AFRICA & THE INDIAN OCEAN

From South Africa’s game reserves and the wildly remote wonders of Madagascar and the Seychelles to the culture, character and charisma of the Middle East, these are voyages for the truly ardent explorer; for those seeking the lesser-known but equally awe-inspiring. Go in search of the Big Five on wide-ranging safaris, marvel at the grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza, or visit Namibia to see the world’s only coastal fog desert. Navigate the Arabian Peninsula to explore Oman’s Musandam wilderness and frankincense history, and discover Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu and Al Wajh –the islands, coasts and inland terrain are lush and otherworldly, and rich with natural wonders.

Regional Highlights

• Explore ancient architectural treasures, from Catherine’s Monastery in Sharm el Sheik to Crete’s Palace of Knossos

• Delve into culture in Abu Dhabi with a visit to the Louvre, or dinner at the Michelin-starred Hakkasan restaurant

• Search for endemic wildlife in the Seychelles, such as the Aldabra giant tortoise and La Digue’s paradise flycatcher

• Enjoy a hands-on cooking experience and Cape Malay lunch in Bo-Kaap, just 30 minutes from Cape Town

• Discover lands rich with UNESCO World Heritage sites of historical, cultural, and natural importance

DESTINATION SPOTLIGHT

DOHA, QATAR

Extravagant, gleaming, outlandish and lavish… these are but a few of the adjectives often used to describe Doha’s soaring rise in Qatar’s once-sleepy desert. Founded in the 1820s, Doha is today a modern megalopolis growing apace from its pearl farming origins. A well of oil riches fuelled this shimmering cityscape, creating a home for the spectacular I.M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art, and attracting film festivals and FIFA World Cup soccer. Amidst all this dazzle, you’ll still find a tight web of old alleyways and souks – most notably the atmospheric Souq Waqif.
