Africa has become steadily more accessible for older travelers, with more lodges and tour operators now set up to make a safari more comfortable than it used to be.
Many safari camps offer vehicles with easier entry and exit, along with shorter drives and more frequent rest stops built into the day. Coastal cities in South Africa and Egypt combine major historic and cultural sights with reliable infrastructure and modern medical care nearby. Guided tours are widely available and popular with older travelers who would rather leave the logistics to someone else. A doctor's advice before the trip is worth getting, given the vaccination and health precautions that can apply to parts of the continent. Direct flights from major hubs also make reaching some of these destinations easier than it once was.
The destinations on our list for Africa combine wildlife travel with the more accessible, well supported cities elsewhere on the continent.
