Africa is the second-largest continent in the world. With more than 54 countries, it’s a myriad of a variety of ethnic groups, making it a must-visit place for all travel enthusiasts. There is so much to do that a short vacation will not suffice. But, if you have time constraints, make sure you do the following to make the most of your time:
1. Go on a safari
Visiting Africa, without going to the Kruger National Park, is like going to a restaurant just to have some water. There are enough tours available through africanbudgetsafaris.com that will suit your pocket. You need not hire a full car if you are alone or only with your partner. Go on a shared jeep and explore the wild as the driver takes you into the open spaces where you can see mountain gorillas, cheetahs, leopards, lions, zebras, hyenas, and a variety of other animals. It’s an experience like none other. So, when in Africa, always go on a safari.
2. Try some wild adventures
Africa has no shortage of adventure activities. For those who love to get that adrenaline rush, bungee jump off a bridge with the Victoria Falls just by your side. It will freak you out. If you don’t want to risk a bungee jump, you can at least swim to the edge of the Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world. You can literally see the rainbow just above your head from here.
3. Go hiking
If you love hiking, Africa will not disappoint you with its locations. There are several mountains you can target, such as the Drakensberg Mountains, Atlas Mountains, Mount Kenya, and Mount Kilimanjaro. Some of them are suitable for a half-day trek, while some of the others may take longer. So, plan your hike and take enough food and clothing according to the number of days you will be away.
4. Relax on the beach
If you truly want to relax on a beach with hardly a few people around, head south into Africa’s east coast. You get not only idyllic budget huts in Zanzibar but also luxurious private islands in Seychelles. With palm-fringed beaches in the background and aqua blue water in the front, the view is nothing short of heavenly.
5. Go on a culinary tour
Culinary tours give you an opportunity to understand the history and culture of Africa. South Africa and Morocco have two of the most delicious cuisines in the world. Your culinary tour will include learning new recipes, shopping ingredients from local markets, tasting a variety of food in local restaurants, and visiting the places where the locals make the ingredients. Make sure you try the local delicacies wherever you visit. Some of the local beer and wine are so tasty that you would like to have a few more glasses instantly.
Now that you have a concrete plan of your tour to Africa, what are you waiting for? Book the tickets, pack your bags, and set off to the second-largest continent. It has got tons of things to explore.
