FIVE REASONS TO VISIT AFRICA AND TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS CONTINENT

Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km² (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth’s total surface area and 20% of its land area. With 1.4 billion people as of 2021, it accounts for about 18% of the world’s human population. Africa’s population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4.

This continent offers something for every visitor – whether you are a lover of nature, history or adrenaline. Africa can offer you a place where you will enjoy an unforgettable, relaxing vacation, the craziest adventures you never dreamed of, encounters with wild animals that will remind you of the true power of nature, and numerous cultural monuments that speak of its past, traditions and customs.

Africa is a destination that everyone should visit at least once in their life, because even after only a few days spent in its heart, they will remember it forever. If you thought that this continent has nothing that could interest you, this time we give you five reasons why you will most certainly fall in love with it and get lost in all its wonders.

Amazing wilderness
Africa is home to some of the world’s most magnificent wildlife – about 1,100 species of mammals and over 2,600 species of birds live there. You can’t think of Africa without thinking of the impressive herds of animals that roam freely in its valleys and open plains. An African safari is an experience that many crave, because it allows them to get close to the world’s most beautiful animals and see them with their own eyes. In addition, African safaris help protect nature and wildlife across the continent, as a percentage of profits go to those very causes.

Rich culture
African culture is so rich and diverse that it differs from one country to another, but also from one tribe to another. Across Africa, people speak different languages, adhere to different religions and live very different ways of life. Each group has its own characteristics, and peoples carefully preserve their culture and traditions, with the help of art, music and literature.

Culinary magic
If you want to enjoy exotic food, Africa will not disappoint you. This continent contains the most interesting gastronomic scene in the world, with dishes that are inspired by traditional African recipes and other destinations around the world. Cape Town is particularly famous for its gastronomic magic, as it will offer you Michelin-starred restaurants and delicious street stalls at the same time. African cuisine primarily consists of locally grown ingredients, so food is generally not imported. For this very reason, each country has its own style of food.

An endless adventure
Africa is an ideal destination for all those who crave adventure. There are a number of fun outdoor activities on offer – from diving with sharks, to paragliding and everything in between. You can walk with gorillas, climb rocks and watch whales. We are sure that everyone will find something that suits them here.

Beaches you will remember forever
One of the best things about Africa is the magical combination of forests and beaches. The African coast is picturesquely perfect, so it hides endlessly long white sandy beaches. The perfect way to end your visit to this continent is to spend a few days relaxing on a quiet and peaceful beach or sipping a refreshing cocktail by the pool.
