Africa – discover the African continent in all its diversity and beauty. The African continent covers around 22% of the world’s total land area, making it the second largest continent after Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The continent offers an impressive variety of geography, cultures and traditions. Africa as a travel destination is one of the most extraordinary regions in the world and attracts many vacationers every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africa offers an amazing variety of landscapes – from deserts such as the Sahara and Namib to rainforests, impressive mountain ranges and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Each country on the continent has its own unique natural beauty to offer. For many vacationers, the opportunity to observe wild animals in their natural habitat is the main reason for a trip to Africa. For example, safaris are offered in countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa, offering the chance to get up close and personal with the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) as well as a variety of other wild animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africa is made up of 54 recognized states, home to around 1.256 billion people. It is home to thousands of ethnic groups and cultures, each with their own traditions, languages and ways of life. With a bit of luck, vacationers can get to know something of the culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diversity of cultures is also reflected in the multitude of historical and archaeological sites. From the ancient pyramids and monuments of Egypt to the stone cities of Great Zimbabwe and the rock churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia – every region offers amazing treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big plus point for many vacationers: many countries and providers on the continent are increasingly focusing on sustainable tourism, which not only protects the environment but also contributes to the economic development of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n
