Top Activities To Do in Africa

April 16, 2021 by Alison Leave a Comment

Africa is the second-largest continent in the world. It has 54 countries, different cultures and languages, a variety of landscapes, and unique ethnic groups. If you need a vacation that is different from what you are used to, plan a trip to Africa and broaden your horizons. It is impossible to do everything that Africa has to offer, so this article gives you the top activities that you can tick off your bucket list when visiting. 

Go on a Safari 

It is not every day that you get the chance to see the Big Five in person. The Big Five compromises the five most iconic animals in Africa. They include the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. The word “safari” means “to journey” in Swahili. Going on a wildlife safari is one of the biggest tourist attractions that Africa can offer. In Uganda, you can track endangered mountain gorillas in the rainforest or witness the Great Migration of the wildebeest from a hot air balloon. 

Hike a Mountain 

Africa offers lovely hiking and trekking opportunities. Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and Morocco’s Atlas Mountains are the obvious choices for mountain-climbing fanatics. The view you have when reaching the top might just be one of the most beautiful things your eyes will ever see. If you do not feel the need to conquer a mountain, consider walking through the famous South Luangwa National Park. 

Volunteer 

Africa is known as an underdeveloped continent, and you can make a big difference in people’s lives by doing some volunteer work. Spend time teaching, working, and living amongst a community that will make you appreciate every culture and not take your life back home for granted. This is a very spiritual and educational activity, and you can learn much about yourself by spending time with people who are the total opposite of you. There is a program that helps build schools for girls in Africa, so if you are a lover of education and would like to make a difference, partake in these charitable programs. 

Discover The History 

This is for the truth seekers and people who are in love with stories of history. The evolution of man is said to have started in Africa, Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge. If you are interested in man’s bipedal ancestors, make sure to cross paths with this destination. From visiting the Pyramids in Egypt to the imperial cities of Fez and Marrakech in Morocco and exploring Ethiopia’s mountains to see Coptic churches, this is only a tiny part of all the history that Africa can offer you. 

The best thing to do when visiting a foreign country is to purchase a gift that will remind you of your adventures. Visit markets and bazaars to see local artists at work while gaining insight into their culture and food. By shopping locally, you are also supporting their economy. Africa is a must-see continent, and you may really feel as if you are living in another world.
