The 10 most beautiful countries in Africa

Of course, you have to be in Africa for a safari, but the continent has a lot more to offer than that. The Kalahari desert, the pyramids, or gigantic Lake Victoria, and lots more.

As seriously as Africa is, Africa is a vast continent that is so diverse and filled with a melting pot of cultures, identities, beautiful nature, and history. It is content with so much diversity that we sometimes forget when we hear the word ‘Africa’ as the place to visit.
