Africa is an enormous continent, and it offers countless destinations worth
exploring. In a trip through Africa, you can meet the Masai Mara people in
Kenya, look out onto the plains of the Serengeti or relax on a tropical island.
Africa is diverse and beautiful, and there is no end to what you can see, do
and explore there. As you plan your next African journey, be sure to include at
least one from this list of best places to visit in Africa as your schedule
will allow.

1. Pyramids of Giza
We sometimes overlook how extraordinary the Pyramids of Giza are because
the image of them is commonplace today. The work of thousands and thousands of
laborers, the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
and they were known to the ancients as a Wonder of the World. The Giza Complex
just outside Cairo on the fringes of the Libyan Desert is sublime and
mysterious, built to house the dead pharaohs and all the items they would need
to rule the afterlife.
Just off the coast of Mozambique, and in the waters of the Indian Ocean, is
the island of Madagascar. While the island nation has a lot to do, see and
explore, a highlight is undoubtedly the Isalo National Park. Within the park,
you will have access to a wide range of terrain types. Be prepared to spot
enormous canyons, lush palm-tree oases and even unique sandstone formations.
The best way to see Isalo National Park is on a guided trek, and many people
opt for overnight camping to enhance the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A glorious little village on the coast of Tunisia that has attracted
writers and artists throughout the ages to inspire them with its beauty and
tranquility. The whole village is bedecked in a color scheme of whitewash walls
with blue doors and windows, which was instigated by the French artist Baron
Rodolphe D’Erlanger. Looking out over the sea, it is little wonder that the
likes of Matisse, Klee, Auguste Macke, Andre Gide and Simone de Beauvoir
flocked here
Table Mountain makes Cape Town, one of the world’s best beach cities, also
one of the world’s most photogenic.
Cable car rides are available to the top of the mesa, giving great views,
fantastic sunrises/sunsets and a great photo. Challenge: Try to limit yourself
to 50 pics.
Arguably one of the most amazing natural events in the world, the
Wildebeest Migration is an impressive movement to witness. The migration takes
place among the open plains of Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara of
Kenya.
Hundreds of thousands of the magnificent wildebeest and zebra move towards
greener pastures. The mass movement is a tense journey for the herbivores as
they are followed closely by various predators hoping to benefit from the
stragglers’ weaknesses.
Set on a rock, along the shores of Michanwi Pingwe beach in Zanzibar, Rock
Restaurant offers the finest cuisine and laid-back beauty that will take your
breath away. Visit: The Rock Restaurant
7. Knysna
Knysna is beautiful town located in the Garden Route of South Africa. It is
a beautiful place to visit and it features scenic attractions such as beautiful
beaches and lush forest vegetation. If you love a quiet but exciting vacation,
Knysna is a place to go.
A lesser-known beauty of the continent, Sossusvlei is a region of dry lake,
claypan and orange and red sand dunes in the Namibian desert which contrast so
crisply against the clear blue.
One of the world’s most majestic water spectacles, Victoria Falls (also
called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Cloud That Thunders) — were reportedly first seen
by a European when Scotsman David Livingstone journeyed here in 1855.
Since then thousands have enjoyed the spray from the 108-meter high
cascade, which was once recorded flowing at 12,800 cubic meters per second —
double that of Niagara’s highest flow.
The Island of Mozambique is an undiscovered jewel in Africa. The Island
lies off the Northern coast of Mozambique. It is known for its white coral
sand, crystal-clear water and coral reefs stretching along the Indian Ocean.
The island is breathtaking!
The most user-friendly part of the Sahara is accessible from the northern
edge of Morocco. You can trek with Berbers from the town of Zagoura, or camp
out in Tazzarine, where runners from all over the world complete the weeklong
Marathon des Sables every spring.
The foot of the Merzouga Dunes is the ultimate location for gazing at
stars, totally free of light pollution.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s answer to the Serengeti and it is spectacular. It
is actually connected to the Serengeti. When we took a hot air balloon over the
Masai Mara we actually landed in Tanzania.
During our safari in the Masai Mara, we saw all of the big 5 animals. It is
one of the most beautiful African Destinations.
Djenné in Mali is a remarkable site, composed up of thousands of adobe
buildings made from earth baked hard in the African sun and reinforced with
palm fronds. The ancient town dates back to the 3rd century and beyond, but it
really grew with the Saharan trade routes when slaves, gold and salt were
transported across the desert to the Levant. The unspoiled earth buildings,
particularly the Great Mosque built in 1907 by the French colonial authorities,
make Djenné a unique place to explore and to see. The Old Town is, of course,
another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The most Southerly of the continent’s great lakes, Lake Malawi straddles
the three countries of Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania and is surrounded by
unspoiled beaches and mountains on all sides. Home to crocodiles, hippos, and
other stunning wildlife, including some very rare fish, it is a wonder to
behold.
Chebika is a small mountain oasis town, located at the mountains of the
Djebel el Negueb. This town offers exciting adventures, beautiful views of the
mountain oasis and a chance to enjoy an authentic and magical African holiday.
