The Africa Collection 2021

The world is changing. There’s a sense of optimism in the air; a feeling that everything will continue to get better as we move forward. This optimism is carrying over to the world of travel, too, including the African sector. Visitors are ready to head back to this continent of wide-open skies and thrilling wildlife to create memories that will last a lifetime.

In this issue, we celebrate what makes travel to Africa such an exciting prospect, and what trends are on the horizon. Safaris are perennially popular, so we take a look at iconic wildlife adventures, as well as some innovative itineraries. We also round up the top beach destinations on the continent and some of its most important historical sites.

Elsewhere, we celebrate some conservation success stories and talk to an expert about how travel to Africa has changed over the past year.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip, the Directory, brought to you by our advertising partners, offers some of the finest lodges, camps and experiences across the continent.
