Africa is a vast, diverse continent that defies simple definition—home to more than 50 countries, thousands of cultures, and landscapes that range from golden deserts to dense jungles to vibrant cities. Whether you’re drawn by the wildlife of the Serengeti, the souks of Marrakech, or the vineyards of South Africa, you’ll discover experiences as layered and complex as the continent itself.
