Places to Visit in Africa – South Africa and Beyond
There are many great places to visit in South Africa, but there are also many other places in Africa to visit. Africa doesn’t always spring to mind when planning a beach holiday, but there are many reasons to give it a try. Cape Town in South Africa has until recently alway been “the” destination if you wanted to go to Africa and enjoy the beach. Now there are new kids on the block and places like Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania, Mombasa, Kenya and The Gambia have really their own unique selling points. They not only have a flavour of Africa but they also make great beach holiday destinations.
One of the more obvious reasons to pick somewhere in the African continent is to enjoy the beach during the European winter. You will break up your winter and escape the summer holiday rush. How often do we hear about strikes at airports during the summer peak holiday period, delaying millions of holidaymakers and destroying their few weeks away from work? Escape the rush and travel out from the peak season and Africa is the perfect place to do this.
