Africa has some adventures that you will not find anywhere else in the world, with such things as the Wildebeest Migration and the Victoria Falls being among the most popular. There are other things that you should not miss though, as they will be experiences that you will never forget.

Go Diving With Whale Sharks

Whales sharks, which are longer than school buses, are relaxed creatures that provide wonderful underwater experiences, which is why seeing them should be on every travel bucket list. They are playful, tranquil and relaxed. They gather off the southern coast of Kenya from October to April and hold many records in the animal kingdom for their size. They are rarely found in waters with temperatures below 21 degrees, which is why they appear around the islands such as Zanzibar’s.

The Camels Of Samburu

Samburu is best explored in the traditional way, on the back of a camel.  They have been used as a mode of transport for centuries in North Africa and a trek on camels through Samburu will be the experience of a lifetime. They have an unrivaled ability to stand up to heat and thirst and are an ideal way to get close to the wilderness while keeping you perched on high to view the surrounding sights and wildlife. You are more likely to get close to wild animals on a camel than you would in a car, as the animals are not so frightened of them as they are the roar of a motor engine.

Playing With Chimpanzee’s

Most people know how playful chimpanzees can be and meeting a group of them can be amazing. They are exciting and intriguing, which is exactly how they will feel about you too. As one of the most active and vocal members of the monkey family, their intelligence and emotions are a pleasure to behold. Tanzania is a perfect place if you want to go trekking with the chimpanzees.

Tracking Turtles Along The Ocean Floor

The first thing newly hatched turtles need to do is to reach the warmth of the Indian Ocean before hungry seagulls eat them. There are always many hundreds of them scuttling along the ocean floor to safety. Turtles may be awkward on land, but put them in water and they become graceful and acrobatic, a real pleasure to watch.  On South Africa’s kwaZulu-Natal Coast this scene is replayed every year, as it has been for centuries. The turtles swim the length of East Africa, to return to the beach where they were born.

See The Rock Art Of Cederberg

One of the favoured holiday destinations in the western cape, Cederberg is just a few hours drive from Cape Town and has more than 130 sites of different rock arts located within the Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve.  Rock art is the first recorded history and seeing the images in their natural state makes it easier to relate to the people that mastered them. The colors, elegance and symbolism of these wonderful pieces truly is amazing and something that is well worth taking the trip to see.

Africa is an amazing continent and there are many other trips that are could be very enjoyable. These five are just a few of the ones that given the choice you should try to experience. What are other African Adventures to Have Before You Die? Let us know in the comments below!
