The New Seven Wonders of Africa

Serengeti National Park

The largest and most famous of Tanzania’s national parks, the Serengeti is known the world over for its astounding wildlife .

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a caldera which is some 20km wide. With a permanent water and pasture source, the crater is host to almost every species of African animal. 

Mount Kilimanjaro 

The highest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro is also the highest peak in Africa, with Uhuru Peak reaching a height of 5895m.

The Nile River

At 6650 km long, the Nile River is the longest river in the world. From its sources in central Africa to the Nile Delta in Egypt, the river flows through 11 countries, eventually making its way to the Mediterranean Sea

The Red Sea Reef

Known across the world as one of the best spots to go diving, the Red Sea Reef stretches over 1240 miles along the coast of Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea. Nearly 1100 species of fish call the reef home, and nearly 10% of these are only found in this region. Dive the Red Sea in Egypt!

Sahara Desert

The world’s hottest desert, The Sahara isn’t (contrary to popular belief) the world’s largest desert, coming in third after the Antarctic and The Arctic. Who knew they were deserts? Nonetheless, the Sahara is pretty darn enormous, covering most of North Africa.

Okavango Delta

The world’s largest inland delta, the waters of the Okavango Delta are teeming with life and studded with exotic islands. Produced by seasonal flooding, the deltas waters don’t flow to the 
sea, but are instead evaporated.
