Other natural wonders include the Nile, the world’s longest river which connects Egypt to Burundi. Then, there is the Victoria’s Falls, one of the world’s captivating sights, in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Mountain climbers hit Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tazmania and water lovers soak themselves in the Indian Ocean or the Red Sea. For an extraordinary diving experience, try South Africa’s “shark dives” and be in the midst of sharks. The cable car ride in Cape Town’s Cable Mountain mixes scenic view, freezing temperature, and height for a one of a kind adrenalin-rush.
Man-made wonders are also found in Africa like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Century-old Swahili structures like Pillar Tombs and Gedi Ruin showcase a blend of African and Islamic architectures. Tunisia is home to the famous Roman structures in Carthage. Meanwhile, for some shopping, find jewels and other items in the souqs of Marrakech and daze at the sky amidst colonial structures in Casablanca.
