There’s nowhere in the world quite like Africa. It’s a continent that surprises you, stirs something deep within and offers experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else. At Roane Travel Design, we’ve spent years exploring its wild spaces, ancient wonders and soul-stirring moments, so we know just how extraordinary it can be.
Nothing prepares you for the moment you lock eyes with a mountain gorilla in the misty forests of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Trekking through the dense jungle with expert guides, you’ll encounter one of the planet’s most endangered and awe-inspiring species in its natural habitat. It’s raw, humbling, and deeply moving.
As the sun rises over the vast Serengeti plains in Northern Tanzania, you’ll gently drift above acacia-dotted landscapes and herds of wildebeest. Floating in silence as the Great Migration stirs below is an unforgettable moment. You’ll see the Serengeti in a way that ground safaris can’t capture, taking in the sheer scale of the landscape, spotting rivers and giraffe trails as the sky turns gold around you.
Tucked just outside Cape Town, the Cape Winelands are a feast for the senses. Rolling vineyards, historic estates, and award-winning wines meet world-class cuisine and breathtaking mountain views. Whether you’re cycling between tastings in Franschhoek or enjoying a long lunch under the oaks in Stellenbosch, this is where African adventure slows down and indulgence takes center stage.
After the thrill of safari, Zanzibar offers the perfect exhale. This Indian Ocean island off the coast of Tanzania is where white-sand beaches meet centuries-old culture and spice-laden air. Explore the winding alleys of Stone Town, sail the turquoise waters on a traditional dhow, or simply kick back on the beach with nothing but cocktails and time.
Standing on the “Roof of Africa” is the ultimate achievement for adventure seekers. The journey up Kilimanjaro is challenging, yes, but reaching the summit, with the clouds below you and the continent stretching into forever? That’s unmatched.
Straddling the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya – “The Smoke That Thunders” – it’s a breathtaking curtain of water that you can experience from every angle. Walk along rainforest trails beside the falls, take a scenic helicopter flight above the gorge, or cruise the Zambezi River at sunset. However you choose to see it, the sheer scale and beauty of Victoria Falls leave a lasting impression.
Few places in the world match the sheer awe of Egypt’s pyramids. The Great Pyramid of Giza – a remaining wonder of the ancient world – rises from the desert like a time machine to the pharaohs. Walk alongside these colossal structures, wander through the temples of Luxor and Karnak, or sail the Nile like ancient royalty as you dive into a living story waiting to be explored.
