Africa’s amazingly varied wildlife would make dozens of visits worthwhile – what other place on Earth offers you the experience of falling asleep to the sound of lions roaring, or allows you the privilege of watching a million flamingos take flight from the glistening waters of a remote lake?

Parts of Africa possess spectacular scenery from the pyramids of Giza to the raw majestic beauty of Victoria Falls.

However the real beauty of Africa is the people. Their friendliness and exuberance infects so many travellers that they never stop coming back!

You can barter with Arabic merchants in the narrow streets of a Cairo Souk, dance along to reggae at a West African market, or chat with fishermen on an Indian Ocean beach. You will love the honesty, warm-heartedness and vitality of the African people.

You can also help the people of Africa while you are there through many voluntary organizations or just give to a charity based in one of the African nations you visit. Find out more about different African charities here Afican charities and voluntary organizations.
