Roaring Africa: An Exclusive Travel Experience
This spectacular tour takes just 10 guests to the Holy Grail of Africa: Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe (one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World), Okavango Delta in Botswana (the largest inland delta in the world), the Great Migration in Kenya , and our planet’s last wild mountain gorillas live deep in the misty rainforest of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park.

Instead, guests are fully exposed to Africa’s wilderness, wildlife and thriving culture, with ample opportunity for exciting adventures while staying in the finest lodges. In addition to Kokel’s stunning images are stories of groundbreaking African artists, musicians, sommeliers, designers and conservationists blazing a trail in the land of their birth.
