Offbeat Africa

Offbeat Africa invites travellers into the continent’s lesser-known, untouched, and quietly magnificent corners—those wild spaces where culture, wildlife, and landscapes remain beautifully authentic and largely unchanged by mainstream tourism. These journeys step away from the iconic circuits and instead reveal remote deserts, rainforest hideaways, island cultures, tribal traditions, volcanic highlands, salt pans, hidden wetlands, and wilderness regions where travellers can still feel the heartbeat of Africa at its most raw and intimate. From the surreal spiny forests of Madagascar and the forgotten river valleys of northern Kenya to Gabon’s lowland jungles, Zambia’s secret waterfalls, Mozambique’s untouched archipelagos, Ethiopia’s ancient highlands, and Namibia’s desert-ocean meeting points, offbeat Africa showcases a continent that is endlessly surprising, richly diverse, and filled with stories rarely captured on postcards.
