by Francois L. Botha
1. MOUNT KILIMINJARO –
TANZANIA
The highest mountain on the
African continent, ‘Kili’
measures an astounding
19,340 feet at her highest

spectacular diversity of flora
and fauna species.
3. THE EGYPTIAN

World, the Egyptian

robbers delight us all.

4. PONTA DO OURO – MOZAMBIQUE
With around 100 Bottlenose and Spinner dolphins making the sheltered waters of Ponta du Ouro
their home, this region is definitely worth visiting. Dive the reefs to 40 metres in depth; they are
teeming with a rainbow of marine life. Dolphin dives are a popular while in winter the haunting
call of the humpback whale can be heard.
5. KRUGER NATIONAL PARK - SOUTH AFRICA
The oldest, most established reserve in Africa, the Kruger boasts an amazing variety of game and
bird life throughout its numerous habitats. The fantastic opportunities to view the Big Five draw
many visitors to the park, hoping to spot lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and black rhinoceros.
Game drives and guided walking trails offer great animal watching opportunities in the African
bush.
6. DJEMAA el FNAA SQUARE – MARRAKESH – MOROCCO
A tapestry of colours, smells, sites and wonderful local characters make a visit to this bustling
marketplace an unforgettable experience. Be entertained by fortune tellers, street performers
and henna women. The Municipal Market sells local fresh produce. Take a ride in a Horse-drawn
carriage and enjoy the spectacular sunset. More performers come out in the evening and
entertain till midnight. Enjoy the famous local orange juice or mint tea!
7. THE SERENGETI - TANZANIA
The Serengeti National Park, covering 14,763 sq. km, is named ‘endless plains’ in Masai. Here are
35 species of mammals, including wildebeest, zebra, lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant and giraffe,
and over 200 species of birds.
The annual wildebeest migration is possibly the most spectacular natural event in Africa.
8. THE VICTORIA FALLS – ZIMBABWE
From either Zimbabwe or Zambia you can experience the world’s largest sheet of falling water.
The spray can be seen up to 30 kilometres away - hence the local name ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - "The
smoke that thunders".
Apart from the spectacular views including permanent rainbows arcing across the face of the falls,
one can experience the waters along the river at closer quarters with white water rafting.
9. LAKE MALAWI
The 3rd largest lake in Africa is a tropical paradise. The tranquil waters lap against shores lined
with palm, mango, banana and avocado trees. Here you can kayak, while snorkeling offers access
to the colourful kaleidoscope of endemic cichlids found at this UNESCO world heritage site.
10. TABLE MOUNTAIN – SOUTH AFRICA
This iconic landmark stands in the centre of the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Climb, or experience the wonders of the revolving cable car. Either way a visit to one of the most
recognizable mountains in the world is a must for your trip around the great African continent.
And while you’re there, enjoy the wonders of Cape Town –beaches, winelands, Robben Island –
each one a ‘Top 10’ in its own right!
