Fall wildly in love with the wonders of Africa

- BY YECHIEL ASSERAF

AFRICA, A continent rich with wildlife and majestic landscapes. Ideal for young and old, for those who enjoy wild adventures or serene natural views. The best way to see Africa is on a tailor-made programme. This enables you to visit remote destinatio­ns without having to plan a thing.

Do not miss the Serengeti National Park, in Kenya, where you can watch the magical land migration in July and August. Discover thousands of different wild species, living in all different parts of the continent — Chobe National

Park, Botswana; Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe; Kruger National Park, South Africa, or the Delta, Botswana.

It is a privilege to stand just a few metres away from the majestic cascading waterfalls and hear the thundering of 550,000 cubic metres of water, plummeting into the mists below. One of the world’s natural wonders, the Victoria Falls is on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The Chobe National Park here is home to hippos, crocodiles, elephants and many bird species.

Africa also offers tropical and romantic destinatio­ns, such as its surroundin­g islands — Seychelles, Zanzibar, Maldives, Mauritius and many more — where one can swim in the clear blue ocean and snorkel with the sea life, or visit the coastal delights of Cape Town. All while dining on kosher cuisine.

Cape Kosher packages can include kosher food prepared by a classicall­y trained chef, who will cook dishes to your liking, supervised by a mashgiach from the Beth Din of Johannesbu­rg. They will also cover transport to and from the nearest internatio­nal airport and throughout your stay, adventurou­s activities and/or cultural excursions and luxury accommodat­ion.

As well as Africa’s wildlife and majestic landscapes, your trip could take in activities such as bungee jumping, abseiling up waterfalls, scenic hikes, white-water rafting, village tours, beach days, canoeing, fishing, snorkellin­g or deep-sea diving, shark cage diving, walking with lions, safari drives and more.

Encounter birds, crocodiles, elephants and hippos’
