Add Africa to Your Travel Plans!
Africa is an incredible and beautiful continent. There is so much wildlife and culture. You may know Africa as the adventurer’s destination for climbing Kilimanjaro or going on a safari. Those are great experiences, but they are not the only things Africa has to offer. Did you know that it is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches? Or how about being able to explore the world’s largest desert? While you’re there, include a safari tour in your travel plans. Go see Africa’s top five animals; lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo. There is so much to see and experience in Africa. Here are three reasons to make Africa your next travel destination:
1.Safari Tours
We can’t have talked about Africa without mentioning an African Safari. You’ve likely heard about them before, but do you know what a safari actually entails? There are many different types of safari tours located in many different parts of Africa. Did you know there are water-based safari tours where you can experience Africa by boat? Since Africa is so big, where do you start? Kenya is a great place to go on safari. There are many options to choose from including going on a private safari tour or a group tour. You have multiple options on where to camp and what level or luxury you will experience while camping. Then you get to pick your tour destinations. No matter what safari itinerary you choose, you will get to see some spectacular sites and encounter some amazing wildlife.
2.Visit the Desert
If you’re from a cooler country, then visiting a desert can be quite the experience. Africa doesn’t just have the largest desert in the world, the Sahara, but it also has the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert. Some safaris will include visiting the desert. If you prefer to do this one separately, there are multiple travel companies offering desert tours. In Morocco, you can even explore the Sahara Desert while riding on the back of a camel!
3.Stay in the City
Africa may seem like a travel destination that’s exclusively for daring explorers. That’s not entirely true! Africa has many vibrant cities to explore. An important city you may have heard of is Cape Town, South Africa. Cape Town is right on the Atlantic Ocean. The city also offers long beautiful beaches, and hiking, and amazing botanical gardens for nature lovers. You can also go on a tour to visit the wild African Penguins! If you really are more of a city slicker then Marrakesh, Morocco is the place for you. History fills the walls of the ancient city. You can spend your day exploring the marketplaces and discovering traditional Moroccan goods.
These are just a few of the amazing experiences you can have when you travel to Africa. There are more incredible cities, unique animals, and amazing sights that can fit in one article. Find out for yourself! Plan your trip to Africa today!
