Top Things to See & Do in Africa

Africa's top attractions span South Africa, Morocco, and Egypt, each offering a distinct mix of wildlife, desert adventure, and ancient history. In South Africa, travelers can explore the coastal city of Cape Town, taste world-class wines in Stellenbosch, and go on game drives through Kruger National Park in search of the Big Five. Many itineraries also extend north to Victoria Falls, one of the world's most spectacular waterfalls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, and include stops in Johannesburg to experience the country's largest city.

Morocco offers a completely different kind of adventure, from the bustling markets and medinas of Marrakesh and Fes to the coastal cities of Casablanca and Rabat. A Sahara Desert excursion near Merzouga is a highlight of most Morocco tours, giving travelers the chance to ride camels across the dunes and spend a night in a desert camp. The Skoura oasis and the mountain scenery around Bine el Ouidane add further variety to the Moroccan landscape.

Egypt remains one of Africa's most iconic destinations, anchored by the Pyramids of Giza and the ancient city of Cairo. A Nile River cruise between Luxor and Aswan is a centerpiece of many Egypt itineraries, offering access to the Valley of the Kings and some of the world's best-preserved temples. Travelers looking to relax can add time on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, while a stop in Alexandria brings a taste of Egypt's Mediterranean history.

For those wanting to see more of the region in a single trip, several tours combine Egypt with neighboring destinations, pairing the pyramids and Nile with Jordan's ancient city of Petra, or with the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini. A North Africa itinerary linking Egypt and Morocco is also available for travelers who want to experience both ancient Egyptian history and Moroccan desert culture in one journey.

Africa Vacation Tips

Contact us for more travel tipsGet ready for your African adventure and read our expert travel tips before embarking on this extraordinary journey through diverse landscapes and cultures.

When is the best time to visit Africa?

The ideal time depends on the region. South Africa and Botswana are best visited during the dry winter months (May to September) for optimal wildlife viewing, while Morocco is most pleasant in spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when temperatures are milder. Egypt is best explored from October to April, avoiding the intense summer heat.

What can I see at the Pyramids and along the Nile in Egypt?

Egypt's must-see sites include the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx just outside Cairo, along with the ancient temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. A Nile River cruise between Luxor and Aswan is one of the best ways to experience Egypt's ancient history while traveling between these landmarks in comfort.

What makes Morocco's Sahara Desert and medinas worth visiting?

Morocco offers a Sahara Desert experience near Merzouga, where travelers can ride camels across the dunes and spend a night in a desert camp under the stars. The medinas of Marrakesh and Fes are equally captivating, with their maze-like markets, historic architecture, and vibrant local culture.

Why is Kruger National Park considered Africa's greatest safari destination?

Kruger National Park is one of Africa's largest and most accessible game reserves, home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino) along with hundreds of other species. Its well-developed network of lodges and guided game drives makes it a top choice for first-time and experienced safari-goers alike.

What makes Cape Town worth visiting?

Cape Town combines dramatic natural scenery with rich culture, from Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope to the vineyards of nearby Stellenbosch. Its coastal setting, food and wine scene, and historic waterfront make it one of the most beautiful cities in Africa.

What wildlife can I expect to see on a national park safari?

Africa's national parks and game reserves are home to the Big Five, as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos, cheetahs, and hundreds of bird species. Guided game drives, usually offered at dawn and dusk, give travelers the best chance of spotting animals in their natural habitat.

What is Robben Island's significance in South Africa's history?

Robben Island, located off the coast of Cape Town, is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years during apartheid. Today it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and museum, offering visitors a powerful look into South Africa's history and its journey toward democracy.

What can I see at Victoria Falls?

Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the world's largest waterfalls and a designated natural wonder. Visitors can view the falls from multiple lookout points, take a scenic helicopter flight, or add adrenaline activities like white-water rafting and bungee jumping.

How do I book an Africa tour?

Africa tours can be booked directly through a travel specialist, who can help design a private or small-group itinerary based on your interests, whether that's safari, desert adventure, ancient history, or a combination of destinations across multiple countries.
