The mysterious yet famous continent of Africa is now becoming more and more popular to visit. Many choose to Travel to Africa for its wildlife and astounding natural scenery, its varied and rich culture, bustling cities and gorgeous coast. Each country in Africa has its own identity to explore.
North Africa is the most visited area on the continent at the moment, as it is close to Europe, and so easier to get to. North Africa, which consists of such countries as Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, is more of an Arab area that an African area, and is full of ancient history.
Close to the centre of the country, towards the east, are the famous safari countries. Travel to Africa to go on safari and witness the amazing African animals in their natural habitat, including lions, elephants and zebras. The best safari countries are Kenya and Tanzania.
In the far south of Africa is the huge country, South Africa. South Africa is well known for its tumultuous political past, but now is also known for its beautiful eastern coast and Cape Town and Johannesburg which are full of nightlife, shopping areas and history.
For places off the beaten track when you Travel to Africa, try to visit such countries as those in the northwest, such as Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Here you can truly get a taste of African culture without the large resorts and hotels. Another place not often visited, but astounding is the island of Madagascar off the eastern coast.
