3. Tofo, Mozambique
Tofo is a small fishing town in south-
eastern Mozambique that offers
breathtaking sandy beaches, fresh
atmosphere and mouth-watering sea-
food. The Tofo beach runs in a long
arc around the town, which is nestled
on a tranquil bay overlooking the
Indian Ocean. It is a place where the
life is taken slow and easy, with a per-
petual party atmosphere. Tofo’s major
tourist attraction is the exceptional
opportunity to see Manta Rays and
Whale Sharks which are permanently
resident in its waters.
4. Livingstone, Zambia
The Victoria Falls presents a spec-
tacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty
and grandeur on the Zambezi River,
forming the border between Zambia
and Zimbabwe. It is known as the
greatest curtain of falling water in the
world; one of the 7 Wonders of the
world. The great gush of Victoria Falls
provides the soundtrack to a vacation
in Livingstone. After gawking at and
exploring this natural wonder, you can
learn more about its formation and
history of the surrounding area at the
Victoria Falls Field Museum.
5. Zanzibar, Tanzania
Experience the enchanting beauty
of the islands of Zanzibar, a semi-
autonomous part of Tanzania in East
Africa. You will enjoy clear, turquoise-
blue water; shallow sandbars perfect
for wading. Explore the World Heritage
Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old
quarter. Or just go beach to beach
between tiny fishing villages—each
one better than the next. The key
areas of attraction are the buildings,
cultural dances with Arabic origina-
tions, and the main slave trade market
of people in East Africa, who were
then shipped to Far East and West
Africa and South America.
6. Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi’s spectacular Nairobi National
Park is the only big game reserve to
border a capital city, or any major
city anywhere in the world. The park
serves as natural habitat for many
animals including over 100 lions, sev-
eral giraffes, 58 rare white rhinos and
over 100 black rhinos. The Nairobi
Safari Walk is a major attraction to the
Nairobi National Park as it offers a rare
on-foot experience of the animals.
Scores of baboons and other primate
species abound within the entrance
grounds to welcome you to the sheer
exciting splendour of wild nature.
