Wonders of Africa

Lets start the story about these interesting samples with Mount Kilimanjaro, Mostly referred to as the highest point of Africa by mountain climbers. Mount Kilimanjaro is actually the tallest mountain in the African region.

Its highest peaks rest at an altitude of 5895 meters above the sea level. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro is a memorable hike, full of adventure and life-long experience as one goes from one campsite to another at different altitudes of the mountain.

Most climbers prefer climbing this gigantic African mountain during February and July, though it is accessible to all throughout the year.

Apart from this vast extinct volcano, more and more of African wonders will always leave you with a lot of questions to as yourself as you watch in disbelief the rare adventures as you go through this land of drama!

Have you ever heard about the yearly migration of the wildebeests? If yes, then you only need to come to Africa and see for yourself what you are missing.

This is one of the most spectacular scenes in this world of tourism. It normally takes place between the northern part of Serengeti national park in Tanzania and the southern part of Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya.

The unbelievable long and vast line of a huge mass of migrating animals consists of both grazers and browsers of the plains game. The main reason for their migration is known and understandable, but their tactics and determination of crossing the river is difficult to comprehend.

Their movement pattern during their search for greener pastures is consistent and predictable, and lots of drama at the crossing point along the Mara river make tourists come to Africa year in, year out!

Africa consists of people of different tribes and languages. There exist as many ethnic languages as there are ethnic tribes. Some communities may share the names of some objects or how they refer to different occasions of seasons while other communities are completely different depending on their direction of origin or the influence they experienced during the invasion of Africa by the white.

After a lot of time has passed and so many remarkable changes have been noticed since the tracking of the evolution of man started, some communities have managed to maintain their traditional African heritage while others have either been modernised or civilised.

Africa still boasts a chain of cultural lifestyle that marks it one of the most sort after cultural destination in the whole world.
