Cameroon Tour Guide: Best Places, Costs & Travel Tips

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature".

Burundi is not a polished safari product. It rewards...

Visit to Morocco: Best Places, Costs & Tips

A visit to Morocco drops you into a country of walled medinas, snow-capped peaks, saffron-coloured deserts and coastline on two seas - all within a few hours' drive of each other. Few destinations pack this much variety into one trip. You can haggle in a Marrakech souk at noon, watch the sun set over Sahara dunes the next evening, and sip mint tea in a blue mountain village two days later. This...
