Heritage
Old towns, ancient sites and living culture, with people who can explain what you are looking at.
With Africa Keys
Africa’s history is not behind glass. It is in the carved doors of Stone Town, the tombs across the river from Luxor, the cell on Robben Island and the gorge where the Leakeys worked.
We build heritage into a journey rather than around it: a morning in a museum, an afternoon in a market, a guide who grew up nearby.
Highlights
