class=\"entry-content\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Africa is a huge continent with a huge variety of landscapes, sceneries, and natural landmarks. Nonetheless, Africa still has an undeveloped tourism industry and high costs of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing in almost every country. It is still a vastly unexplored continent by travelers, with large stretches of almost untouched nature. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, some of the most beautiful and impressive natural wonders of the World are located in Africa. Some are very well-known, while others are still gaining fame. They include powerful waterfalls, deserts, high mountains, canyons, and national parks, but also craters, lakes, and coral reefs.<\/p>\n<p>These <strong>natural wonders in Africa<\/strong> post will include all the main regions of the continent, organizing them by the country for easier understanding. So, let\u2019s explore the outstanding natural African wonders.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transnational_natural_wonders_in_Africa\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transnational_natural_wonders_in_Africa\"><\/span>Transnational natural wonders in Africa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Victoria_Falls_ZimbabweZambia_border\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Victoria_Falls_ZimbabweZambia_border\"><\/span>Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe\/Zambia border<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Victoria Falls is the most famous waterfall in Africa and probably the world. It is also one of the largest waterfalls, with a width of 1,708 m. The original name of the waterfalls is Mosi-o-Tunya meaning \u201cThe smoke that thunders,\u201d but most frequently, it is known as Victoria Falls, named after Queen Victoria by Dr. Livingstone.<\/p>\n<p>The waterfalls are located on the Zambezi River, which separates Zambia from Zimbabwe. Very close to the falls, you will find Victoria Falls Bridge, built in 1905. The bridge connects Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwe and Livingston in Zambia. And it is still used for cars, pedestrians, and trains. <\/p>\n<p>Visiting Mosi-o-Tunya falls has to be on everyone\u2019s bucket list, it is certainly worth the hype, and besides being an African Wonder, it is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. To see the falls from the ground, you have to enter the Victoria falls park in Zimbabwe The park has several pathways and viewpoints. It is an incredible experience just seeing and feeling the water of these waterfalls.<\/p>\n<p>There are several unforgettable activities to do in Victoria Falls, like whitewater rafting in the Zambezi River, helicopter ride, bungee jumping off the Victoria falls bridge, and swimming in the Devil\u00b4s pool. Note that the flow of the water varies according to the season, having very little water in the dry season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Natural landmarks Africa\" class=\"wp-image-9236\" width=\"882\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 1 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride.jpg\" alt=\"Natural landmarks Africa\" class=\"wp-image-9236\" width=\"882\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Victoria-falls-helicopter-ride-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 1 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>View of Victoria Falls, Zambezi River, and Victoria Falls Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Namib_Desert_Namibia_and_Angola\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Namib_Desert_Namibia_and_Angola\"><\/span>The Namib Desert, Namibia and Angola<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Namib Desert is another natural wonder of southern Africa. Although the Namib desert is usually only associated with Namibia (it was named the country after all), it runs from southern Angola into Namibia, ranging almost 1 600 km. This means that the Namib desert is a transnational natural wonder.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to visit the desert, both on the Angolan and Namibian sides, though it is much easier to do it in Namibia, particularly in Swakopmund. While a large desert, Namib isn\u2019t even close to being the largest in the world. On the other hand, with up to 80 Million years old, it is one of the two oldest deserts in the world (the Atacama in Chile is the other)<\/p>\n<p>Considered one of the world\u2019s aridest regions, the Namib desert includes many of the most prominent geographic features of Namibia, including some well-known destinations like Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, the giant sand dunes, and the Skeleton Coast. It is also in Namib where you will find the unique Welwitschias, a plant sometimes known as a living fossil.<\/p>\n<p>The Namib is predominantly a sand desert, consisting of an endless sea of sand dunes, some of which are huge like the ones in Sossusvlei. A safari through the desert and the dunes is extremely fun. Plus, visiting the Skeleton Coast, where giant dunes lay right beside the sea, is an incredible view. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Transnational natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-6960\" width=\"885\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-768x392.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 2 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg\" alt=\"Transnational natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-6960\" width=\"885\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Things-to-do-in-Namibia-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 2 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The Namib Desert in Namibia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_in_Africa_%E2%80%93_Angola\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_in_Africa_-_Angola\"><\/span>Natural wonders in Africa \u2013 Angola<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kalandula_falls_Angola\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kalandula_falls_Angola\"><\/span>Kalandula falls, Angola<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Located in the Lucala River, about 360 km from Luanda (East) and 75 km from Malanje (Northwest), the kalandula falls are considered the second-largest waterfalls in Africa. With 105 meters (344 feet) high and 400 meters (1,300 feet) wide, they are truly impressive, particularly during the rainy season (September to April).<\/p>\n<p>Although the Kalandula Falls aren\u2019t as famous nor as popular as other waterfalls in Africa, they are one of the most famous landmarks in Angola. Yet, as Angola isn\u2019t a tourist-friendly country, they aren\u2019t often visited by international travelers. They are mostly popular among locals, ex-pats in Angola, and a few adventure seekers.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to visit the falls is by car as the road goes directly to the lookout, where you have terrific views. Besides the lookout, there is no other tourist infrastructure. However, it is possible to descend to the lower part of the falls, but we would suggest going with a guide as it is not straightforward. Or, you can ask one of the local children to take you there and serve as a guide. The descent is fun and adventurous, but the highlight is getting close to the waterfall and feeling its raw power.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Most beautiful Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-7231\" width=\"885\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 3 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls.jpg\" alt=\"Most beautiful Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-7231\" width=\"885\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kalandula-Falls-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 3 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Kalandula waterfall from below, Angola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tundavala_Gap_Angola\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tundavala_Gap_Angola\"><\/span>Tundavala Gap, Angola<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tundavala gap in Angola is an impressive natural escarpment in the Serra da Leba mountain.

It\u2019s the hottest place on Earth as far as average temperatures around the year go and is very hot to visit.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a natural wonder in Africa, with two active volcanoes and a massive salt plain in the area. All of these can be seen on a visit there, and you can hike up one of the volcanoes, Erta Ale, to camp overnight at the rim crater and watch the lava bubbly in the crater.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s truly a unique and other-worldly place to visit in the world, and you can see a diverse landscape of barren lava fields, limestone formations, and salt plains that have been used since ancient times for the salt trade.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to realistically visit the region is to go on a<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/backpackingman.com\/danakil-depression-part-one-descent-hell\/\">\u00a0Danakil Depression tour<\/a>\u00a0from the capital Addis Ababa or from the city of Mekele, which is the gateway to the region and may be slightly cheaper to get a tour from.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" alt=\"African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27105\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 5 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-Danakil-Depression-Ethiopia-Africa-Wonders.gif\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-Danakil-Depression-Ethiopia-Africa-Wonders.gif\" alt=\"African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27105\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 5 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simien_Mountains_Ethiopia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simien_Mountains_Ethiopia\"><\/span>Simien Mountains, Ethiopia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Anwar from Beyond my Door<\/p>\n<p>Located in the heart of Ethiopia, the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmydoor.com\/tips-for-visiting-the-simien-mountains-ethiopia\/\">Simien Mountains<\/a>\u00a0are the highest points in the country. Often called the roof of Africa, this UNESCO world heritage site is famous for its beautiful mountains, sweeping vistas, and endemic species. The Gelada Baboon (also known as the \u201cbleeding heart\u201d baboon) is the most famous and the only place in the world where you can see them. Among other species in the mountains include the Ethiopian wolf, Walia Ibex, klipspringer, Golden Jackal, as well as other monkeys and baboons.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to visit the mountains. Most tours and travelers begin in the city of Gondar at the foot of the mountain range and do either day or multi-day treks through the mountains. Guides are available, and there are quite a few outfits in Gondar that can support your travel. The only requirement for travelers is to go with a \u201cscout,\u201d an armed local who is supposedly there to protect you from wild animals. However, a local guide is highly recommended as well as navigating the mountains isn\u2019t straightforward. Multi-day treks can be managed with porters carrying equipment to each of the various standard camps.<\/p>\n<p>Altitude sickness is a concern, with several mountains over 4000 meters throughout the park. Treks regularly cross passes high in elevation to transit between the various regular campsites. Be sure to verify transport from your start and exit location, as several require 4WD jeep access, and not all companies have these available, which may require you to hike out along roads to get in or out of the National Park.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"must visit natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 6 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\" alt=\"must visit natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Simien-Mountains-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 6 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Simien Mountains in Ethiopia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_Nile_Falls_Ethiopia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_Nile_Falls_Ethiopia\"><\/span>Blue Nile Falls, Ethiopia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Alex from Just Go Exploring<\/p>\n<p>Known as Tis Abay (or \u201cgreat smoke\u201d) in Amharic, the Blue Nile Falls is an enormous waterfall in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/justgoexploring.com\/destinations\/ethiopia-itinerary\/\">northwest Ethiopia<\/a>, close to the town of Bahir Dar and the picturesque Lake Tana.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Nile \u2013 one of the mighty river\u2019s two main tributaries \u2013 originates in nearby Lake Tana.

You can easily get there from Cape Town by either joining a guided tour or renting a car and driving yourself there. The tour will take between a half-day to a full-day trip. Driving from Cape Town is about an hour and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Cape of Good Hope sits on a protected wildlife reserve. Along the way, visitors can see wild animals such as monkeys, African penguins, and even flamingos. Cape of Good Hope is formed with the same kind of rocks that made Table Mountain. You have to hike from the parking lot to reach the exact point of the Cape, which can be challenging due to its rocks and uneven trail. The hike also takes you near the edge of the Cape and can be nerve-racking. Along the way, you will see some fauna and flora depending on the season.<\/p>\n<p>East of Cape of Good Hope in Cape Point there\u2019s a spot where you can witness the scenic view of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean crashing and meeting together. You can either walk the paved way or pay for the funicular service.

Table Mountain is an important tourist attraction, with many visitors getting to the top with the cable car. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/best-table-mountain-hiking-trails\/\">Hiking up Table Mountain <\/a>is a very popular activity with several spectacular trails available. Platteklip Gorge is the most popular trail up Table Mountain, most people choose it to walk up and then take the cable car down. Kasteelspoort, India venster and Skeleton Gorge are also popular routes to hike to the top. On the top of the mountain you can find bathrooms, a coffee shop, a souvenir shop and several look-out points. With more than 4 million yearly visitors, Table Mountain National Park is the most visited national park in South Africa. Table Mountain National Park is a World Heritage Site (UNESCO) forming part of the Cape Floral Kingdom. More than 8,200 plant species can be found on the mountain. Hiking on Table Mountain is free if you do not start in Kirstenbosch National Park (Skeleton Gorge route).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Everything about African Natural Landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27097\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 9 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Table-Mountain-Cape-Town-Stingy-Nomads.gif\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Table-Mountain-Cape-Town-Stingy-Nomads.gif\" alt=\"Everything about African Natural Landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27097\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 9 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Table Mountain in South Africa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kruger_National_Park_Republic_South_Africa\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kruger_National_Park_Republic_South_Africa\"><\/span>Kruger National Park, Republic South Africa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kruger National Park in South Africa is a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> reserve with an area of 19,485 km2 making it one of the largest national parks in the world.

It\u2019s also a popular place for bird watching and the views are some of the most beautiful in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the highlights of the canyon are the Three Rondavels \u00a0\u2013 three mountains in the shape of traditional African huts. At the southern entrance to the canyon, you\u2019ll also find the Burkes Luck Potholes, a remarkable rock formation with huge cylindrical holes which have formed due to water erosion.<\/p>\n<p>The Blyde River Canyon is about four hours drive from Johannesburg, on the Panorama Route. It\u2019s a convenient place to visit on the way to Kruger National Park.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Wonderfull natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27096\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 11 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blyde-River-Canyon-Africa-Natural-Wonders.gif\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blyde-River-Canyon-Africa-Natural-Wonders.gif\" alt=\"Wonderfull natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27096\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 11 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Blyde River Canyon in South Africa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazing_natural_wonders_%E2%80%93_Egypt\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazing_natural_wonders_-_Egypt\"><\/span>Amazing natural wonders \u2013  Egypt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wadi_al-Hitan_Egypt\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wadi_al-Hitan_Egypt\"><\/span>Wadi al-Hitan, Egypt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Dee from Vanilla Papers<\/p>\n<p>Wadi al-Hitan, or\u00a0<em>Valley of the Whales<\/em>, is an incredible open-air museum in the Egyptian desert that boasts fossil remains of one of the earliest forms of a whale. The fossils are remarkably well-preserved because of the dryness of the desert \u2013 even some of the stomach contents have remained intact.<\/p>\n<p>And you can view these fossils laying right in the sand.

The Nile was so important for Ancient Egyptians that they developed the calendar based on the seasons of the river: the flooding, the drought, and the harvest. The Nile even had its own God. Hapi was the God of the flooding of the Nile, a very important time of the year. During the floods, the Nile would bring in fertile soil on the banks of the river, which allowed the crops to grow.<\/p>\n<p>The Nile has always been used as a strategic element of Egypt. It was the source of food in the desert, it allowed transportation, and it was a key element of trade and access to the Mediterranean Sea.

It\u2019s not without reasons that Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the Pearl of Africa when he first visited the country. And Murchison Falls is one of the reasons that earned Uganda that nickname.<\/p>\n<p>These magnificent falls are located in the eponymous national park in northwestern Uganda. Not only are they a beautiful sight to see, but they are also known as one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to visit Murchison Falls is due to its location in the National Park. It\u2019s the largest protected area of Uganda, and it\u2019s home to all types of wildlife. From giraffes, elephants, and hyenas to hippos and crocodiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The best way to reach Murchison Falls is to take a car to the national park and spend a night at one of the lodges. Alternatively, you can take one of the many organized safaris that depart from Kampala or Entebbe. Almost all organizations will include a boat tour to the Murchison Falls, a game drive in the different areas of the park, and a boat tour of the Nile to spot crocodiles and hippos.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Natural attractions in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 15 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2.jpg\" alt=\"Natural attractions in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africa-natural-wonders-murchison-falls2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 15 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Murchison Falls in Uganda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bwindi_Impenetrable_Forest_Uganda\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bwindi_Impenetrable_Forest_Uganda\"><\/span>Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Bella from Passport &amp; Pixels<\/p>\n<p>With great lakes, rushing rivers, and towering mountains, Africa has many natural wonders vying to appear on this list, but Uganda\u2019s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest deserves to be up there with the best. The name \u2013 bestowed upon it by Victorian explorers \u2013 gives you a sense of why: this huge and tangled forest stretches over 32,000 hectares of tangled tropical and mountainous jungle, vast tracts of which probably haven\u2019t seen a human for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Bwindi is a National Park and a UNESCO heritage site for its incredible biodiversity, with around 350 species of birds, more than 160 species of trees, and over 100 species of ferns.<\/p>\n<p>But the main reason tourists come here is to go\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.passportandpixels.com\/uganda-gorilla-safaris-gorilla-trekking\/\">gorilla trekking<\/a>. Only around 1000 critically endangered mountain gorillas are left alive in the world, and they only live in this one small area on the western border of Uganda, where it meets Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Here, experts have spent decades habituating some of the gorilla family groups to the presence of humans, and now a very lucky few can hike up the steep slopes of Bwindi\u2019s mountainous and thickly-forested terrain to spend time with them. To get there, take a tour from Kampala, or hire a driver to ferry you the 9 hours by road west from Uganda\u2019s capital, where you\u2019ll need to pay $700 for the chance to spend just 1 hour with these magnificent creatures.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Africa \" class=\"wp-image-27033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 16 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Africa \" class=\"wp-image-27033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Gorillas-Bwindi-Impenetrable-Forest-Africa-Natural-Wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 16 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_Africa_%E2%80%93_Morocco\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_Africa_-_Morocco\"><\/span>Natural wonders Africa \u2013 Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ouzoud_Waterfalls_Morocco\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ouzoud_Waterfalls_Morocco\"><\/span>Ouzoud Waterfalls, Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Alina from World of Lina<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\">\nThe Ouzoud Falls are among the most beautiful natural wonders in Africa and need to be on everyone\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/worldoflina.com\/the-perfect-9-day-road-trip-itinerary-for-morocco\/\">Morocco itinerary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These stunning waterfalls are located near the village of Tanaghmeilt, just a 2.5-hour drive from Marrakech. It\u2019s a very popular place and thus often full of locals and tourists \u2013 especially on weekends.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to get there is by renting a car and driving to the parking lot at the top of the waterfalls. From there, don\u2019t hesitate to hire a mountain guide who\u2019ll show you the best way down and give you some information about the waterfalls.<\/p>\n<p>The path down to the waterfalls doesn\u2019t take more than an hour. When you arrive you\u2019ll see the majestic falls, the lake that the falls flow into, and the boats along the shores of the lake. After you\u2019ve taken in the landscape, you can hire the services of a rower. The cost will be 20 dirhams per person to enjoy a short but sweet ride. If you get hungry, there\u2019s a restaurant on the way back where you can have some food with great views of the waterfalls.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" alt=\"cool African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders-120x150.jpg 120w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 17 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"cool African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ouzoud-Waterfalls-Morocco-Africa-natural-wonders-120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 17 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Ouzoud Waterfalls in Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Atlas_Mountains_Morocco\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Atlas_Mountains_Morocco\"><\/span>High Atlas Mountains, Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Trisha Velarmino from P.S. I\u2019m On My Way: travel, life, and dreams<\/p>\n<p>Located in Morocco, the Atlas Mountains is the highest\u00a0mountain range in North Africa. There are many ways to get to the Atlas Mountains, but the closest airport is Ouarzazate. The train lines in Casablanca and Marrakesh are also other ways to go, but it\u2019s best to get on a tour package for a stress-free visit.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlas Mountains are a natural formation and shaped over hundreds of millions of years. The first formation was believed to be 200 million years ago during the Jurassic Period.<\/p>\n<p>There are many hikes in the Atlas Mountains, including the\u00a0Toubkal Circuit, where you will see the local mountain life. This is also Morocco\u2019s highest peak and is best visited with an experienced guide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although I have\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psimonmyway.com\/should-women-travel-alone-in-morocco\/\">traveled to Morocco solo<\/a>\u00a0many times, I still hire guides,\u00a0especially\u00a0in big mountain ranges like the Atlas. I do not feel 100% safe doing this on my own, but many professional hikers have done so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The best time to visit the Atlas Mountains is from April to October, but I do think that this is a destination you can visit all year round. During winter, the peaks turn into snow-capped mountains (December), and it can get extremely hot during the summer, especially if you want to do long hikes.<\/p>\n<p>Take note of the Ramadan season in Morocco, which happens for one month in the months of June\/July, depending on the calendar year. During Ramadan, everything will be closed during the day, and it will be more difficult to travel around Morocco.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"898\" alt=\"African cool natural landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-150x132.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-768x674.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 18 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains.jpg\" alt=\"African cool natural landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-150x132.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Africa-Natural-wonders-Atlas-Mountains-768x674.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 18 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The high Atlas Mountains in Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impressive_Natural_wonders_in_Africa_%E2%80%93_Tanzania\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impressive_Natural_wonders_in_Africa_-_Tanzania\"><\/span>Impressive Natural wonders in Africa \u2013 Tanzania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Kilimanjaro_Tanzania\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Kilimanjaro_Tanzania\"><\/span>Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Pamela from The Directionally Challenged Traveler<\/p>\n<p>Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most iconic and breathtaking natural landmarks in Africa. It\u2019s the tallest mountain in Africa, standing at over 19,000 feet, and is actually a dormant volcano. There are three volcanic cones \u2013 Mawenz, Shira, and Kibo. Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the Seven Summits in the world, along with Mount Everest and Denali, Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>Located in northeastern Tanzania, you can also see the mountain while on a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/directionallychallengedtraveler.com\/plan-a-safari-to-kenya\/\">safari in Kenya<\/a>. If you want to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro, all the climbing permits are through the Tanzania government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most people see Mount Kilimanjaro while on a safari. The beautiful mountain makes for an incredible backdrop for spotting elephants, giraffes, hippos, and more!<\/p>\n<p>Not only is it breathtaking, but it has unique characteristics, unlike other mountains. Mount Kilimanjaro sits at the equator, making it a warm destination year-round, but its peak is covered in snow. The mountain is directly surrounded by a forest but then quickly changes to a dry savannah for miles. There are also exclusive plants to see on the mountain, including the exquisite elephant head flower and the Kilimanjaro tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most magical and inspiring African wonders.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"858\" alt=\"Impressive Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-768x644.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 19 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa.jpg\" alt=\"Impressive Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kilimanjaro-Natural-Woners-in-Africa-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 19 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Serengeti_National_Park_Tanzania\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Serengeti_National_Park_Tanzania\"><\/span>Serengeti National Park, Tanzania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Coni from Experiencing the Globe<\/p>\n<p>In the northern part of Tanzania, on the border with Kenya, lays a National Park that will make everyone\u2019s inner child happy. Serengeti is the inspiration behind The Lion King, and with good reason \u2013 it\u2019s one of the best places in the world to see wild fauna, making it a true natural wonder.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to visit is to fly to Arusha and jump into an organized safari. Most will combine it with Ngorongoro, Tarangire, or Lake Natron, so make sure to ask for at least a few days in the Serengeti to fully appreciate it. You can also visit with your own wheels. Just rent a 4WD in Arusha, and off you go. You\u2019ll get more independence, but you\u2019ll lack the expertise of a licensed guide to spotting the harder-to-see animals. In any case, check that your agency\u00a0has a certification in responsible tourism and take steps to make<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/experiencingtheglobe.com\/reflections-from-the-serengeti-the-masai-sustainability-and-decolonizing-conservation\/\"> your visit to the Serengeti sustainable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The savanna will extend endlessly before your eyes as you enter the protected area. Zebras, wildebeest, impalas, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, lions, jackals, and hyenas, by the thousands, will welcome you. If you\u2019re lucky, maybe you\u2019ll also glimpse\u00a0cheetahs, leopards, or rhinos. For sure you\u2019ll see plenty of incredible wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid the peak season (June to September) if you want to see more animals than people. Shoulder season would be the best shot to catch as many animals as in the dry season, but without the crowds. Just avoid it during the height of the rainy season (March to May). If you\u2019re after seeing the wildebeest give birth to their calves, go in January or February.\u00a0If you\u2019re looking for the Great Migration, then you\u2019ll have to beat the odds since it can happen anytime between late April and early July.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Greatest natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 20 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe.jpg\" alt=\"Greatest natural landmarks in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Elephant-in-Serengeti-National-Park-Tanzania-Experiencing-the-Globe-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 20 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Serengeti National Park in Tanzania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ngorongoro_Crater_Tanzania\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ngorongoro_Crater_Tanzania\"><\/span>Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">\u00a0By Shara Johnson from SKJ Travel<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/skjtravel.net\/index.php\/15-features\/435-cruising-the-crater-and-glamping-near-the-wildlife-of-ngorongoro\">Ngorongoro Crater<\/a> is a unique natural wonder in north-central Tanzania. Located inside the greater Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the crater is the world\u2019s largest unbroken volcano, caldera.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The greater conservation area includes Olduvai and Laetoli Gorges, famous for their fossilized evidence of early hominids. The crater, though, is noted for its remarkable landscape and biodiversity conservation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Large numbers and a wide range of African wildlife concentrate inside the crater, including several threatened species. It\u2019s one of the dwindling places on earth where you can still see black rhinos in the wild. Because of its open grassland, it\u2019s also relatively easy to spot wildlife.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The area is culturally important, where the traditional, pastoralist Maasai tribe successfully co-exists with the wildlife.\u00a0Because of its cultural, paleontological, geologic, and biodiversity importance, the crater and greater area is a UNESCO World Heritage site.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The closest major city is Arusha. You can hook up with a safari company or self-drive approximately 120 miles to the crater,\u00a0or fly to a nearby airstrip. Several lodges are perched on or just behind the rim. Compared to\u00a0other wildlife\u00a0parks in Tanzania, the crater itself is quite small, so it makes\u00a0a perfect\u00a0one-day safari destination, ideal with a morning and evening\u00a0game drive. Descending into the crater at sunrise is a very special experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" alt=\"African Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-768x458.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 21 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg\" alt=\"African Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/africawonder_Ngorongoro-Crater-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 21 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"African_Natural_Wonders_%E2%80%93_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"African_Natural_Wonders_-_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo\"><\/span>African Natural Wonders \u2013 Democratic Republic of the Congo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virunga_National_Park_Democratic_Republic_of_Congo\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virunga_National_Park_Democratic_Republic_of_Congo\"><\/span>Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By De Wet from Museum of Wander<\/p>\n<p>Virunga National Park in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is Africa\u2019s oldest and most biodiverse national park. Stradling the border with Rwanda and Uganda, Virunga encompasses the snowy peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains in the north, two active volcanoes, a montane forest, open savannah, and Lake Kivu in the south.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Virunga has been listed as a UNESCO site since 1979 for its exceptional biodiversity and for protecting endangered mountain gorillas.<\/p>\n<p>Most visitors to Virunga are there for one reason only: the mountain gorillas.

They offer various activities and transportation options, and you know that your money will go directly to the park and its conservation efforts. There are a few exceptional lodges inside the park, but if your budget doesn\u2019t stretch that far, there are a few decent hotels in the nearby city of Goma.<\/p>\n<p>Goma is the gateway to Virunga, and while it does have an international airport, it\u2019s easier and cheaper to fly into Kigali in neighboring Rwanda. It\u2019s about a 4-hour bus ride from Kigali to the Grande Barrier border post, where Virunga staff will meet you.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"African Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 22 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\" alt=\"African Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Virunga-National-Park-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 22 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Nyiragongo_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Nyiragongo_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo\"><\/span>Mount Nyiragongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Lauren Juliff from Never Ending Footsteps<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neverendingfootsteps.com\/hiking-mount-nyiragongo-drc\/\">Mount Nyiragongo<\/a> is an active volcano, 11,000 feet in altitude, that\u2019s home to the world\u2019s largest lava lake.

Yes, you\u2019ll quickly discover that you\u2019re never more than a few meters away from an AK-47 while you\u2019re within Virunga National Park.<\/p>\n<p>It takes an average of five hours to hike to the summit of the volcano \u2013 and it\u2019s a challenging climb \u2013 but once you get there, you\u2019ll be greeted by one of the most incredible sights on the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An enormous, bubbling pool of lava; one of the few active volcanoes on the planet that\u2019s accessible to humans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And then comes the best part: spending the night!<\/p>\n<p>There are a dozen huts at the top of the volcano, so once you\u2019ve arrived at the top, you\u2019ll choose your accommodation, then settle in for a night of wonder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more incredible than falling asleep while listening to the sound of lava bubbling beside you. And if you get too cold, you can always creep up to the edge of the caldera to feel the volcano\u2019s heat against your face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Top wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27100\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 23 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mount-Nyiragongo-lava-lake-Africa-Wonders.gif\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mount-Nyiragongo-lava-lake-Africa-Wonders.gif\" alt=\"Top wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27100\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 23 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impressive_natural_wonders_in_Africa_%E2%80%93_other_countries\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impressive_natural_wonders_in_Africa_-_other_countries\"><\/span>Impressive natural wonders in Africa \u2013 other countries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Okavango_Delta_Botswana\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Okavango_Delta_Botswana\"><\/span>Okavango Delta, Botswana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Okavango Delta is possibly the most famous thing about Botswana, its most popular tourist destination and natural landmark. Thus, it is easily one of the most well-known natural wonders in Africa. Who hasn\u2019t seen a wildlife tv show about the animals, flora, and characteristics of the Okavango Delta?<\/p>\n<p>Known for its huge populations of mammals and birds, the delta covers up to 15 000 square km of the Kalahari Desert, owing its existence to the Okavango River, which flows from Angola, crosses Namibia\u2019s Caprivi Strip, and drains into the harsh Kalahari Desert, where the water forms a huge network of lakes and canals that don\u2019t flow into the sea of the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>It is paradoxical that peak floods happen during the dry months in Botswana when the delta expands up to three times, attracting animals and creating one of Africa\u2019s greatest concentrations of wildlife. This happens because the main source of water takes months to reach the delta from its source in the mountains of Angola.<\/p>\n<p>The Okavango Delta is an unexpected natural wonder. It is an oasis brimming with life in an extremely arid environment. It is a Natural UNESCO heritage site since comprising permanent marshlands and seasonally flooded plains.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Impressive natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-6976\" width=\"884\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-768x449.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 24 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg\" alt=\"Impressive natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-6976\" width=\"884\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/visit-Okavango-Delta-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 24 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Boat tour in the Okovango Delta in Botswana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fringing_Reef_and_Lagoon_of_Rodrigues_Island_Mauritius\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fringing_Reef_and_Lagoon_of_Rodrigues_Island_Mauritius\"><\/span>The Fringing Reef and Lagoon of Rodrigues Island, Mauritius<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Iris Veldwijk from Mind of a Hitchhiker<\/p>\n<p>Rodrigues is the last in a small chain of volcanic islands along with Mauritius and La R\u00e9union. It is the easternmost island of Africa. Though these other islands feature spectacular mountains and one active volcano, only Rodrigues has a truly enormous lagoon that makes human life possible here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the short domestic flight from Mauritius, the bright blue lagoon will be the first thing you see long before you see land. The fringe reefs with their lagoon are double the size of the island. Besides being huge, the lagoon is also incredibly shallow; at low tide, it\u2019s possible to walk all the way to where the waves batter the reef. The turquoise waters stand in stark contrast with the dark blue of the Indian Ocean. It forms a safety net for the Rodriguans who fish for <em>ourite<\/em> (octopus) and other seafood.<\/p>\n<p>The corals within the lagoon form excellent snorkeling and diving spots abundant with colorful fish. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mindofahitchhiker.com\/kayaking-from-port-mathurin-to-ile-aux-fous-and-two-other-islets\/\">Renting a kayak in Rodrigues is an excellent way to reach smaller islets in the lagoon<\/a>. If you\u2019re looking to learn how to kitesurf, this is one of the best places in the world for beginners, thanks to that wave-breaking reef. And lastly, you can experience the many shades of blue from various mountain peaks on Rodrigues, such as Mont Limon and Montagne Topaze.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" alt=\"Prime natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-768x577.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 25 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa.jpg\" alt=\"Prime natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ile-aux-Fous-Rodrigues-Mauritius-Africa-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 25 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Lagoon of Rodrigues Island in Mauritius<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lac_Rose_Senegal\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lac_Rose_Senegal\"><\/span>Lac Rose, Senegal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Eileen Gunn from FamiliesGo!<\/p>\n<p>Senegal is a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.familiesgotravel.com\/2016\/03\/africa-kids-what-to-do-in-senegal\/\">hidden gem in Africa<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a west coast country that\u2019s much closer to Europe and the U.S. than more popular Southern Africa destinations with a lot of interesting history and culture.<\/p>\n<p>One of its more outstanding destinations is Lac Rose (the Pink Lake), a UNESCO world heritage site 23 miles up the coast from Dakar. The endpoint for the Paris-Dakar rally, it gets its distinct pink hue from bacteria mixing with its extremely high saline content.<\/p>\n<p>The lake is fairly shallow and so concentrated that local people harvest salt from the lake by scooping it up off the bottom. You can hire a small pirogue to go out on the lake. But it might be more interesting to hire a jeep to drive all the way around it. You\u2019ll pass through lakeside villages, see harvesting the salt from their small pirogues, and see piles of salt drying on shore. It\u2019s fun and interesting but be ready for a rugged ride.<\/p>\n<p>Head for Caf\u00e9 Bonaba or Restaurant 212, both right next to the water. You\u2019ll find typical Senegalese dishes like fried fish and goat curry. There are basic changing rooms and a shower by the lake, so definitely bring your bathing suit and take a dip. You\u2019ll feel the thickness of the water when you try to swim, and you\u2019ll bob like a cork if you try sitting up with your legs crossed. Be sure to rinse off after your swim so the salt won\u2019t irritate your skin. Before you leave, look for local artisans selling their crafts, including pictures of the lake made with local sand dyed in different colors; it will be a unique souvenir of your visit to a unique lake.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Best African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 26 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg\" alt=\"Best African natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lac-Rose-Senegal-Natural-Wonders-in-Africa-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 26 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Lac Rose in Senegal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pin it for later<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27145\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders-100x150.jpg 100w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 27 natural wonders in africa\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Africa\" class=\"wp-image-27145\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/26-Africa-Natural-wonders-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" title=\"26 Natural Wonders in Africa 27 natural wonders in africa\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text \" style=\"margin-bottom:10px\">\n        Sharing is caring!  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
