Victoria Falls.


Victoria Falls are neither the highest nor the widest, but for sure the world's largest falls - they are 1,708 meters (5,600 ft) wide and 108 meters (360 ft) high. The colossal size and the sheer enormity of the site's beauty make the falls one of the most amazing and visited destinations in Africa.

5. The White Desert. Egypt.

White Desert, Egypt.


The White Desert, although it is only a tiny sister of the enormous Sahara, deserves the attention thanks to its uniqueness. The desert, located 45 km north of Farafra, a small oasis in Egypt, is home to amazing white rock formations that resemble giant sculptures and give the land its stunning, though a bit unrealistic look.

4. The Masai Mara. Kenya.

Masai Mara.


The Masai Mara's wildlife is immense, but striking quietness and harmony can be felt in the air of this large Kenyan natural park. The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to, among others, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and all prominent members of the "Big Five". It is one of the best Africa's safari destinations and Kenya's truly natural jewel.

3. Madagascar

Baobabs in Madagaskar.


The beauty of Madagascar lies in its weirdness. This unique island features amazing plant and animal species, such as 70 varieties of lemur, 60 varieties of the pitcher plants and crazy-looking octopus trees or surrealistic baobabs. Besides its extraordinary wildlife, the island is home to beautiful sites of rice plantations, tropical beaches, lush rain forests and majestic peaks of the Ankaratra Massif highlands.

The lush valleys, fertile vineyards and rolling hills of the Western Cape, a province located in the south west of South Africa, form a beautiful jigsaw puzzle made of natural pieces fitting each other perfectly. The province's topographic diversity makes the Western Cape an exceptional destination of sublime beauty and captivating nature.

1. Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania. 

Wildebeest in Tanzania


The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the world's largest volcanic caldera, was formed by a giant volcano that exploded and collapsed on itself some 3 million years ago. It is not without reason that the site is called the eighth wonder of the world. The crater is home to abundant wildlife such as giant buffaloes, beautiful flamingos, wildebeests, lions, zebras, and elephants. The Ngorongoro's magical scenery and vastness make the site one of Africa's most visited destinations.
