Considering Africa is the second largest and the second most populous continent—boasting 54 countries that are speaking over 2,100 languages—by more than 3,000 different ethnic groups, you just might just say it is the most diverse continent on the planet—and we are just talking about the people!
Africa’s natural world is just as diverse. This is the only place in the world where you can see the Big Five in their natural habitat and witness such spectacles as goats hanging out in trees or crocodiles that are as long as 30 people standing shoulder to shoulder. Seriously!
Of course, the stunning landscapes are just as spectacular, and the array of geographical features found within Africa lend to a variety of climates which makes it easy to always find somewhere to go.
Travels In Africa Are Diverse
North Africa takes you from the Mediterranean coast to sweeping sand dunes and islands you may have never thought of going to places like Madiera. Morocco is Africa’s most visited country, and for good reasons. For starters, it is likely the easiest country to deal with when considering visas. Still, spreading your wings in the north is easy to do and there are many other destinations to explore too. The Sahara extends into eleven countries with no shortage of exciting adventures—and who doesn’t have Egypt on their bucket list?
West Africa is certainly ripe for exploration and places like Senegal and The Gambia are increasing in popularity for their sweeping beaches, incredible wildlife and intriguing cultural experiences like nowhere else in Africa. Voodoo much?
East Africa is truly the stuff of dreams, especially if you are planning for an incredible safari experience. There is nothing like experiencing the annual Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya. Getting off the beaten path here will pay off in spades for those seeking places where you can avoid the crowds any times of the year. Soul Free Travels loves finding these sort of treasures and we highly recommend places like Akagera National Park in Rwanda or considering Burundi for its amazing cultural experiences.
Central Africa holds some of the continent’s best kept secrets. For curious and adventurous travelers, visiting somewhere like Equatorial Guinea could be one of those life changing experiences where you will find beauty in completely unexpected ways and come out of Africa re-thinking life.
Last and definitely not least, there is Southern Africa. From epic safaris through places like Botswana and South Africa—both on and off the water, to the abundant natural environments filled with extraordinary wildlife and captivating cities. This wonderful group of countries will leave you wishing you had more time to explore and you will be planning your next trip before you even leave.
