South Africa

With world-class dining, a rich culture, spellbinding scenery and abundant wildlife, it’s easy to understand why South Africa is one of the region’s most popular holiday spots.

There’s plenty of activities and sightseeing opportunities in this extraordinary country. Inland, there’s trekking, rock climbing and abseiling from Table Mountain, while the coast offers deep sea voyages and the chance to spot seals, whales and sharks. For a more relaxing experience, spend a day wandering the famous South African vineyards and dining in stunning natural locations.

Azure offer a range of high quality accommodation in South Africa, from luxury lodges in animal parks to sleek, five-star hotels in Cape Town.

Botswana

Regarded by many as the top place in Africa to go on a safari, Botswana’s main appeal is its array of wildlife.

Animal-lovers can head to the Chobe National Park, which is home to over 60,000 elephants and big cats, including lions, cheetahs and leopards. Alternatively, Okavango Delta is a wetland paradise filled with swamps, islands and reed beds, where you can take a relaxing ride in a traditional mokoro canoe and marvel at the passing scenery and water-dwelling creatures.

Azure holidays in Botswana take you to unique accommodation in camps from which you can explore the magnificent landscapes and wildlife right on your doorstep.

Mozambique

Mozambique boasts some of Africa’s most beautiful beach resorts, where holidays can be spent reclining on palm-fringed sands, soaking up the views of the Indian Ocean, and swimming among colourful reef life.

Once a Portuguese settlement, the country’s colonial past is reflected in its many historic buildings. To help preserve the culture and natural landscapes, Azure travel experts work closely with the local people and tour operators to keep the impact of tourism to a minimum.

Namibia

Something altogether different, Namibia is largely a desert country - even though it has nearly one thousand kilometres of coastline. Here, you can roam across the beautiful shifting sand dunes and visit the stark salt pans in the Etosha National Park.

The North of Namibia is thought to be among the best places in Southern Africa to see wildlife, with a host of national parks and reserves containing endangered species such as the puku antelope and the black rhino.

Zambia

Zambia is home to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls - one of the world’s seven natural wonders. There are several wonderful rivers to see here too, including the Kafue, the Luangwa and the Zambezi.

Zambia is a favourite destination for walking safaris, with opportunities to see the likes of elephants, buffaloes and crocodiles.

An Azure holiday in Zambia can take you to a hotel near Victoria Falls, or to a rural camp where experienced local guides can lead you on a walking tour of the wildlife park.
