Check out some of these not-to-miss sights before you plan your African expedition!

South Africa

South Africa is a popular destination for many reasons, one of them being Table Mountain. This flat-top mountain offers a view that can’t be beaten, overlooking the thriving city of Cape Town, South Africa. There are over 300 trails that lead adventurous hikers to the top of the mountain, or, if you’d rather relax and enjoy the scenery, Table Mountain also has a cableway to transport you to the top. Table Mountain is something you don’t want to miss on your South African adventure!

Botswana

Botswana is known as one of Africa’s most popular safari destinations. Home to the Kalahari Desert, Chobe National Park, and the Okavango Delta, this country is full of fantastic tourist destinations.

Experience the magical feeling of riding through the Kalahari watching elephants play around in the water and lions strut around the desert. You’ll be amazed at the liveliness this country has to offer. Make Botswana a top-of-the-list destination for your next trip!

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is another beautiful landlocked country in Africa, known for a similar climate and ecosystem as Botswana and South Africa. Zimbabwe is full of national parks, reserves, and waterways. Victoria Falls is a waterfall located on the Zambezi River (between Zimbabwe and Zambia) that offers exhilarating experiences for the adventurous soul like bungee-jumping and white water rafting. Further down along the base of the waterfall, is a section where hippos and rhinos bathe. Experience the time of your life in a gorgeous setting alongside some of the world’s most interesting wildlife.
