South Africa is one of the most culturally-diverse, bio-diverse, multilingual, multitalented and multifaceted nations on the planet. It is home to some of the world's greatest icons and everyday heroes including Mr. Nelson Madela. After all, you could always go and read up on the wonderful world of cheese-making, or the history of reverse-psychology. Then again, you might want to discover what South Africa is really about – because under the hype, under the fluff, and under the feet of all the colorful inhabitants of this lovely land, you can expect to find a place that truly offers everything under the sun - lots of sun. South Africa is truly a magical experience to blow your minds off to a completely alien level.

Kenya is popularly known as the land of Safaris. For over a hundred years Kenya has attracted adventurers and romantics from all over the globe. This has been the setting of some of history's greatest adventure tales. This is a place where setting out on an adventure into the wilderness became an age old tradition, with the spirit of the Safari besieging all other interests today. The romance of evenings around a campfire and nights under canvas with the distant roar of a lion in the African night can still be found in Kenya. The lure of Kenya has always been the same, the sheer variety of landscape, wildlife, human cultures and experience. No other African country can boast such diversity within its borders. Here you will find snow capped peaks and rolling savannah, pristine beaches and tropical rain forest, nomadic tribesmen and dhow sailors, and much more.
