There's so much to see and do in Africa and there are many opinions about which are the most important and popular, but a shortlist would most likely include:
The snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, which rises straight up out of the African savannah in Tanzania. It is the world's tallest walkable mountain. Routes vary in degree of difficulty, traffic and scenic beauty. The least difficult routes are Marangu and Rongai; the more difficult routes are Machame, Shira and Limosho.
The Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls is 1,708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute.
Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya where you can watch the annual migration of millions of zebra and wildebeest. The reserve is situated in the Rift Valley with Tanzania's Serengeti Plains running along its southern end. The Mara River runs through the reserve (north to south) hosting plenty of hippos and crocodiles.
The Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the world's oldest tourist attractions and the reason most people visit Egypt today.
Fes (Fez), Morocco's oldest Imperial city, and its Medina (old town) now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Medina is called Fes el-Bali and is a medieval walled city just teeming with life in every one of its 9000 narrow streets. Fes is the cultural and spiritual capital of Morocco and you'll certainly experience its vibrancy.
Cape Town in South Africa, it is the most cosmopolitan of all Africa's cities. Its location is stunningly beautiful and you can wine, dine, swim, sunbathe, see whales, sharks, penguins and climb mountains all within an hour's drive.
Other popular attractions include: the River Nile; the Sahara, Kalahari and Namibia Deserts; the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa; the Serengeti Plains and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania; the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the world's largest inland delta; the many National Parks with amazing wildlife; Timbuktu in central Mali with its magnificent mud architecture - the list is almost endless.
