Top Travel Destinations In Africa

4. Botswana

Botswana is next on the list as a key tourism hub, a country just north of South Africa. There are many attractions here including the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, a vast conservation area and wildlife preserve shared by their neighbor to the south. The park is fifteen thousand square miles and provides an unfenced region for animals which is necessary to their survival in this desert-like plain. Gcwihaba, an underground labyrinth of caverns and pits where globetrotters may see stalagmites and stalactites as well as leaf-nosed bats, a native species, is also intriguing. Moreover, the Tsodilo hills make for a day of history and exercise as archaeological research shows indigenous communities have lived in these parts for over 100,000 years, proved by the ninety thousand-year-old tools, pottery, and beads. Hiking and hill climbing are fun activities for such challenging terrain.
