Places to Visit in Africa

Africa is a vast and diverse continent. It is also one of the earliest inhabited continents, which has it the nicknames “Mother Continent” and “Cradle of Mankind”. As such, Africa has untold treasures to reveal to you if you decide to take your time exploring the continent. From diverse and beautiful landscapes to stunning wild animals, ancient ruins, beautiful cultures, tasty delicacies, and more, there are many things to enjoy while visiting Africa. Below is a look at some of the top places to visit in Africa if you are looking to enjoy these treasures.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya

The Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is one of the best places to visit in Africa. The reserve is a paradise that boasts of breathtaking natural scenery and vibrant local culture. It is also a home to a myriad of wild animals, including the Big Five. The Reserve also connects with the Serengeti National Park in the neighboring Tanzania, which creates the perfect destination for wild safaris. It is here that you can enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of witnessing the Great Migration of wildebeests, an event that has since been designated as one of the wonders of the world.

The Pyramids of Egypt

Egypt is another one of the leading Africa tourist places. The country has lots of attractions, from fascinating history and historic ruins to beautiful culture, natural attractions, coral reefs and luxurious beach resorts, and more. The Egyptian icons, which are commonly referred to as the Pyramids of Giza are one of the oldest wonders of the ancient world. The pyramids (three in total) were built around 2550 and 2490 BC and they served as the burial grounds of Egyptian Pharaohs.

The Victoria Falls

The Victoria Falls in Zambia is another leading tourist destination in Africa. They are the largest waterfalls in the world, with more than 600 million liters of water falling over the edge each minute during the rainy season. The massive force of the water, as it hits the surface creates a loud roar that can be heard from several miles away.

The Okavango Delta in Botswana

The Okavango Delta in Botswana is another one of the top places to see in Africa. It is one of the largest inland deltas in the world, covering an area of more than 17,000km. In Botswana, these waters flow into the plains of the Kalahari Desert, where they pass through old hippo paths, palm groves, and papyrus swamps. This creates one of the most beautiful landscapes in Africa – a perfect home for wild animals.

Due to its vast size and breathtaking landscapes, there are lots of places to visit in Africa. This makes it one of the top tourist destinations for expert travelers, as well as people just looking for an escape from their busy lives. Whether you are looking to see wild animals, explore different landscapes, interact with people from various cultures, enjoy delicious cuisines, and much more, Africa is the place to go.

Anshul's 14 days trip to Africa

Excellent trip organized by Shashank (Travel Lykee) and Travel Triangle. We thoroughly enjoyed our travel and came home with tons of good memories.

Sayantan's 6 days trip to Africa

Our SA agent Southern Africa 360 has created a tailor made personalised tour experience. Our expectations from this tour was exceeded in every measure. Trevlyn has been extremely responsive in our communication and promptly assisted us with any question we had in our mind. From arranging the activities to the amazing stay, she managed it all so well. The breakfast included in the hotel was the best part to the stay. From the pickup to drop-off, Nigel was the best tour guide anyone could have asked for. He ensured we are always aware of the culture and beauty of Cape Town, gave us amazing recommendations all around and above all ensured our fast paced plan was executed to perfection. We managed to do Cape Town city tour, Table mountains, Kayaking in the ocean, Kirstenbosch gardens, VA waterfront, Helicopter ride, Wine tasting tour all in 3 days thanks to his impeccable service. Will highly recommend them to anyone planning to come down to South Africa. The reason we are giving poor score to Travel Triangle is because of our hassles with Indian agent Tripmarket. We expected far better service and planning. Our visa application process was long drawn with constant back and forth and delayed unclear communication. We had to constantly chase down around the process. Most communication showed lack of knowledge, was not on time and that leads to a poor customer experience. The initial hotel that was offered to us was in an extreme unsafe locality, which thankfully we caught on time and asked for an alternative. Similar feedback around the activities that were offered on initial mails, as we had to come up with our own research and recommendations. We had to loop in Mr Jibin from Travel Triangle and he ensured that our frustrating booking experience comes to a halt. Credit where it is due, Tripmarket tweaked our trip to needs post our recommendation, ensured the visa process was done on time once the documents were shared and hooked us with a really good South Africa agent. So if you do go ahead with Tripmarket, please ensure you do due diligence before locking on the trip and expect to put in your own effort for the perfect trip.

Pabbakrishnamohan's 8 days trip to Africa

What a trip this was! I'm so glad we chose Plan Your Destination on Travel Triangle. We were a group of 5 and we all had an amazing time. Kenya is a beautiful place and to enjoy that beauty you need people who know the place and also know your requirements. Mr.Sandeep did a wonderful job of communicating everything to us beforehand and taking care of our requirements. Our tour guide Antony was also so much fun to be with throughout our trip. He was fantastic at finding the animals and taking us to them. We saw a faceoff between cheetahs and hyneas and a lion hunt in Masai Mara. The places we stayed also were very good except for one place in Masai which was a bit far from the game drive but otherwise everything was so perfect. Naivasha hands down is the best part of the whole trip. It was for me like a paradise on Earth with all the animals in one place and we walking among them like it's our home too. For the whole time I was there I felt like I was in a magical land which it is actually! A trip to Kenya without Naivasha is definitely incomplete.

FAQ's of Africa

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

While countries like Morocco or Egypt in northern Africa should be visited in the winter season, southern Africa should be visited in summer—when game viewing is at its best.

Avoid traveling to countries with political issues or civilian unrest. Follow news updates and get travel insurance before visiting the continent. 

Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, and Namibia are popular countries to visit in Africa.

Depending on your destination, your options may vary. For instance, it’s easier to find a five or four-star resort in a city than in the Sahara Desert. 

The language difference is hardly an issue in African countries. One may encounter language barriers in remote places like game reserves. 

The countries in Africa which are best for safari are Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
