Africa Holidays 2025 & 2026

This is Africa – a continent alive with wildlife, ancient monuments, and the warm fragrance of spices that fills the air.

Witness the morning sunlight bathe the savannah in a golden glow, and feel the warmth on your skin as you explore everything Africa has to offer. Dive into luminous emerald waters, seek thrilling safari adventures or indulge in a relaxing beach escape. Whatever you’re looking for, Africa has something for everyone.

Did you know that Africa is home to the world’s longest river (the Nile) and the largest desert (the Sahara)?

From the lively streets of Morocco to the paradise-like islands of the Seychelles, Africa is the ultimate destination for a holiday brimming with excitement.

Travel to Egypt, and watch history come to life under the desert sun with the Pyramids or walk the streets of Marrakesh and be enveloped in colours, sounds, and smells. The lively souks overflow with handwoven rugs, brass lanterns, and the fragrant aroma of spices—cumin, saffron, cinnamon. If relaxation is what you’re searching for, the sun-kissed islands of Seychelles will not disappoint. The beaches are impossibly white, and the cyan waters are so clear you can see the coral gardens beneath the surface. Here, time seems to slow down.

Africa is not only for adventurers—it's an ideal destination for family holidays, too. With child-friendly hotels in Egypt, beach resorts in Mauritius, and cultural excursions in Morocco, your family can enjoy a holiday packed with activities. Kids will love the wildlife, ancient history, and colourful local traditions, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone.

At Holiday Best, we offer African holidays that suit your interests while offering the best deals. Our flexible options, curated experiences, and owned products allow you to have the perfect trip to Africa—whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or an adventurous escape.

Top 5 Things To Do

Experience the lively streets of Marrakesh

Known as the ‘Red City,’ Marrakech is a land of architectural beauty. Explore the energetic souks, exquisite palaces, and gardens of Marrakesh. This Moroccan city offers a mix of history, architecture, and delicious food. Enjoy a sensory overload of spices, leather goods, and traditional dishes like Tanjia. For the adventurous, visit Jemaa el-Fnaa, a lively market filled with food vendors, snake charmers, musicians, and storytellers.

Explore Egypt’s Ancient Wonders

Standing before the iconic pyramids of Giza, their massive stones warm to the touch, you can hardly believe that these colossal structures have stood for over a thousand years. The Sphinx gazes solemnly across the horizon, guarding the desert. By night, you can cruise down the Nile River, its gentle waters reflecting the lights of the city along its banks.

Experience the Mindelo Carnival in Cape Verde

This culturally rich carnival showcases a fusion of Portuguese and African influences, with colourful parades, music, and elaborate costumes in the heart of São Vicente. The festival sweeps you into a whirlwind of music, colour, and dance as the streets come alive with costumed dancers. Join the celebration as drumbeats echo through the island.

Relax on Seychelles’ White Sandy Beaches

Escape to the crystal-clear waters and unspoiled beaches of the Seychelles. An ideal way to unwind after a thrilling African adventure. As you lay your back on the soft sand, watch palm trees sway gently in the breeze. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, surrounded by schools of majestic fish and sea turtles gliding by. Above water, the air is perfumed with tropical flowers.

Discover the Roman Ruins of Tunisia

Explore the ancient ruins of Carthage, Tunisia. Once a powerful city of the Roman Empire, the ruins offer a look into the past and is the perfect spot for history lovers. Visit the extensive Carthaginian Acropolis and the striking Antonine Baths along the Mediterranean coast. It’s an experience full of history and perfect for fans of archaeology.
