Africa: Updates & Travel

Travel in Africa

• Nothing and no one can prepare you for the wonderful world of Africa. From the pyramids of Giza in the Egyptian desert to the annual migration of wildebeest in search of water in the Serengeti National Park (Tanzania). Many travellers who have once travelled through Africa return, because there is so much to discover.
• Absolute highlights are the unprecedented water violence and natural beauty at the Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe, Zambia), the cultural traditions in West Africa, the safari areas in East Africa and the surf spots with swinging djembes on the beaches of Guinea, or in South Africa.
• The trips with a 4x4 truck across a number of African countries also remain one of the most attractive and adventurous ways to get to know the continent.
• Travelling through Africa can also be tough. Due to changing political situations, poor infrastructure and poverty, the dangers and challenges are greater than average. But those who do not shy away from the unknown and adventurous will have an incredible experience.
• Check the Nile River (South Sudan/Sudan/Egypt): Drift along the green and fertile Nile with the ancient traditions of the Nubian people.
• Climb the Kilimanjaro (Tanzania): Climb the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, 5,896 meters high and just below the equator in the African savannah.
• Visit the pyramids of Giza (Egypt): A wonderful feeling when you see these famous pyramids looming up from the deserted Egyptian plains.
• Bwindi National Park (Uganda): Go in search of the mountain gorillas in this wild but beautiful park.
• Beaches of Northern Mozambique: Dance together with the relaxed locals on the endless beaches with fine white sand, turquoise water and mango trees.
• Sossus Valley (Namibia): Experience the lonely and cruel side of nature in the dark red and endless desert of Namibia.
• Ténéré Desert (Niger): An unforgiving climate, but the most beautiful sand dunes of the Sahara.
• Go to Lalibela (Ethiopia): Visit the beautiful monolithic churches and learn about the ancient culture of Ethiopia.
• Do visit: Serengeti National Park (Tanzania): One of the largest game parks, known for the annual emigration of a million gazelles, zebras, wildebeest and other animals.
• Kruger National Park (South Africa): Real African savannah with the 'Big Five'.
• Dakar (Senegal): Furious drumbeats, the best art festivals, white beaches and endless African markets form the scene of this great West African city.
• Dogon Country (Mali): Discover the surreal clay houses built against mountains, the ancient Malian culture on the border of the Sahel.
• Marrakesh (Morocco): The medina of Marrakesh is a labyrinth of alleys. Busy sellers of gold and silver and the smell of spices in the bazaars make for a day full of wonder.
• Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia): 'Smoke that thunders'. See, hear and experience the power of the water of the Zambezi River.
