New year is coming It’s time to start a new travel plan! Africa is so big. Where should I go? We selected 9 beautiful African attractions No matter which, each one will make your trip to Africa worth while Coming down, you will never regret it!
1. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s most famous attraction, is located in Tanzania. The mountain is 5892 meters high and although it is located on the equator, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. It is endearingly known as the “roof of Africa” . Unfortunately though, global warming has become more severe in recent years. As a result, the snowy peaks at the top of Kilimanjaro have also been fading bit by bit every year. If you want to capture this intoxicating snow capped scenery, hurry over before it dries up!
However, if you are more daring, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a more rigorous and unique experience. It is the highest mountain in Africa and it graces you with layers of environmental diversity all the way to the top. From the foot of the mountain, you may experience different scenes such as tropical rain forests, alpine grasslands, alpine deserts, and you can enjoy the grassland scenery under the mountain. Of course, the biggest reaching the summit!
NB: In addition to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania’s Serengeti steppe , Ngorongoro crater , Lake Manyara and other attractions are worth visiting, you can join in after climbing / viewing Mt Kilimanjaro . If you have enough time, you can also pop in to Zanzibar Island , with its pristine beaches and serene modest lifestyle .

2.Kenya- the great migration crossing heaven
Every July and August, the most spectacular on going sight within the African continent is the crossing of hordes of the different species of the animal kingdom migrating to and from Kenya and Tanzania . The most popular animals in this event are the wildebeest who often move as an army from the Serengeti steppe in Tanzania to the Mara River in Kenya.
For many wildebeests, the Mara River brings to both salvation and peril all in one. This is mainly because, just two or three months after birth, the little wildebeest will have to face the turbulent waters of the Mara River independently.
In addition, they discover the danger and fear of predators such as the crocodiles lurking in the water waiting for an opportunity to attack. The challenge is crossing the river to literally reach the ‘greener grass on the other side’ . NB : After watching the crossing in Kenya, you can visit the nearby Masai people’s residence.
3. Lake Bogoria- Heaven/Hell
Here nature will show its hottest side. The flamingos of Lake Bogoria are beautiful to view.
Similarly majestic are the red elephants of Tsavo , and if you want to see Mount Kilimanjaro, you can go to Amboseli Lake , this is the best place to watch the mountains ~
Recommendation : ★★★★★
4. Tunisia-blue and white town
Whose real name is compared to the Sidi Bou virtue , blue and white town of that name down better known. If you must choose the most beautiful and romantic town in North Africa, then the blue and white towns must be on the shortlist. In fact, some years back, “National Geographic” listed it as one of the top ten romantic towns in the world . The blue-and-white town is 20 kilometers north of Tunis, the capital of the North African country Tunisia, and borders the Mediterranean Sea. This cliff-side town was built by medieval Spanish refugees, so the town’s style is also full of southern Andalusian style.
In the eyes of Tunisians, blue symbolizes peace and stability, and white symbolizes purity . In 1916, the local government issued a document stating that houses built in the town can only be used in blue and white. For hundreds of years, people here have adhered to this rule, and they have what the blue and white town looks like today.
Sit in the outdoor cafe on the top of the town, come for a cup of light and fragrant mint tea, look at the blue and white town in the distance, and feel the cool sea breeze blowing from the Mediterranean Sea. Have this in your life, do nothing NB : Tunisia is known as the European back garden. The ruins of Carthage , the red lizard train , the Sahara desert , the Arabian style and the Mediterranean scenery are all classics not to be missed. After all, Tunisia is one of the most tourist-rich countries in North Africa.
Recommendation : ★★★★
5. Table Mountain, South Africa
With Table Mountain, Cape Town. It was Table Mountain that blocked the cold wind from the Southwest Atlantic, which made Cape Town a city with a mild four-season climate and attracted countless people to settle here. It is hard to imagine that there are such strangely shaped mountains in the world. From a distance, the top of the mountain seems to have been cut off artificially with a knife, showing an incredible flatness. Sometimes the wind blows clouds and mist from the sea, covering the entire Table Mountain like a huge tablecloth. No wonder it’s called “Table Mountain.”
Some people say that the reason why Table Mountain is so flat is that it is the dining table of God. Come to think of it, God must be a romantic person, so I choose to eat in a place facing the sea and spring flowers. The best way to go to Table Mountain is to take a ropeway .
At the top of the mountain, if you have enough guts, you can still stay until the sun goes down and the lanterns rise. At that time, you can enjoy the night view of Cape Town, one of the world’s three largest night views . NB: South Africa scenery, half in Cape. When you come to South Africa, even if you just play Cape Town, it is basically enough . Whale watching , shark watching , seal island , penguin beach , local wineries to taste the world’s top wine. If you can think of the high-force gameplay, Cape Town can give you!
Recommendation : ★★★★
5.Egypt Pyramid
The pyramid, one of the eight wonders of the world, and one of the most prestigious African attractions . When Egypt’s tourism industry was in full swing, countless people went to Cairo just to feel the charm of ancient Egyptian civilization under the pyramid. The best place to see the pyramids is Giza on the outskirts of Cairo . Here are three of the world’s largest pyramids, one of which is the famous Khufu Pyramid; another great pyramid viewing point is located in the ancient city of Memphis , southwest of Cairo , where the pyramids are most concentrated.
Imagine riding a camel through the desert to a mountain-like pyramid, the setting sun hangs to the west, and the wind blows yellow sand across your face. The heaviness of time will make you feel the weight of civilization. NB : In addition to the pyramids, there are many places in Egypt, the Valley of the Kings , the Sphinx , and the Aswan Dam . Canoe on the Nile , find snacks on the streets of Cairo , live like a local, orsunbathe on the Red Sea and snorkel and explore the coral reefs. If there are scenery, there must be humanities, and Egypt is so charming!
Recommendation : ★★★★★
6.Djema Square , Morocco
Like Tunisia, Morocco is also one of the ancient civilizations of North Africa, and its tourism resources are also rich. Tunisia has blue and white towns, and Morocco has Djima Square . Djima Square is located in Marrakesh, the ancient city of Morocco. Here, its most attractive is its night market . From 1050 AD, the night market on De Jima Square appeared. For more than a thousand years, the night market on the square has never changed its prosperity. If you want to see the most earthly Arab daily life, then you must come to Djima Plaza.
Dejima Square is not very busy during the day. As the sun goes down, the number of hawkers and tourists on the square will increase. Those who sell all kinds of Arabic food that spray incense; those who play flutes and snakes; those who buy and sell various spices; those who tell stories and tell stories … all kinds of things you have seen and never seen will be staged in turn on Djima Square. Before you come to Dejima Square, it’s better to review “One Thousand and One Nights” again .
When you come to Dejima, you will find that the characters and legends in the book are not fictional. Now they all appear before your eyes. Little cloth small recommendation: Morocco’s tourism resources are also rich. In Morocco, there are four major imperial cities : the ancient cultural capital “Fez” , the “red city” of Marrakesh , the holy Islamic city of Meknes , and the garden city of Rabat . Beyond that, there are stories full of Casablanca , the Sahara Desert . Come to Morocco, you can’t finish shopping in ten days!

7.Okavango Delta, Botswana
The Okavango Delta is not located by the sea, but is located inland in Africa. The Okavango River, which originated from the Angola Plateau, has not found the ocean after hard work, but has been wandering inland in southern Africa, forming the world’s largest inland delta: the Okavango Delta. Okavango is known as the best region in the world for primitive ecological protection . The abundance of water attracts all kinds of animals. There are millions of fish in the water, lurking in the lush waterweeds; hundreds of species of birds appear from time to time in the sky. Of course, the most attractive is the various terrestrial animals that inhabit the swamps. Everything here is so unique.
Here, you can follow the canoe of the locals through the delta area, or you can take a helicopter or fixed-wing plane to glimpse the magical landscape of the delta from above. The most exciting gameplay is riding through the swamp, which is more fun than being a cowboy in the west! NB: Botswana is a country with excellent ecological environment. In addition to the Okavango Swamp, there are also Makadika Salinas and Chobe National Park worth your visit, where you can see the indigenous Bushman, the cute bonito, and the boundless saline-alkali desert And countless elephants. For Botswana, highly recommended!
Recommendation: ★★★★★
8. Whale Bay, Namibia
In our imagination, the place near the sea should be full of water vapor and rich in precipitation. However, in Whale Bay in Namibia, there is one of the driest deserts in the world-the Namib Desert . Elsewhere, it is difficult to imagine such a scenario. Next to the ocean is the desert, and next to the desert is the ocean. If you can’t stand the hot sun in the desert, take a walk on the beach and feel the cool touch brought by the cold sea water.
Whale Bay has a lot of entertainment facilities. There are shark watching activities on the sea , sand washing activities on the land , and in the sky, you can also experience skydiving, hot air ballooning and other activities. Not far from Whale Bay, there are hundreds of thousands of seals and sea lions, which is quite a spectacular sight. Travelling to Whale Bay can be said to be an all-round entertainment of sea, land and air. NB: Namibia is rich in tourism resources. In addition to Whale Bay, others such as Death Valley , Red Sand Dunes , Fish River Grand Canyon , Etosha National Park, etc. are worth visiting. Come to this country, you can just play it, anyway, you ca n’t finish it ~

9.Zimbabwe / Zambia Victoria Falls
When it comes to Central and South Africa, the most spectacular sight is definitely the Victoria Falls at the junction of Zimbabwe and Zambia. In these two countries, other attractions can be missed, except for the Victoria Falls, which cannot be bypassed in any case. There are three great waterfalls in the world, one of which is Victoria Falls.
The water volume of the waterfall is extremely large, reaching 5,000 cubic meters per second, and the transpiration water mist can be seen from ten kilometers away. The locals marveled at the magnificent sound of the Victoria Falls and named it “Thunderbolt Fog” , which is quite appropriate. NB: Many people have heard of the Victoria Falls, but do not know that the Zambezi River upstream of the waterfall is also very beautiful. After watching the waterfall, if you have nothing to do, you can experience some extreme sports near the waterfall , and then take a boat to the upper reaches of the Zambezi River. The scenery along the way will definitely surprise you!
