Wellness
Africa offers countless opportunities to pause. After a morning in the bush, an open-air spa overlooks a busy waterhole where hippos while away the hours. Elsewhere, the cool shade of a centuries-old Moroccan courtyard provides welcome refuge from the afternoon sun, its fountains and fragrant citrus gardens offering a quiet contrast to the bustle beyond its walls. Luxuriate with a massage beneath the shade of an acacia tree before settling beside a swimming pool where elephants come to drink, or linger over a cup of mint tea at a café in Marrakesh as the afternoon slips quietly by. Across Africa, luxury is measured as much by atmosphere as by comfort. An aperitif around the campfire, accompanied by the distant whoops of hyenas beneath a starlit sky, is every bit as memorable as an evening in a North African medina, where the call to prayer carries gently across the rooftops. It is often these quieter moments that stay with you the longest.
