For many potential travellers to the African continent, the choice of destinations which they can visit may not seem that large. When we see Africa on TV it can be a continent we associate with famine, civil war and political corruption. This is obviously not unfounded, but it should not colour your view of how accessible Africa is and what a wonderful alternative experience it can be. Rich in culture, scenery and wildlife, Africa is a unique experience.
The immediately obvious choices anyone looking to go to Africa are the more developed states. South Africa is a safe and popular tourist hot spot. The Victoria Falls, Cape Town and the Kruger national park are all once in a lifetime experiences.
North Africa is very popular with UK travellers due to its cheap prices and mainstream resorts. It has a warm climate all year round and has rich history – The Egyptian Pyramids, Carthage etc. Egypt and Morocco are ever popular. They are a taste of African life with all of the European type holiday resort comforts.
Central Africa starts to become a bit more volatile so destinations are less abundant. Kenya is a country that is perfect for those that enjoy wildlife. Many travel agents will direct you here for safari holidays.
The diversity of extraordinary creatures that roam the Kenyan plains is a sight to behold. To see some of nature’s mightiest creatures in their natural environment must be awe inspiring. The Savannahs, the Rift Valley and the vast desolate beauty of the plains are an awe inspiring sight.
Just beyond Kenya, on Tanzanian border, you can see the natural wonder of Mount Kilimanjaro. Nobody could fail to be moved by the awesome splendour of this mountain and you can partake in one of the many trails leading up the mountain.
Travelling in Africa is an unconventional but eye opening experience. It has the most natural diversity in the world and delivers an experience that no other continent on earth can match.
