Africa in depth: A Closer Look at a Diverse Land

Posted by Gregg Hall | General | Wednesday 4 February 2009 4:55 am

With its overflowing diversity of 800 million inhabitants, speaking an estimated 1000 dialects in 54 countries, Africa is the second largest continent of the world. Often, Africa is associated with bad misconceptions, but it is actually a land of paradise offering non-stop adventure and sunny skies all year round. It’s an absolutely perfect holiday getaway for the entire family. Activities such as bush treasure hunts, whale study, horse-back riding, night drives, and immersion in local cultures would guarantee a fascinating experience for all the members of the family! African family safari is a great way to spend quality time—leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, breathing fresh air and feasting your senses on Africa. Definitely it is a great way to mix amusement and education.

Looking for a country proud of its independence since the start of time? A country hand picked for nature lovers that offer great sights of the Riff Valley lakes? A country where Blue Nile and Simien Mountain National Park is located, where baboons and more than 50 species of birds can be found? Then Ethiopia is the country to try. If architecture and endless desert is your cup of tea then Tunisia is the place to go. It offers a good number of tourist sites from Roman ruins, French-Colonial architecture to the Sahara Desert. Thriving fertile plains and oak forest make an interesting and surprisingly educational journey.

Seychelles, located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, offers tropical delight all year round. White, soft beaches lead to turquoise water and magnificent coral reefs, where you can enjoy surfing and snorkeling. Inland, thick forest is home to extinct wild animals. Botswana is famous for its diamond mines and the Kalahari Desert. Tourists can survey massive elephant herds roaming around Chobe National Park and discover the depths of Gchibaba caverns. Benin is a metropolitan city that offers tourists contemporary comfort. Night clubs and restaurants in de Dantokpa are located along voodoo potions shops.

Africa has limitless wonders to offer the world. Some wonders are yet to be discovered. So the next time you hear about Africa, think of all the wonderful sights prepared for you and your family. Never again should you restrict your imagination to only the African family safari as the only exciting activity for a group. Instead consider the white sand and turquoise beaches of Seychelles or ancient ruins of Roman in Tanzania or the rare animals indigenous to Africa.
