Africa the world's second largest continent of the world is full of wonders that mesmerize travel lovers of the world. Africa is incredibly diverse with different cultures, languages, fauna, flora and topography in every individual country. The name Africa probably came from the word Afriwho were said to be early tribal folks who lived in North Africa. The northern part of the continent is mainly desert or arid, while its central and southern areas contain both savanna plains and dense forests. Africa boasts of large wild animal populations and aquatic life. |

Places to See: The scenic beauty in almost every country in Africa is simply superb but some sights truly stand out and are worth seeing. Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, lacing Zambia and Zimbabwe. The wide basalt cliff, over which the falls splatter, transforms the Zambezi from a serene beauty to a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges. The falls hiss and roar they rumble and crash like thunder. Vast clouds spew and billow out from the seething cauldron making a breathtaking spectacle. Egypt makes a grand destination for people interested in ancient civilizations. The Great Pyramid of Giza and tombs in Luxor and Abu Simbel built in honor of Egyptian pharaoh Khufu in 2650BC are really magnificent. |

Precautions: From luxurious five star hotels and the waterfront, to beachfront hotels with breathtaking sea and mountain views Africa boasts of some of the top holiday accommodations in the world. An African safari is a rewarding experience but certain measures should to be taken before availing a trip to major cities of Africa. Large amount of cash should not be taken while traveling. Valuables should be locked up in hotel safe deposit boxes. Walking alone at night should be avoided and while walking a close vigil should be kept on handbags, purses, wallets etc. A Yellow Fever Vaccination Card is required for entry into Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Malaria is endemic in many regions of sub-Saharan Africa. That is why a course of malaria prophylactics is advisable for all non-African visitors. Again terrorist activities have become dominant in many parts of Africa. The country that tops this list is Somalia, which has been without a central government for more than a decade since the death of dictator Siad Barre. Somalia has fallen into the hands of tribal leaders whose allegiances are often bought and sold. This has given rise to drastic terrorist activities in the state causing fear and bewilderment to the tourists. Reports have often claimed that terrorist operatives have been moving around the northern part of Nigeria. So before traveling to any countries of Africa get a first hand insight about the political, security and economic situation of that country.
