= = == = = = = = = = Jambo, Welcome to Africa ! =

While Africa has a reputation for being a continent struck by poverty and despair, people often forget the magical and wondrous lands that make up what has got to be the most breathtaking, picturesque part of the world. This continent is filled with strong cultures from one country to the next, some of the happiest people alive, jungles filled with unique creatures and so much more that makes Africa an unforgettable destination that is sure to rock your world. Africa consists of fifty-four countries, each with its own history and unbelievable sense of spirit. From the Ivory Coast to Mozambique, Africa is a force to be reckoned with in terms of places that will leave you feeling more alive than you have ever felt. Despite the fact that much of Africa has and is still colonized by many other parts of the world, it has heightened its independence greatly in the past few decades. The next time you consider taking a vacation, think of these three destinations that have been proven to be exceptional places to immerse yourself into the beautiful African cultures.

1) Capetown, South Africa 2) Cairo, Egypt 3) Nairobi, Kenya

As one of the most multicultural cities in the world, Capetown, South Africa serves as the most popular international tourist destination in all of Africa. With some of the best architectural heritage, the beauty of its coastline beaches and famous attractions such as the many mountains and parks, Capetown is a fascinating city that you will never want to leave. As one of the richest cities in the entire continent, captures the flavor of both the modern world and old tradition with its towering skyscrapers and tasteful markets. Hippos and penguins, lions and apes are all animals that you can see on one of the many safaris that South Africa has to offer. So set your sights on South Africa, you will be amazed.

Whenever I ask people where they would most likely if they had one place to go before they die, many of them say Egypt. Not only is it known for its amazing pyramids and the monumental Dead Sea, it is also one of the most unique places on the planet. Cairo, Egypt's capital is one of the world's most urban areas with hundreds of tourist attraction. As a historical and majestic city, Cairo possesses the charm and sweetness of old tradition while keeping a modernity about the city. Plentiful of culture, there are dozens of world-famous art galleries as well as a variety of Pyramids nearby in Giza. If you feel like escaping the honking horns and the busy streets, take a walk down the Nile or embrace the ravishing countryside that surrounds the city. With the rich blend of culture, diversity and the kind-hearted people, I suggest you head to Cairo and walk like an Eqyptian.

Nestled in some of the most exquisite mountains in Africa lies Nairobi, Kenya; a dazzling city that is sure to capture your heart with its warmth. Known for being the center of Kenya's world-renowned music and dancing scene, the Nairobi streets are usually accommodating performances by the natives who are also some of the most genuine and sweetest people alive. Kenyans are recognized for their lively personalities and caring hearts, so you will feel like you are right at home while visiting. The Nairobi National Park is an excellent way to spend your day, as it consists of much wildlife and radiant scenery. So grab your Indiana Jones hat and your camera because Nairobi is an adventure you'll never forget.
