Discover The True Africa Travel Gems

By Msafiri Wa Africa

The True Gems in Africa Travel


In a previous post on Africa travel, I mentioned some of the most preferred Africa holiday destinations, among them Kenya, South Africa and Egypt. While these countries may be the favorite destinations among many travelers, their attractions are not necessarily superior to the other less-traveled African countries. In fact, in my opinion, there are some countries that offer a more satisfying Africa safari experience, often with the added advantage of being less crowded. These include: Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique

Lesotho
This landlocked country is neighbored on all sides by South Africa. One of the things that make Lesotho a unique travel destination is its beautiful mountainous scenery. The entire country lies at over 1000 meters above sea level, and has arguably some of the best hiking trails in Africa. The traditional way of life of the Basotho is, to say the least, very fascinating. The best way to enjoy a holiday in this country is on horse back.

Madagascar
If you want to see some of the most weird wild animals in Africa, and indeed in the entire world, then Madagascar is the place to be. Experts estimate that up to 70% of the animal species found in this Island nation are found nowhere else in the world. These include the fossa, lemurs, and tenrecs among others. Add this unique wildlife to the mystical culture in most of Madagascar, and you get a most unique travel experience.

Malawi
Some people say that if you want to see the real Africa, then you should travel to Malawi. And there is a good reason for that. Malawi is endowed with such a beautiful landscape that you'll simply love the country. From the huge Lake Malawi, to the peeks and escarpments of Mount Mulanje, you can not help but feel like you are on God's paradise on earth. The Malawi people are among the most friendly in Africa, making traveling to Malawi an immensely enjoyable activity

Mozambique
With a coastline of over 2000 kilometers, Mozambique is a haven for lovers of luxury beach holidays, and water sports. Dune boarding, windsurfing, snorkeling, and water-skiing are some activities you can engage in while there. The Quirimbas and Bazaruto Archipelagos are just some of the paradisaical places you can go for the perfect honeymoon on the beach. And when you get bored with the beach and the sea, you can take off for a unique wildlife safari in the Gorongosa national park.
