What are Community Lodges?THESE LODGES are built on community land which is land owned by the local African people. In joint ventures with safari companies and/or donors, local communities are building eco-friendly lodges which they manage themselves and so ensure they benefit directly from tourism. The profits then fund projects in the local villages such as education and healthcare. The wildlife also benefits as it is now seen as a valuable commodity and is protected by the very people who once hunted or chase it from their lands. These lodges, built in beautiful settings around east and southern Africa, are maintained to the very highest standards.

GOLF – play world class 18 hole golf courses in Kenya, South Africa, Morocco and Zimbabwe, either as part of your holiday or as a specially designed golf tour.

RIDING – the most exhilarating way to experience the African wilderness; canter alongside the migration or swim with your horse through the waters of the Okavango Delta.

WALKING – view wildlife on foot and notice every smell, sound and footprint that may be missed from a vehicle. Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania are the walking specialists.

SCUBA DIVING – Some of the best dive sites in the world lie in the waters surrounding Africa or try diving at altitude in Lake Malawi.

SAILING – join a flotilla of catamarans on the magical Lake Kariba or charter a yacht and sail around the islands of the Seychelles or Madagascar.

FISHING in Africa is as varied as it is exciting, whether its big game fishing in the Indian Ocean or fly fishing for Tiger Fish in the rapids of the Zambezi.

CLIMBING – Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya are just two of the mountains Africa has to offer, catering for the most skilled climber or those simply looking for a challenge.

CYCLING – you can cycle throughout Africa but why not try our fully equipped cycling safaris which take you through the highlands of Kenya with their dramatic landscapes and areas rich in wildlife.

WELCOME to our mini brochure which gives you a taste of what we can offer you on your African holiday. Our main brochure is online at www.farsideafrica.com, where you can find maps and details about the different areas and lodges. However, in the following pages we show you the countries where we can organise your holiday, while we also provide an easy-to-use glossary showing the highlights of each area.There is so much more to Africa than its magnificent wildlife and so many more ways to view it other than from a Land Rover. Why not try a horseback safari or a camel trek? Or what about seeing Africa from a balloon or canoe? And then there’s the ultimate safari on foot, where you can learn about the flora and fauna, and the little things which make Africa so special.

As you will see, there is a huge range of accommodation and places to visit. Through our experience of living and working in Africa, we can give you independent advice on where and when to go, and how to get there. We will listen to what you want to do and give you various ideas from which you can choose. We will continue to amend your itinerary until we have your perfect holiday.

Please look through the brochure, visit our website and give us a ring so that we can start planning your ideal holiday. We look forward to hearing from you.

MoroccoMOROCCO With 12 months of

sunshine, one of the richest cultures

in Africa and unbeatable shopping in

the souks of Marrakech, Morocco is

the perfect destination for a weekend

break or a longer holiday exploring

the cities, mountains and deserts of

this remarkable country. And, best

of all, it’s just a three-hour flight

from the UK.

Morocco is a land of limitless

possibilities. You can explore the

mountains, deserts and dramatic coast

lines with a guide or in your own hire

car; you can drive over high passes

and through dramatic gorges or camel

trek into the Sahara desert with the

Touareg.

KENYA Kenya is the birthplace of the

safari, which means ‘a journey’ in Swahili.

The country is teeming with game and

is at the forefront of local communities

conserving their own land and its wildlife.

The highlight of the natural year is the

annual migration of the wildebeest and

zebra, who take two months to pass

through the Masai Mara, and the reserve,

is famous for its numbers of big cats. It’s a

dramatic country cut from north to south by

the Great Rift Valley with its great lakes and

mountains. The deserts and wilderness areas

to the north beckon adventurers taking off

on foot and by camel into the land of the

Samburu and north to Lake Turkana. Further

south, the beaches of the Indian Ocean and

islands of Lamu boast a more relaxed pace

of life, where time slows to the pace of the

Swahili fishermen sailing in their dhows as

they have since the days when Arab traders

dominated this coast.

HIGHLIGHTS: Wildebeest migration, private game reserves, horse riding, camel trekking, mountain biking, walking, hiking, rafting, community projects, big cats, dramatic scenery, the great lakes, culture, Masai and Samburu, Swahili coast.

FactsDon’t be put off by the minibus brigade in the Mara – they can be avoided and there is no end of wild places to visit off the usual tourist trail. Wildebeest migration July/August/Sept, northern beaches avoid June to August due to seaweed. Rainy season April & May, short rains November.

Kenya

Whether you want to explore the desert or take a walking tour

of the Atlas Mountains – where you can climb Mt Toubkal,

North Africa’s highest mountain, stay with the local Berber

people or even go skiing in the High Atlas – Morocco is an

unbeatable destination for walking. Discover the mystery of the

imperial cities of Fez and Meknes with their labyrinth of souks

and alleyways and ancient Roman ruins. Enjoy the beaches of

the north Mediterranean coast or the wild Atlantic coast, famous

for all types of surfing and delicious seafood. You will stay in

beautifully restored city-centre Riads or rural Kasbahs, and

experience the grandeur of the days of the Sultans.

HIGHLIGHTS: Only three-hour flight from London, great markets and food, self-drive, culture with the Berber and Touareg nomads, walking holidays, dramatic country, sand dunes.

FactsTravel all year but the cities and desert get very hot in the summer months of July and August. Good for winter sunshine. High Atlas weather is similar to the Alps.

RWANDA Rwanda, with its rolling

mountainous landscapes, lakes and volcanoes,

will forever be known as the land of ‘Gorillas

in the Mist’. Africa’s premier gorilla tracking

destination and once the home of Dian Fossey,

Rwanda briefly became infamous for the

terrible genocide of 1994. Yet the country

has been peaceful since then, and is now

firmly back on its feet; stable and promoting

tourism in one of the continent’s most beautiful

countries.

TanzaniaTANZANIA Tanzania has something

for everyone. With over a quarter of

the country protected, game viewing is

unparalleled, there are also mountains to

climb, ancient cultures to absorb, unspoilt

wilderness to discover and white sandy

beaches and coral gardens to admire. The

high point of the year is the spectacular

annual migration of over a million zebra

and wildebeest, who spend ten months

of the year crossing the plains and

rivers of the Serengeti. Combine this

with the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater

and the smaller parks of Lake Manyara

and Tarangire, and northern Tanzania

provides a spectacular safari experience.

Yet there is much more to the region

than just game viewing. Africa’s highest

mountain Mt Kilimanjaro provides a

spectacular backdrop, and mountains

like Mt Meru, Lengai and the Ngorongoro

Highlands are a wilderness waiting to be

discovered.

UGANDA To travel to Uganda is to visit a country

off the tourist trail where the game may not be as

prolific as in its close neighbours Kenya and Tanzania.

Yet the friendliness of the people and the beauty of the

country make it a destination which, once experienced,

is unlikely to be forgotten. After two decades of civil

war in the 1970s and 80s, money has poured into this

now peaceful country, and as the infrastructure has

been rebuilt, so the poaching of game has virtually

disappeared. Numbers are now back in strength,

especially in the Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth

National parks. The scenery in Uganda is stunning with

volcanoes and crater lakes for swimming and fishing.

It is a lush, tropical landscape with rich fertile soil

where anything can grow. With mountain gorillas and

chimpanzees, fishing for Nile perch, shoe-bill storks

and 1008 recorded species of birds, white water rafting

and beautiful islands in Lake Victoria, it makes for the

perfect holiday.

Undiscovered and unspoilt, southern Tanzania is a far cry from

the more established northern circuit. Parks such as Ruaha,

Saadani, the Selous and Katavi have only a handful of lodges

and few tourists, which makes for undisturbed game viewing.

These abundant game areas are well known for their walking,

river safaris and authentic safari lodges.

Whether you decide to visit the north or the south, the beaches

and culture of the spice islands of Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba

are the perfect place to relax before or after any Tanzanian

safari.

HIGHLIGHTS: climbing/trekking, walking safaris, boat safaris, beaches, diving, chimpanzees, Masai culture, Spice Islands.

FactsLong rains in April & May and short rains in November, combines well with gorillas in Rwanda. Book early for the Gorillas as permits are limited.

Uganda/Rwanda

FactsBest to avoid long rains (April to early June) although this is also a key period for migratory birds. Nov/early Dec good low season rates in the South. Wildebeest migration, calves born in February.

Zambia MalawiZAMBIA Zambia is the country which

pioneered walking safaris. To be precise,

Norman Carr was the man and South

Luangwa was the place, and today it

remains the quintessential African walking

safari. There is no greater sense of

excitement than creeping past a herd of

buffalo, a pride of dozing lions or glimpsing

an elusive leopard when you are on foot.

However, there is much more to Zambia

than only walking: game drives, a canoe

safari on the Zambezi River or visit the

mighty Victoria Falls, where you can try

your hand at activities galore from river

rafting to microlighting.

HIGHLIGHTS: walking safaris, wild dogs, Victoria Falls, tiger fishing, canoeing the Zambezi, shoe-bill storks, black lechwe.

MALAWI Lake Malawi, the country’s major attraction,

makes up much of the country’s eastern border, yet there

is much more to this nation than its famous lake. The

unique highland plateau of Nyika, for example, is heaven

for botanists and nature-lovers. National parks such as

Liwonde contain an abundance of game and a myriad of

birds, but it’s probably not for first time safari-goers as

game is shy and less plentiful than in some neighbouring

countries. The massive lake is a beautiful inland sea with

the world’s largest number of freshwater fish, which makes

for great snorkelling and diving. There are some lovely

beach lodges and fascinating islands such as Likoma

Island, which is the site of a century-old church the size

of Winchester cathedral. David Livingstone spent time in

Malawi, and the country has a rich history. As importantly,

it provides a great cultural experience where you will meet

some of the friendliest people in Africa, which perhaps

explains why Malawi is the ‘warm heart of Africa’.

HIGHLIGHTS: horse riding, rare orchids of Nyika plateau, Likoma cathedral, markets, local crafts, Lake Malawi, sailing, altitude diving, freshwater fish, river safaris.

FactsMalawi combines well with a safari in Zambia. Access to the Mozambique side of Lake Malawi.

FactsWalking safaris/bush camps open June to Nov. Emerald Season Dec to May is good value for money and few tourists. Walking safaris are not as strenuous as they sound; the pace and length of walk is dictated by you and can be combined with game drives. A safari in Zambia combines well with beaches on Lake Malawi.

MoroccoA country of culture, contrast and architectural brilliance. Explore the ancient cities and souks, walk in the Atlas Mountains or camel trek in the Sahara Desert overnighting with the nomadic Berber tribes.

KenyaThere is so much more to see in Kenya than their famous national parks and coast. Visit the desert and the mountains in the north or go walking, horse or camel riding, white water rafting or sleeping out under the stars in the many private reserves around the country.

Uganda

A lush and beautiful country of volcanoes, crater lakes and primates. The national parks are rich in wildlife and tourism is growing, mainly on the back of the gorillas but there is so much more to see in this amazing country.

TanzaniaTanzania combines a mixture of traditional safari in the north with the Serengeti and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, together with the wilder lesser known areas in the south such as Selous and Ruaha. It has a beautiful coastline and exotic Zanzibar and other islands are within easy reach.

ZambiaUndiscovered Africa, wild and beautiful – supporting healthy populations of game including the rare Shoe-bill Stork, Wild Dog and Black Lechwe. Walking and canoeing safaris with exceptional guiding are a speciality in this part of Africa.

MalawiMalawi is a little known safari destination with game numbers rising fast. It is definitely worth a visit, if only to experience the Malawian hospitality, its magnificent lake and unique Nyika Plateau.

Zimbabwe

Botswana

Namibia

Mozambique

South Africa

Madagascar

A country where history and natural wonders combine with traditional comfort. The national parks are teeming with

game and the lodges will welcome you with open arms.

Desert and Delta – a land of contrasts. Glide silently through the Okavango Delta in a mokoro canoe or walk and ride

through game filled plains. Explore the huge desert pans of the Kalahari with its archaeological history of the Bushmen.

Namibia is a harsh and fragile country with vast multi-coloured desert plains, shifting sand dunes and rugged

mountains. Also with game filled pans in Etosha, rhino tracking in Damaraland and a more traditional safari in the Caprivi Strip.

A pristine coastline with beautiful palm fringed islands and white sandy beaches. The interior is slowly opening up to tourism with a number of community conservation

projects. It is a true wilderness waiting to be explored.

Perhaps the most diverse country in the continent where you can combine a sophisticated safari experience with wine tasting,

cultured cities, scuba diving and Zulu battlefield tours. The possibilities are endless.

A diverse island with a fragile environment which boasts flora and fauna unique to its shores. It is the only place to see Lemurs in

the wild and has beautiful rainforests, beaches and desert islands.

Seychelles/MauritiusThe Seychelles is made up of a number of small islands

and luxury lodges while Mauritius is a larger island mainly with bigger hotels. Both ideal honeymoon

destinations with endless beaches and luxury accommodation but also a haven for bird watchers,

fishermen and water sport enthusiasts.

NamibiaBotswana

BOTSWANA Botswana is a land of contrasts with the vast Kalahari Desert and salt pans of the

Makgadikgadi combining with the giant oasis which is the Okavango Delta, with its waterways, lagoons,

papyrus swamps and reed beds. Dotted with islands the Okavango is host to huge numbers of game and

aquatic birds and animals including the elusive Sitatunga antelope. The Makgadikgadi pans have their own

migration of wildebeest and zebra feeding during the rains when the pans fill with water. The great rivers

of the Limpopo, Chobe and Kwando are home to wildlife year round but are a lifeline in the dry months of

September and October when game congregates along the rivers for water.

HIGHLIGHTS: Okavango Delta, mokoros, Bushmen culture, horse-riding, walking safaris, salt pans, Kalahari Desert, tiger fishing, wild dogs, bird watching, proximity to Victoria Falls.

NAMIBIA Namibia is a different type of safari

destination, and not only because it boasts some

spectacular desert-adapted wildlife. Climb to the

top of some of the world’s highest sand dunes in

Sossusvlei or explore the wild Skeleton Coast dotted

with shipwrecks and whalebones and home only to

birds, seals and the odd scavenging jackal. See some

of Africa’s last truly wild rhino and track them on

foot with ‘Save the Rhino’ trackers in Damaraland.

You can fly in luxury around the country or explore

the enormity of this fragile desert country on a self-

drive or on a guided tour. Or take a look at the lush,

green Caprivi Strip: the pan handle of north-east

Namibia is sandwiched between Botswana, Angola

and Zambia, and is home to some excellent lodges

in private game reserves along the Chobe river,

which offers excellent tiger fishing.

HIGHLIGHTS: self-drive, wilderness, climbing sand dunes, endless space, Himba and Herero peoples.

FactsLow season is Dec-March but prices are lower and there is never much rain in the desert. It can be hot though. Winter months of June and July can be very cold. Tiger fishing best in May & June.

FactsPrices are high in Botswana to protect its fragile ecosystem but with low rain densities the ‘secret season’ between November and June is perfect with cheap prices and low visitor numbers. June-August can be bitterly cold even with frosty mornings. Nearest beaches are in Mozambique.

South AfricaMozambique

MOZAMBIQUE Mozambique has a rich and diverse culture, a melting pot of African, Portuguese and Arab

influences. After years of civil war, investment is pouring into community and wildlife projects throughout

the country. Mozambique’s main draw remains its glorious beaches and archipelagos, and a visit here

combines well with a safari in any of the southern African countries. The northern coast, with the beautiful and

unexplored islands and reefs of the Quirimbas Archipelago off Pemba, an area known for its excellent diving

and snorkelling, is more easily accessed from Tanzania with flights from Dar es Salaam. Mozambique also has

a shore of Lake Malawi, where there is a thriving community lodge with beach, walking and camping holidays,

generating income for a poor and remote area of the country.

HIGHLIGHTS: great beaches, islands, diving, snorkelling, whale sharks, turtles laying, sea food, community projects.

SOUTH AFRICA South Africa is an enormous and diverse country with two climatic zones, mountains,

rainforests, deserts, sub-tropical waters and also colder Atlantic waters providing a rich diversity of marine

wildlife, in particular a spectacular migration of sardines which is followed by predatory sharks, dolphins

and whales. There are also sea safaris where you can watch turtles, humpback whales and great white sharks

and in the afternoon you can see the Big Five in nearby game parks. With excellent roads it is perfect for a

self-drive holiday, with the Winelands and the Garden Route to explore and Kwazulu Natal, the Drakensberg

Mountains, the Wild Coast and Swaziland to discover. There are a multitude of national parks and private

reserves teeming with game, including the best known of them all, the Kruger National Park. There is

something for everyone in South Africa, which provides the perfect introduction to the continent.

FactsSeasons opposite to Europe. Cape Town has a different climatic zone to northern areas. June/July mild and wet in the Cape, but dry/cold in the north – this is the best time for game viewing. September (Springtime) humpback whales and wild flowers. Sardine run in June. Turtles hatch in Jan/Feb.

FactsRainy season from Dec-March and can be a bit windy in April and May. Direct flights from Johannesburg to Vilanculos (Bazaruto Archipelago) or from Dar es Salaam to Pemba (Quirimbas archipelago).

MadagascarMADAGASCAR Madagascar,

the world’s 4th largest island has a

unique eco system with a profusion

of flora and fauna, 80% of which is

found nowhere else on earth. It has

3 climatic zones with mountains,

semi deserts, rainforests, sandy

beaches and clear tropical waters with

archipelagos of islands linked by coral

reefs. The cultural experience of the

16 Malagasy tribes is as fascinating as

the unique country itself. The national

parks are teeming with lemurs, rare

birds, chameleons, tenrecs, geckos,

lizards, butterflies and many weird

and wonderful insects and plants.MAURITIUS Mauritius is a bigger island than those

of the Seychelles but it still has the amazing beaches and

coral reefs with excellent diving and snorkelling. Away

from the beach you can explore the island and its forests,

volcanoes, waterfalls and myriad of birds. As well as

sailing and deep sea fishing, a full range of water sports

are available. As most of the hotels are of a reasonable

size, they have excellent children’s programmes and

facilities.

SEYCHELLES The Seychelles remains

one of the world’s most exclusive

holiday destinations, its islands and

atolls lined with palm trees and endless

white beaches. If you ever decide

to take a break from relaxing on the

beach, you can go sailing or explore the

islands on foot or by bicycle and there

is a fantastic array of unusual birds,

culminating on Bird Island. There is

also a wide selection of water sports on

offer, while fishermen have the choice

of deep sea fishing or staying onshore

and going flats fishing for bone fish.

Seychelles/Mauritius

FactsBest for birders and botanists, beaches, lemurs and culture.It’s a year round destination except for Feb when there can be cyclones but certain areas are at their best at different times of the year. Infrastructure and the quality of hotels is improving.

FactsBoth are excellent honeymoon destinations and combine well with a safari on the African mainland.They are both year-round destinations, although monsoons can occur in February.May-Sept south western parts of the Seychellois islands can have bad seaweed and rough water.

GABON is an undiscovered wilderness of

pristine rain forests, open savannahs and miles

of deserted beaches. Visit the weird and the

wonderful; surfing hippos, red river hogs,

mandrills, lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, long-

snouted crocodiles, ancient forests and go to a

traditional Bwiti ceremony. Conservation and

tourism go hand in hand here and you will visit

the projects and mingle with researchers and

conservationists in the lodges and camps. It’s a

beautiful country but get there before everyone

else does!

HIGHLIGHTS: Conservation, traditional ceremonies, lowland gorillas, whales, primates, turtles, fishing, langoue bai.

Gabon/São Tomé & Príncipe

SÃO TOMÉ & PRÍNCIPE You will not get a more

accurate description for a country as ‘unspoilt’ and

‘off the beaten track’ as you do to describe the small

islands of São Tomé and Príncipe which are just off the

West African coast of Gabon. The islands, which are on

the equator, have tropical jungles, exotic birds, trees

and flowers, deserted beaches, volcanoes and volcanic

plugs and some breathtaking scenery. There are a few

beach hotels and for the adventurous; camping and

exploring the interior.

HIGHLIGHTS: Diving, beaches, fishing, blow holes, volcanoes, coco plantations, plantation houses, indigenous flora and fauna.

New to tourism these countries will not appeal to everyone, there is plenty to see and do but don’t try and compare to East & Southern Africa. Best times to visit June-Sept and Nov-Jan.

Facts

Oman

OMAN which is slowly opening up to international tourism occupies the southeastern tip of the Arabian

Peninsula. The interior of the country has dramatic rugged mountain scenery (dry and harsh in the north but

green and lush in the south) and vast stretches of rolling sand dunes. With almost 1700km of coastline stretching

along the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf it provides some fantastic beaches and scuba diving.

The country is one of the cradles of civilization and home to fabled figures such as Sinbad the Sailor and the

Queen of Sheba. Combine this with medieval fortified towns and castles, fascinating wildlife, geology and

friendly locals, Oman is an ideal holiday destination with a difference.

HIGHLIGHTS: Ancient forts, spectacular mosques, culture, sand dunes,adventure camping, self drive, friendly people, unique wildlife, beaches,scuba diving, silver and gold.

Best time to visit from September through to April. Too hot in the North from May to August, however, at this time of year there is a light monsoon rain in the south which lowers temperatures and makes the mountains lush and green!

Facts

Take the KidsTAKE THE KIDS Imagine visiting Africa as

a child! The adventure, the animals only seen

in books and on television, amazing bugs and

insects, people from a different world and a

whole new culture. It used to be difficult taking

children to Africa but now more and more lodges

are catering for children of all ages. Special

children’s clubs and activities have been set up

so you can relax or join in with the kids and

watch them learn; how does a Masai warrior go

about his day, tracking animals, making fire by

rubbing two sticks together, digging for roots

and grubs, making bead necklaces, firing a bow

and arrow. Shorter game drives are organised,

as are visits to local schools and villages to meet

children of their own age.

There are many private reserves and lodges

where you can go horse riding, mountain biking,

boat trips and on nature walks.

So don’t leave the kids at home – introduce them

to a whole new world!

HONEYMOONS Your honeymoon could be the most important

holiday of your life!

After popping the all-important question, the next big decision to

make is where to go on honeymoon. At Farside Africa we realise

how important this decision is and we are on hand to discuss the

endless opportunities of this entrancing continent. Africa has so

much to offer, whether it’s the palm-fringed beaches of the Indian

Ocean, the exotic isles and lakes with snorkelling and diving over

pristine reefs, deep sea fishing, sailing on traditional dhows,

delicious seafood or relaxation.

You can combine the coast with one of the many safari destinations.

Ride a horse through herds of animals or take a camel trek through

the desert. Glide down a river in a canoe past hippos and crocs or

track rhino and elephant on foot. If that all sounds a bit strenuous,

you can see all the game you could wish for from the comfort of

your landrover and even from the balcony of your luxury lodge.

We specialise in tailor-making your honeymoon to your requirements and can keep giving you new ideas until

we have your prefect itinerary. Please give us a ring and we can start planning your ultimate honeymoon.

Honeymoons

If Malaria is a concern, we can suggest areas and times of year when mosquitoes are less prevalent or why not try one of the many game parks and reserves in non-malarial areas.
