Africa Travel Guide

Africa's best-known trips for international visitors range from Marrakech's medina and souks to Cape Town's mountain-and-coastline setting and safari access — each a distinct region rather than a single itinerary.

Destinations in Africa

Africa

Cairo

Egypt

Cairo sprawls along the Nile with the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx rising at its western edge, close enough to the city center that they can genuinely be visited in half a day rather than a dedicated expedition.

Cape Town

South Africa

Table Mountain rises directly over the city center, with vineyards, penguin colonies, and some of the world's most dramatic coastal drives all within a short trip of downtown — a rare combination of city, mountain, and ocean in one place.

Chefchaouen

Morocco

Tucked into the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen's medina is washed almost entirely in shades of blue, making it one of the most photographed small towns in Morocco and a genuinely different pace from Marrakech or Fes.

Africa

Fes

Morocco

Morocco's oldest imperial city holds Fes el Bali, the largest car-free urban area in the world — a medieval medina of thousands of narrow alleys built around a university older than any in Europe.

Africa

Marrakech

Morocco

The Red City overwhelms the senses with the spice stalls and snake charmers of Jemaa el-Fnaa, the tucked-away riads of the medina, and the Atlas Mountains rising just beyond the palm groves.
