to the sunrise over the world famous Ngorongoro Crater.Zambia
Zambia is filled with abundant wildlife, massive lakes and open spaces. It is where British colonial history and traditional village life meet and where you can view the silhouette of a hippo against a fiery Zambezi River sunset. Just as striking are the colourful traditional ceremonies whilst the showstopper is that spectacular curtain of water, Victoria Falls.
Scenic Touring Options
Scenic Tours has been taking travelers to Africa for over ten years and our well established holiday range has been fine-tuned to be more comprehensive than ever. We are featuring two fully escorted tours, the first is our South Africa and the Garden Route tour which also offers a trip to Livingstone and Victoria Falls in Zambia. The second explores the stunning eastern part of Africa with our Victoria Falls & Kenya Discovery tour and its many national parks.How do I receive my tickets for internal flights?
You will receive your air tickets for all your internal flights once on tour.
What time can I check in to my hotels?
If your flight arrives before noon (usually 15.00 is check-in time) at the city where your tour starts, the hotel may not have your room available until mid-afternoon. We do our best to prevent this from happening; however in some circumstances it is unavoidable. Some people use this time to explore the neighbourhood, shop or relax in the hotel public areas. On arrival at your hotel, please check to see if your Tour Director has already posted tour information in the lobby.
What types of rooms can I expect?
• Single Accommodation - single rooms are designed for one bed and as such in some locations are smaller than twin rooms.
• Double Rooms - we cannot guarantee that clients will receive a Double Bed at all properties due to limited availability with this configuration, and in some cases, clients may be accommodated in twin share rooms.
Do I need to bring electrical adaptor plugs?
Most countries use either 110 volt or 220 volt, at 50Hz or 60Hz, plugs with either two flat pins or two round pins. You’ll need a multi-adapter with your appliance. Appropriate adaptor plugs should be purchased before leaving home to use for items such as razors, and mobile phone chargers (check with your mobile supplier as you may require a transformer for your charger). Adaptor plugs can be purchased from any luggage store.
Will I have the same seat on coaches?
To ensure all passengers have the opportunity to enjoy front and window seats, a daily seat rotation system is employed on all our coaches. It works on a scatter system where you are rotated around the coach by numbers, which also allows you to get to know other members of the group.
