I’ve been to several places in Africa. Just lately I returned from Egypt and for my money its the best place i’ve ever been. Afterall it is the cradle of civilization.
Give your answer to this question below!
egypt has good sites but it is not really African culturally and the egyptian people themselves don’t think they are Africans. the two best vacation places in africa are kenya and ethiopia. ethiopia might be older than Egypt itself. it has oldest human remains in the world like LUCY fossil which is found in their capital museum. also first human immigration is considered to be from ethiopia. kenya has very good wildlife. it also has one of best safaris and beaches in the region.
well, my visit to Ethiopia was by far the most amazing in all of Africa. maybe its because i had low expectations but the cultural and historical sites of this country was the most fascinating in africa, and one of the most amazing in the world. The Omo valley and the untouched tribes in southern ethiopia is like going back in time but the country does actually have an ancient calendar unique from the rest of the world. it also has very old churches, castles and settlements of both Christianity and Islam (the only country both religions can call home since their beginnings) As the capital of africa, i also found the African Union (AU) historical sites kind of interesting. the country is suprisingly very fertile and it has very high mountainous regions with massive wildlife while it also has allegedly both the hottest and lowest areas in the world geographically. the Afar region is a must see. i spent a lot of my time in Lalibela, Axum, Bahir Dar, Bale, Harar, Gondar, Afar and Addis Ababa. The exchange rate in etiopia is not as high as other african countries but it is still cheap to stay and get around in ethiopia
i have been to many countries around the world and ethiopia is my top 5 destination but it does have one of the worst hotels and the worst infrastructure for tourists accomodation
I’ve enjoyed a couple of visits to Cape Town – lovely beaches, Table Mountain, good food.
Wouldn’t go to Jo’burg again (there for work) – you can cut the tension with a knife!
Mali and Tanzania are very good spots. Tanzania has rich wildlife and national parks. south africa is the most modern country with many Europeans. many north african countries and eritrea have some nice european architectures because they were european colonies. the most beautiful women in Africa are also found in Eritrea and in neighboring Ethiopia. if you like the religious sites in Israel then you have to go to northern Ethiopia where christian kingdoms were flourishing before Europe even adopted christianity. kenya is a perfect spot for safaris.
south africa is good if you don’t want to lose the comfort of basic services everywhere you go.
but if you are adventurous and if you really want to see Africa and the historical,cultural social uniques of africa then these are the top 7 best locations in Africa
#1. Ethiopia
#2. Egypt
#3. Kenya
#4. Zambia
#5. Morocco
#6. Tanzania
#7. Ghana
