Egypt.
Home to the famous Pyramids, Egypt saw around 13 million
visitors in 2019. It has a lot to offer to tourists starting
from the Nile, Valley of the Kings, and the Saqqara complex.
Not to mention you can explore the birthplace of one of
the oldest civilizations in the world.
Morocco
Similar to Egypt, in 2019, Morocco saw over 12 million
visitors. The foreign visitors were mainly from Europe
and the US, and the most visited destinations included
Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, and Rabat.
Namibia
Located in South Africa, Namibia sees over a million
visitors annually. It’s mostly known for its ecotourism
which allows visitors to experience the wildlife in the country.
Algeria
With 2.4 million visitors in 2019, Algeria is another
famous country in Africa. It has plenty to offer, and
one of the most attractive structures in the country
is the Sahara Desert. Moreover, in Algeria, you will
find Constantine, known for its stunning bridges.
Tanzania
Serengeti National Park (Tanzania)
Lake Nakuru (Kenya)
Table Mountain (South Africa)
Okavango Delta (Botswana)
Pyramids (Egypt)
Lake Retba (Senegal)
This African country sees over a million visitors
each year, where in only 2019, the number of
tourists reached 1.5 million. Tanzania has many
national parks and several UNESCO heritage sites
that are very attractive to tourists.
Additionally, in Zanzibar (an archipelago in Tanzania),
you can explore some of the best beaches in Africa.
This national park is located in Tanzania and is a
World Heritage Site. The park is home to over 2 million animals in Africa, and it’s open to the public for daily tours or even weekly stays. It’s also where the Great Migration happens— a yearly event in which the wildebeest migrates from Serengeti to Masai Mara reserve in Kenya.
The lake is found in the Lake Nakuru National Park in
Kenya— one of the most visited parks in the region. It serves as a sanctuary for many endangered species. However, the lake is inhabited by the pink flamingos, which cover the entire area, and from above, you can only see a pink blob instead of the lake.
Located in Cape Town, South Africa, Table Mountain is the
most visited site in that region, with 4.2 million visitors each year. Unlike other high peaks, the mountain is called a “table mountain” due to its flat top. Moreover, it has diverse flora and fauna, and any visitor can explore the territory via cableway or by just hiking up the mountain.
Known as the “Jewel of the Kalahari,” the Okavango Delta is
a must-see phenomenon in Africa. This water sanctuary grows to
double its size during the rainy season— becoming the world’s
largest freshwater ecosystem. Located in Botswana,
it’s home to several species of wildlife and new species
undiscovered by science before, so you have the opportunity
to explore one of nature’s greatest wonders.
There are over 100 identified pyramids located in Egypt— the most
famous being the Giza Pyramids. These buildings are some of
the oldest man-made structures, and one of them — the
Pyramid of Khufu— is a part of the world’s seven wonders.
Found in Senegal, Retba is named after its unique pink color.
Because of the high salt content, the algae “Dunaliella salina” thrives, making the lake pink and sometimes even blood-red.
