Africa
Three times the size of North America, Africa holds within its vastness a staggering range of landscapes, abundant and varied wildlife, a myriad of cultures and civilizations, and the most significant hominid sites on earth. We present a number of ways to enjoy the array of the continent's attractions: privately chartered ships, vintage propliners, and tented safari camps among them.
