The Continent of Africa amazes and mystifies. South Africa captivates with stunning nature reserves, seaside playgrounds and verdant wine producing valleys. Kenya and Tanzania feature spectacular game reserves, where stealthy carnivores stalk herds of grazing prey, while observers wish they had brought more film.
Among Egypt's treasures are Giza's great pyramids and sphinx. Highlighted on several itineraries is an included excursion from Safaga to visit Luxor and the remarkable Valley of the Kings. Also among the wondrous sights in this region are the magnificent carved edifices of Petra, accessible from Jordan's port of Aqaba. Across the Indian Ocean from Africa, India is a world apart. This is a land where some of the world's most mystical gifts are revealed, including the Taj Mahal and the pink Palace of Agra.
On explorations such as these, quite possibly the greatest discovery of all is what is revealed in one's self along the way?
