With a myriad of travel experiences, you don’t need to venture outside of Africa for adventure.

Known for its unparalleled wildlife and safari opportunities, including the “Big Five” and rare primates, Africa boasts stunning and diverse natural landscapes, rich cultures steeped in thousands of years of history, and a plethora of adventure activities like mountain climbing, hiking and water sports.

The continent also offers incredible opportunities for historical learning, exploring ancient sites, and experiencing unique culinary traditions.

As the world looks forward to Tourism Day (September 27), it is crucial to highlight the importance of exploring and travelling across the continent.

Like Europe and Asia, the continent has dreamy bucket list destinations worthy of admiration.

If you’re wondering where to go for dreamy, out-of-this-world experiences, here are some must-see destinations across Africa.

Bazaruto Archipelago - Mozambique: The Bazaruto Archipelago is a dreamy destination known for its pristine, unspoiled white-sand beaches, vibrant turquoise waters and tich marine life, including Africa’s last viable population of dugongs.

This protected marine wonderland is ideal for diving, snorkelling and whale watching, offering a combination of barefoot luxury, untouched nature and cultural encounters within a crowd-free environment.

With stunning beaches and palm-fringed coves, the archipelago provides idyllic settings for relaxation.

The waters surrounding the islands are exceptionally clear, making them perfect for water-based activities. The coral reefs are home to over 2000 species of fish, three species of sea turtles, dolphins, and various sharks.

Visitors can witness humpback whales, manta rays and whale sharks in the archipelago’s rich waters.
