Africa
There's nowhere like it in this world for wildlife, stunning scenery and enduring rich and welcoming traditions.
Africa is the second-largest continent, covering more than 11 million square miles and home to over 1.4 billion people. It is home to the planet’s greatest wildlife reserves, where elephants cross rivers, lions patrol open plains, and great migrations move with the seasons. Ancient monuments stand beside modern cities, reflecting civilizations that have shaped human history for thousands of years. Its landscapes stretch across deserts, tropical coastlines, high mountain ranges, and rainforests, offering some of the most dramatic settings on earth. Travelers can stand before the pyramids, feel the spray of Victoria Falls, or watch the sun set over the Sahara, each moment showing a different side of the continent’s scale and wonder.
Africa is also home to more than 100 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including world-renowned national parks, museums, and cultural institutions. The Serengeti remains one of the most famous wildlife reserves on the planet, while the Nile River, stretching more than 4,000 miles, has shaped communities and civilizations for millennia.
