Top 10 Attractions In Africa
by Francois L. Botha
1. MOUNT KILIMINJARO – TANZANIA
The highest mountain on the African
continent, ‘Kili’ measures an astounding
19,340 feet at her highest point. The
challenge to climb this majestic mountain has
lured many to scale her heights, a demanding
but worthwhile ascent by most accounts. Kili,
which has five distinct ecological zones, is an
extinct volcano.
2. OKAVANGO DELTA - BOTSWANA
The champagne-coloured waterways of this
famous floodplain form the basis of a pristine
Wetland of International Importance
(RAMSAR). With some of the most fantastic
birding globally and a wild dog population, the
largest inland delta in the world is often called
Africa’s most beautiful destination. The region
can be explored by land, boat and air. Enjoy
the spectacular diversity of flora and fauna
species.
3. THE EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS
Easily the most recognizable of the 7
Wonders of the World, the Egyptian Pyramids
have long held fascination for thousands of
people. Recent resurgence of interest
Egyptology has made trips to this alluring
destination more popular than ever. The
majority of visitors view the pyramids at Giza.
The origins of these majestic structures
continue to be a source of lively debate, while
the stories of ancient curses and grave
robbers delight us all.
4. PONTA DO OURO – MOZAMBIQUE
With around 100 Bottlenose and Spinner
dolphins making the sheltered waters of
Ponta du Ouro their home, this region is
definitely worth visiting. Dive the reefs to 40
metres in depth; they are teeming with a
rainbow of marine life. Dolphin dives are a
popular while in winter the haunting call of
the humpback whale can be heard.

5. KRUGER NATIONAL PARK - SOUTH AFRICA
The oldest, most established reserve in Africa, the Kruger boasts an amazing variety of game and
bird life throughout its numerous habitats. The fantastic opportunities to view the Big Five draw
many visitors to the park, hoping to spot lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and black rhinoceros. Game
drives and guided walking trails offer great animal watching opportunities in the African bush.
6. DJEMAA el FNAA SQUARE – MARRAKESH – MOROCCO
A tapestry of colours, smells, sites and wonderful local characters make a visit to this bustling
marketplace an unforgettable experience. Be entertained by fortune tellers, street performers and
henna women. The Municipal Market sells local fresh produce. Take a ride in a Horse-drawn carriage
and enjoy the spectacular sunset. More performers come out in the evening and entertain till
midnight. Enjoy the famous local orange juice or mint tea!
7. THE SERENGETI - TANZANIA
The Serengeti National Park, covering 14,763 sq. km, is named ‘endless plains’ in Masai. Here are 35
species of mammals, including wildebeest, zebra, lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant and giraffe, and
over 200 species of birds.
The annual wildebeest migration is possibly the most spectacular natural event in Africa.
8. THE VICTORIA FALLS – ZIMBABWE
From either Zimbabwe or Zambia you can experience the world’s largest sheet of falling water. The
spray can be seen up to 30 kilometres away - hence the local name ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - "The smoke
that thunders".
Apart from the spectacular views including permanent rainbows arcing across the face of the falls,
one can experience the waters along the river at closer quarters with white water rafting.
9. LAKE MALAWI
The 3rd largest lake in Africa is a tropical paradise. The tranquil waters lap against shores lined with
palm, mango, banana and avocado trees. Here you can kayak, while snorkeling offers access to the
colourful kaleidoscope of endemic cichlids found at this UNESCO world heritage site.
10. TABLE MOUNTAIN – SOUTH AFRICA
This iconic landmark stands in the centre of the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Climb, or experience the wonders of the revolving cable car. Either way a visit to one of the most
recognizable mountains in the world is a must for your trip around the great African continent. And
while you’re there, enjoy the wonders of Cape Town –beaches, winelands, Robben Island – each
one a ‘Top 10’ in its own right!
