Treasures of the Regions

There are great distances that stretch from West Africa – the storyteller region – home to ancient Baobab trees that have witnessed centuries of history and have integrated with folklore, all the way across the continent to East Africa. Here you can discover the African Great Lakes, coastlines that are peppered with lazy Indian Ocean beach resorts and island locations as well as immense safari plains that host countless world-renowned wildlife documenting options.
