Even though Africa is older than recorded time, it still offers something new every day. Whether it’s a quiet sunset splayed over the Sahara or cacophony in the streets of Marrakech, countless unique experiences are at your fingertips. While areas of Africa are beset by many serious problems an AIDS crisis, starvation, and the Sudanese government sponsored genocide in Darfur the majority of Africa remains a beautiful haven of wildlife, friendly people, and scenery that envigorates the senses. From the ancient pyramids of Giza, Egypt, to the breezy port city of Cape Town, South Africa, this continent has a lot to offer those who travel there.
Egypt Africa offers many natural wonders, such as its landscape and plethora of amazing wildlife. But it also offers some manmade wonders that are just as mystical and awe inspiring. Case in point: the Egyptian pyramids. While Cairo is an overcrowded, noisy, and somewhat confusing city, it only takes 15 minutes to get from the heart of the sprawling metropolis to these ancient spectacles. In addition to the Great Pyramids at Giza, which is right outside of Cairo, the lesser known pyramids at Saqqara and Abu Sir are just a short distance from Cairo as well. There’s nothing quite as amazing as beholding the sight of these giant monoliths, created by what was once the world’s greatest empire. If you’re not sure about the best way to see them all, don’t worry; Remember Travel can set you up with an excellent and reputable tour company that will show you all the best sites.
Morocco On the other northern coast of Africa lies Morocco, a nation that is influenced as much by its Mediterranean surroundings as it influences the lands around it. It’s a place where the currents of Europe and Africa, Arab and Berber, Mediterranean and Atlantic swirl into one another. Yet in spite of the varied array of influences and landscapes or perhaps because of it—Morocco has remained a land that is unlike any other in the world. When you plan your trip to Morocco, make sure you include stays at two of its most famous cities and exciting cities: Marrakech and Casablanca.
South Africa In the decade and change in which South Africa has freed itself from the hypocrisy and bigotry of apartheid, it has exploded as a tourist destination and land of greater opportunity for those who live there. South Africa has exotic animals, wine valleys, beautiful beaches, and stunning scenery. Of course, it also has a Southern Hemisphere location that lets its European and American visitors exchange their cold winters for warm summers. Cape Town is South Africa's number one destination for international visitors, and its appeal is undeniable; it’s bustling with hip restaurants in all types of styles, trendy areas, and beautiful landscape. While you’re there, visit the broad and flat-topped Table Mountain, which is Cape Town's signature landmark. Obviously, Africa cannot be summed up in a few words. It’s a massive continent whose size in landmass is only surpassed by the vastness of its history and people.
