Africa is a continent so vast and diverse that it feels like a universe unto itself. It's filled with dazzling destinations, each with its own unique beauty and character. At Rhino Africa, we've traversed this extraordinary land and invite you to journey with us through its myriad of landscapes, each as different from the next as if they were separate planets.
Venture into Africa's wilderness, where deserts, dense rainforests, and rugged coastlines await
Ethereal Silhouettes Against Expansive Skies
We begin with East Africa, where Tanzania and Kenya's sweeping savannah could easily be the surface of an undiscovered world, where wildlife roams free under a wide-open sky. Acacia-peppered plains turn from amber to emerald as the seasons pass, with a flourish of fauna forever present in the continent's most coveted sanctuaries.
East Africa is home of endless plains and the Great Migration
Majestic Peaks Meet Golden Plains
From the Maasai Mara and Serengeti to Ngorongoro and Amboseli, these are just a few places where the drama of nature plays out in a spectacle of survival and grace. Looming in the distance, Mount Kilimanjaro rises like a colossal monument, its snow-capped peak a stark contrast to the golden plains below.

Roam, Prowl, and Wander
Our wild spaces are famed for the Big 5. Venture on game drives, walks, hot air balloon safaris and boat rides in search of these legendary creatures of Africa. Come face-to-face with wildlife like the lion, leopard, elephant, African buffalo and yes, even the endangered rhino, relics of ancient times that move like armoured titans across the land.
Seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is a highlight for any wildlife enthusiast
Mystical Mistlands
Further west, the dense, mist-laden forests of Rwanda and the Congo beckon. Here, you'll explore lush greenery, leading to awe-inspiring encounters with the majestic mountain gorillas. These verdant realms, rich in biodiversity, offer an intimate communion with some of the continent's most enigmatic wildlife.

Rooted in Time
But Africa isn't limited to noble beasts. The flora is equally absorbing. Witness the age-old baobab trees, their massive trunks and sprawling branches holding centuries of secrets. In these beings, there's a sense of timelessness, a connection to a past as enduring as the land and fauna itself.

Enigmatic Beauty of Africa's Arid Expanse
From East Africa's grasslands, we go to the western fringes of Southern Africa, where the Namib Desert, with its surreal, alien-like landscapes, is a testament to life's resilience. In this sea of sand and sweltering climate, life thrives, adapting in ways that defy imagination.

Otherworldly Vistas
Namibia's landscapes are vivid dreamscapes with colours and formations that seem to belong to another world. It's a place of stark beauty, where the earth's and sky's hues blend into a palette that captivates and inspires.

Channelling Calmness
Africa's waterways paint a picture of contrasting beauty. The journey begins in the tranquil Okavango Delta, a water labyrinth where calm and quiet reign supreme. It stands as a gentle whisper of nature, offering a respite from the outside world in its intricate network of channels and islands.

Nature's Lifeline
In stark contrast, the Zambezi River asserts its presence with undeniable power. This mighty river, winding through varied terrains, is a life force that commands attention with its robust current and dynamic spirit. It's a vibrant artery of energy, contrasting sharply with the Delta's hushed tones.

The Smoke That Thunders
Emerging from this mighty river is the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. Here, the Zambezi's raw power culminates in a hypnotic display, plunging over cliffs in a majestic roar. This natural wonder, where water cascades dramatically, showcases the river's journey, echoing nature's relentless energy and timeless rhythms.

Beyond the Falls
At the bottom, the Zambezi tumbles in excitement – bidding farewell to the rugged terrains of Zimbabwe and Zambia. As it meanders away from the thunderous applause of the falls, the river enters a new chapter, flowing with a gentle grace while nurturing the lush mangroves of Mozambique before surrendering its collected stories to the sea.

Africa's Offshore Treasures
But, our journey doesn't stop at Africa's land boundaries. Extending into the Indian Ocean, a kaleidoscope of islands awaits, each a small paradise. Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar are just a few of these gems, where lush landscapes meet azure waters.
Warm waters and spectacular corals make for superb diving and snorkelling
Where a Different Life Abounds
These islands, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs, are sanctuaries for an astounding array of marine life. Dive into crystal-clear waters and witness a spectacular underwater world where corals form marine metropolises of biodiversity, hosting colourful fish, graceful sea turtles, and playful dolphins.
