Casablanca<- ->Nairobi (EBN)

Overview

91 days between Casablanca and Nairobi or vice versa...

For lovers of Egyptology, Egypt without Sudan is like bread without butter. The Nubian Pharaohs' came from Sudan and they established the Kush kingdom along the Nile between Khartoum and Aswan. Our journey takes us up the Nile from Egypt through this remote desert. We mingle with the camel herders and farmers who live along the green belt of the river and explore this enigmatic area. Then throw into the mix a circuit of the historic Highlands of Ethiopia and add in Morocco and the Atlas Mountains and you have probably the most comprehensive adventure tour in North Africa. In Ethiopia, we travel across the roof of Africa, hiking in the Simien Mountains, marvelling at the ancient Christian and biblical relics and discovering one of Africa's most historic nations. We then head south through the tribal lands of southern Ethiopia and onto East Africa and its famous national parks in Kenya.
