Top Travel Destinations In Africa

3. South Africa

An oft-discussed destination in Africa is the country of South Africa, which is world-renowned for a few reasons. Cape Town, the port city of South Africa, is a cultural hub for travelers looking to see popular landmarks, one of which is often Table Mountain. Overlooking the city, Table Mountain is a nice hiking and climbing hill with a flat surface, providing a clear view. Another hot-spot for visitors is Kruger National Park, a game reserve where guests can see the controlled, safe environment via safaris that offer the chance to see elephants, lions, storks and more. Finally, South Africa is home to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela served eighteen out of his twenty-seven-year prison sentence prior to the fall of apartheid. Robben Island is now a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site.
