TWO WEEKS IN AFRICA
THREE 14-DAY TOURS TO INSPIRE YOU
Travel is slowly starting to pick back up as COVID-19 cases begin to subside across the world. Many of us are daring to dream and have started planning holidays for next year. So many travellers had to put their dream holidays on hold but these holidays are beginning to become tangible again.
If you are looking to travel while maintaining social distancing, then Africa is the perfect destination for you. It is almost as if safaris were designed with social distancing in mind – limited travellers spending their days exploring wide open spaces under a warm sun with an abundance of fresh air. Let us not forget the main selling point of the safari – the incredible wildlife you get to encounter roaming freely in their natural habitat. And if this is not reason enough, we have been living live extreme circumstances. A safari is the chance for you to reconnect with nature, relax and restore your energy levels.
Here are three 14-day tours to inspire you to choose Africa as your post-COVID travel destination:
