The Ancient Egyptian Ruins - Egypt. Egypt attracts visitors from across the world who come to see some of the numerous and spectacular Egyptian ruins that can be visited.

Mount Kilimanjaro - Tanzania. Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free standing mountain and attracts a large number of challengers each year who attempt to climb the mountain. The fact that the mountain can be scaled by an amateur climber makes it even more attractive to the average visitor to Africa.
Cape Town - South Africa. This beautiful city is commonly regarded as the jewel of South Africa. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with the impressive Table Mountain situated in the centre of the peninsula and it's white, sandy beaches. Not only this, but Cape Town is perhaps one the most culturally diverse places to visit in Africa with a wide range of places to eat and drink.
