Africa Travel: Road Trips, Safaris and Marrakech

From wide desert landscapes and wildlife encounters in southern Africa to the lively medinas of Morocco, these travel stories gather personal routes, practical observations and memorable stops across the continent. Follow a self-drive itinerary through Namibia or South Africa, plan time around Victoria Falls and Botswana, or explore Marrakech on foot. The selection is an introduction to the places covered here rather than a complete guide to Africa.

Road trips and wildlife in southern Africa

Namibia combines Sossusvlei’s dune landscape, starry skies in the Namib and a self-drive route starting in Windhoek. In Botswana, sandy tracks in Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta call for realistic route planning; guided game drives can be a helpful option for safari newcomers. Continue to Victoria Falls, or browse a Namibia road trip and a Botswana safari for the details behind these journeys.

Marrakech and Morocco beyond the itinerary

Marrakech is covered from several angles: classic sights within its walkable centre, the evening atmosphere at Djemaa el Fna and quieter pauses in Jardin Majorelle. A wider Morocco journey also reaches Casablanca, Fez, Chefchaouen, Merzouga and the Sahara. For a first orientation, start with Marrakech sights and travel tips, then linger over the colours, market life and portraits in Morocco.
