Africa \u2013 It\u2019s Bigger than You Think<\/p>\n

\nAnimal Attractions and Safaris:<\/strong><\/em>
\nTanzania<\/strong> \u2013 Join a Migration!
\nFrom zebras to wildebeest, these wild animals are always on the move. You can join the herd by booking a trip in September. First stop? The Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. If June is more your speed, book a safari down the Serengeti via the Ngoro Ngoro Reserve in Tanzania.
\nRwanda<\/strong> – Mountain Gorillas
\nEnjoy spectacular trees and brush, as well as some of the world\u2019s most majestic mammals by visiting the Rwanda rainforest. Tour guides can get you close up and personal with mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
\nKenya<\/strong> – Rhinos at Solio Reserve
\nRhinos are incredibly rare. See them for yourself in the Solio Reserve. Located in in the valley of Mount Kenya and the high mountains of Aberdare, this reserve is home to around 250 black and white rhinoceros.<\/p>\n

\"Blog
\nBeaches and Recreation:<\/strong><\/em>
\nKenya<\/strong> \u2013 Table Mountain
\nNamed for its flat surface and sloping sides, Table Mountain in Kenya is a gorgeous beach city. Flanked by the Indian and Atlantic Ocean, it has the honor of being one of the most photographed beaches in history. Book a cable car ride at sunset or sunrise for some truly spectacular views.
\nKenya<\/strong> \u2013 Horseback Riding
\nIf traditional safaris are not adventurous enough, consider booking one via horse in the Masai Mara. You\u2019ll need to spend at least a week as it covers over 62 miles. A highlight of this safari will be riding side by side with native zebras.
\nZambezi, Zambi<\/strong> – Canoeing
\nCheck out elephants, hippos, gazelles and more getting their fair share of liquid at the local watering hole. Guided by experienced tour guides, a canoe tour offers a safe and magical experience without bothering the animals.<\/p>\n

\"Blog
\nCity and Street Life:<\/strong><\/em>
\nMorocco<\/strong> – Djmaa el Fna
\nOne can\u2019t experience Africa without stopping at the exotic region of Morocco. Snake charmers, dancers, fruit sellers and henna artists pitch tents under the hot sun and tell stories to eager listeners of both their wares and their intricate culture. (And if you think it\u2019s exciting by day, just wait until the music starts at night!)<\/p>\n

\"Blog
\nNatural Landscapes:<\/strong><\/em>
\nNamibia<\/strong> – Sossusvlei Dunes
\nTranslated as The Gathering Place of Water, these dunes are incredibly beautiful \u2013 but incredibly dehydrating. Trees known as camelthorn scatter across the clay, giving an eerie and skull-like feel to this haunting landscape.<\/p>\n

\"Blog
\nLandmarks & National Parks:<\/strong><\/em>
\nMalawi<\/strong> – Nykia National Park
\nSee antelope, zebra and even leopards in this green and hilly park. Rivers and waterways slice through the plateaus, offering spectacular waterfall views. Stop nearby at the Great Rift Valley with its plunging mountains and rushing river in between.
\nBotswana<\/strong> – Nxai Pan National Park
\nNxai Pan National Park presents incredible views of salt-filled plains. It\u2019s home to cheetah, leopard and lion, as well as enormous herds of giraffe (who travel in groups to safeguard themselves against the giant cats!).
\nEastern Congo<\/strong> – Virunga National Park<\/p>\n

If exploding volcanos are your thing, check out the Nyiragongo Volcano in Virunga National Park. While it wasn\u2019t any fun for the thousands of people who had to move in 2002, it\u2019s contained now and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for visitors.<\/p>\n

\"Blog
\nFood To Try:<\/strong><\/em>
\nThere\u2019s so much cuisine in this diverse country, but here are a few you will definitely want to sample:<\/p>\n
