Planning a vacation to Africa is sure to be an interesting experience. Although most trips involve quite a bit of activity, there are also great opportunities to relax in the midst of your adventures. The length of your stay will most likely play a large role in determining the type of vacation you choose as well as which areas you decide to visit.

If wanting a ground safari that brings you nose to nose with amazing wildlife, it is best to choose a limited amount of regions to cover. On the other hand, visiting several locations is easily possible if choosing to travel by plane. This allows you to see Africa's amazing landscapes from a unique angle. From there, you can still choose to participate in a driving or walking tour. When considering various types of Africa safaris there are also lesser thought of types of safaris that offer interesting ways to experience the continent. Some of these options include horseback, canoeing, hot-air ballooning, and elephant safaris.
For the more active traveler Africa vacations can offer endless recreation. With opportunities for trekking, white water rafting, and shark diving, you will be able to acquaint yourself with your surroundings in a way unlike anything else you have ever encountered. Some noteworthy activities to consider are technical hikes up the snow-capped Rwenzories, fishing at Lake Victoria, and sand boarding in the Namib Desert. As these adventures will undoubtedly leave you tired, but exhilarated, it is beneficial to balance out these adventures with some of the many cultural offerings or even a few days on the beaches along the beautiful coast.
Visiting the many different communities in Africa is undoubtedly like traveling to another world. The ability to interact with the culturally and historically rich tribes is life-changing to say the least. From visiting a Masai tribal village to meeting the San Tribe Bushman, interspersing these excursions with your wildlife adventures will provide you with a well-rounded and enriching trip. Another option to consider when planning for Africa vacations is taking advantage of the beaches of the coast. Offering a more relaxing experience, you can enjoy the warm, but temperate weather while swimming in the ocean, shopping, and appreciating the interesting architecture. The Kenyan coast in particular has a unique mix of African, Arab, and European cultures that is not to be missed. With all of these unique experiences at your fingertips, your biggest concern will be how to see it all!
