1. The Wildlife is Incredible
High on the list of reasons to visit Africa is, hands down, because of the wildlife. You get a true safari this way. The lions, the rhinos – ladies, this isn’t you regular trip to the zoo, this is the real deal! You’ll get to have up close and have personal encounters with these amazing creatures, and you’ll get a lot more for your money – a lifetime of memories.
2. It’s Will and Kate’s Go-to Destination
Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in a gorgeous place somewhere in Kenya, and we can only guess exactly where it was, and what they saw. What I can bet, though, is that if this place is beautiful enough for the future king and queen of England, it’s good enough for the rest of us! Going where the royals went – totally one of the best reasons to visit Africa.
Frequently asked questions
3. The People, the Culture, and the Traditions
Simply put, one of the highlights of visiting Africa lies at the heart of what makes it unique – the people, culture and traditions. It’s a different world down there, the way they live, the traditions they uphold, it would be incredible to witness how they live their lives. It’s such a contrast from our daily lives, I’m guessing it would be an incredible lesson and a beautiful feeling!
4. The Pyramids of Giza
These pyramids are world wonders. The pyramids need no other introduction as one of the best reasons to visit Africa. Again, the PYRAMIDS.

The diversity of this place is incredible. There are mountains, beaches, tropical islands, rainforests, I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like here. The different settings you’ll find yourself in are some of the most beautiful reasons to visit Africa if you can.

Africa is an incredible place for adventure. Are you ready for this? White water rafting, zip lining, shark cage diving, bungee jumping, skydiving, hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro, safaris, helicopter trips, and there’s tons more. Looking for more reasons to visit Africa? Just Google "African adventures"!

The beautiful thing about visiting a place like Africa is that you can really make a difference. As beautiful as this place is, we all know that they face their fair share of problems, and the best thing about it is that you can help, even in the smallest of ways. This is one of the best reasons to visit Africa, because you’ll not only get to experience all that this continent has to offer, but you’ll be able to give back as well.

Comments
chisy: I wish people would say let's take a trip because it is beautiful not because we Africans need handouts I live in the USA so many people here could use the help the elderly, veterans, children etc I take offense to this to some degree but then again freedom of speech not everyone in Africa needs your pennies :(
Adrianne: I went to Lesotho for four weeks last December. Their culture and kindness and hospitality are unparalleled. I know a lot of people who go there to help, but it's so much better to go there and learn.
Asheena: I live in South Africa and recently after returning from a holiday in Asia - I've actually began appreciating the beautiful country I live in. The crime, political unrest and social adversities aside - SA is a stunning place to call HOME
Meg-Tam: I live in South Africa
Shazza: It's the beginning - the place that life started. When I stepped on the tarmack at Cape Town for the first time - I wept.
Sara: I live in North Africa
Michelle: 2011 I went on a 3 week Safari in South Africa Kruger National Park. I can only recommend the park, largest in SA and it was a lifetime experience. We stayed one night in a birdhide (had to book over a year in advance) and the whole night surrounded by elephants and hippos. Can't describe in words what a wonderful experience that was. Seriously amazing! Really considering to go again.
Normskie: Just in a heart beat I booked a flight to Southern Africa for a week..... Am a peace.....
