From Speke's and Burton's courageous quest for the Nile's source, to Leakey's single-minded search for the origins of mankind, Africa's harsh beauty and dramatic history have stood as a challenge to man from the beginning of time. Snow-capped Kilimanjaro keeps its vigil over vast savannahs dotted by herds of languid elephants and prancing gazelle. Lions stalk zebra in Kenya's Masai Mara, and hippos and crocodiles keep uneasy peace in the mudflats of Botswana's Okavango Delta. At the famed Cape of Good Hope, aptly named in light of South Africa's recent past, the Indian and Atlantic oceans collide. Blazing red sunsets set fire to the sand dunes of the Namib Desert. Don't delay...come see the wonders of Africa for yourself!
