The Best Ecotourism Holidays in Africa
Dreaming of an African escape? Travel with a clean and green conscience on one of these Culture Trip adventures.
The African tourism industry relies heavily on its nature and wildlife, and it’s so crucial that travellers choose eco-friendly holidays to help preserve it. Thankfully, ecotourism in Africa exists on many levels all over the continent – from camping out under the stars in the Sahara to supporting grassroots initiatives in remote communities. Sign up for one of these small-group adventures with Culture Trip, all of which align with our responsible travel commitments, to make your ecotourism holiday in Africa a reality.

Epic Morocco
You’ll be immersed in culture and natural beauty from day one of this 11-day overland journey through Morocco. You’ll start by exploring Casablanca, Chefchaouen and Fes, and you’ll get invaluable cultural insight in the latter, when we go for a home-cooked dinner with a local family. Next up is the Sahara, where we’ll stop by a remote Gnawa village to learn about their spiritual music and dance, before heading to a luxurious desert camp for the evening. We’ll spend a night wine tasting and stargazing, before rising early for a sunrise camel ride. Up in the Atlas Mountains we’ll go on a guided hike and settle down for lunch with a local family before heading to our final destination, Marrakech, where an authentic Moroccan cooking class awaits.

Ultimate Egypt
We’re always trying to find ways of making our trips more sustainable, especially when it comes to the transport we use – check out our Rail Trips for an amazing collection of train-based itineraries, including one from Madrid to Morocco. Our Egypt trip isn’t part of that collection, but it does use alternative methods of transport to avoid long drives across the country. Having already explored Cairo and the ancient wonders of Giza, we’ll make the long journey south to Luxor via an overnight sleeper train. After one night at a hotel on the bank of the Nile, we’ll spend the rest of the trip using a river cruiser to go from Luxor to Aswan, stopping off to explore souks, tombs and temples, as well as a kayaking excursion down the Nile itself.
