Algeria

Being largely untouched by tourism is perhaps what makes Algeria so special. An unspoilt smorgasbord of raw natural beauty awaits exploration beyond this African gateway – from the vast and spectacular Sahara to the breathtaking coastline and rural greenery of the north. Then there is the charismatic capital city of Algiers, where beautiful colonial and modernist architecture clamours among an intriguing honeycomb of streets. Combined with the warm welcome of Algerian’s people and you have a country of underrated but great appeal.

Flights to Algiers

Egypt

The ancient Egyptians’ historical legacy will fill you with awe. Visit the great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun and cruise down the Nile to the Valley of the Kings.

Egypt flights

Ghana

Visit Ghana to relax on sandy beaches along the Gold Coast or to spot elephants and lions at national parks. Immerse yourself in West African Ashanti culture in Kumasi, or feel the upbeat vibe of the cosmopolitan capital city, Accra. Away from Accra, you'll find that Ghana's star attraction is its miles of palm-fringed Atlantic Ocean beaches.

Kenya

Join a safari to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve for close encounters with leopards, lions and birds of prey. Get a big-city fix in Nairobi – a mix of modern skyscrapers, bustling markets and traditional cultural centres. Wind down on Mombasa's palm tree-fringed beaches and shop for local art in its Old Town. Take a ferry to car-free Lamu Island, home to Kenya's oldest Swahili settlement.
