Exploring the countries of Africa means lots of adventure, road trips and maybe flights, too. You could end up in an exotic tropical island or on an African Safari in the bush. If you love new experiences and getting to the most unexpected spots on long drives, then travelling to Africa is definitely the ideal holiday for you in the coming year 2020!
There are so many hidden gems in Africa that one trip may not be enough. However, you can make the most of whatever time you do have. The good thing about Africa is that you have so many options to choose from. If you love beaches, you will be spoilt for choice. And if you love nature and wilderness, well, the number of National Parks altogether will blow you away.
Here are some unique destinations that you can plan to visit in 2020:
Egypt:
Egypt is a literal gem, very much underrated when it comes to holiday destinations. This North African country has so much history and beauty that you are sure to be amazed at. If you are familiar with Ancient Egypt, the pyramids, the pharaohs, the tombs and temples, then seeing these wonders in real life is a surreal experience. Learning about the history of a country while being able to see the old architecture, museums and ancient artifacts make it magical. The true essence of Egypt can be found while you move from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan. Discover majestic temples and incredible architecture, all built by man.
You also have the option to relax by the red sea. Drive to Hurghada (don’t forget your international driving license Egypt)and experience vast beaches, golden sand, and world-class hotels.
Tanzania:
Traveling to Africa is incomplete without an African Safari. Tanzania offers a huge variety of safari options. Tanzania is found on the Eastern part of Africa, and is home to the famous Mount Kilimanjaro. Visit the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara among many others.
The Northern circuit is the perfect safari experience, where you encounter loads of wildlife and gorgeous landscapes. If you are lucky, you can spot the Big 5 too!
Uganda:
Just bordering Kenya, there is a lot to discover in Uganda. Beautiful landscapes, wildlife and mountains. Uganda is a pathway to the longest river in the world, the river Nile. The country also boasts of mountain ranges, lakes and whitewater rafting (for the adventurous ones who are seeking some thrill). Nevertheless, what it is most popular for is Gorilla tracking.
Seychelles:
Seychelles is truly a paradise on earth. Clear waters, blue skies and gorgeous beaches. Seychelles is a very small country, made of several small islands.
If you want to get away to relax and not have to worry about busy itineraries then Seychelles is the place for you. Perfect for a relaxing vacation!
