Africa, home to an amazing 54 nations, absolutely deserves a place on every traveller's bucket list. Think towering dunes, rolling savannah, a riveting past, and a tapestry of cultures so vibrant you’ll feel energised at every turn. Then there’s the wildlife. Elephants, leopards, lions… you name it, Africa proudly boasts it. Zebras by the herd. Giraffes galore. And that’s only the beginning. From the legendary Big Five to the cheeky Little Five, plus more birds, bushveld, and curious critters than you ever imagined, Africa teems with life that’ll leave you awe-struck.
You won’t leave Africa with a half-hearted shrug. You’ll take home a brand-new appreciation for the continent that sets the benchmark for wow.

Flying from Auckland to major destinations in Africa, such as Johannesburg typically takes around 20-24 hours, including at least one stopover.
For South Africa, the dry winter months from May to October are ideal for wildlife safaris. For East Africa, the dry seasons from June to October and December to March are perfect to witness the Great Migration. North Africa is best visited from October to April.
Africa spans several time zones, but most countries are around 10 to 12 hours behind New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, GMT +12).
South Africa is a country that dazzles with diversity — from wild savannahs to arty, edgy cityscapes to the turquoise coastline and white sands of your dreams. Watch elephants, giraffes and rhinos roam at sunrise in Kruger National Park, feel the sea breeze on your face at Cape Point, or hike Table Mountain for panoramic views that will render you utterly speechless.

I have been in and out of the industry since the 80's I have lived in Australia, Canada, Italy and of course NZ.
I have travelled to some great places but there is still a huge number of countries on my wish list.
There is nothing better than being able to help someone when they are going to a new place...recommend a hotel, restaurant or activity and then have them return to say how much they enjoyed it all.

Hey there! |
Laura
I have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City.
My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between.
I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years.
I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.
