EXPERIENCE EGYPT AND CAMEROON

Enjoy the beauty of Egypt and Cameroon in a unique experience.

Egypt, land of the Nile, tomb of the pharaohs. Once a sparkling – now crumbling – wonderland of the ancient past. See the most remarkable temples, tombs, pyramids and monuments. Experience Egypt with Nile Cruise Holiday. Stop in Cairo to visit the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum before flying to Luxor to embark on a Nile cruise. See impressive ruins and beautiful scenery between Luxor and Aswan on a luxurious 5-day cruise before returning to Cairo to depart.

Cameroon, sometimes described as “Africa in one country” about its variety of habitats and people, is a land that will steal your heart away. This virtually unexplored country is home to an astonishing 250 ethnic groups and a matching diversity of landscape – from the jungles of the south to the Sahel of the north. The southern rainforest is home to communities of Ba’aka and Badgeli pygmies, existing in harmony with their environment. Ancient kingdoms, cattle herding nomads, stunning golden, palm-fringed beaches, glassy rivers, and volcanic mountain ridges lie in between. Forest canopies throb with the call of the rarest species, and colorful tiny markets and streets bustle with excitement—photogenic waterfalls thunder in a “white smoke” of spray to pristine rivers and lakes. A trip to Cameroon will allow you to see nature at its wildest and rarest in places few outsiders have been fortunate to explore.
