josietravelblog: Magic of Africa.

              To experience an African Vacation full of fun and activities, one should start with South Africa. To actually enjoy the journey, I suggest booking hotel and car rental in advance and I recommend Table Bay Hotel & Victoria-Fall hotel. Start your journey by visiting Transkei the birth place of Nelson Mandela, then move on to Johannesburg and drive to Victoria Falls to experience the wonder of Africa.

              South Africa is known for tasty wines, so take a Wine Tasting tour, visit Cape Winelands and explore the largest wine producing region in South Africa. The Table Mountain is a must see attraction because you can view all Cape Town at once from the top of this mountain and Soweto is a perfect place to sample local cuisines and experience South African Night life.

             Make a date with Mountain Gorillas and Chimps and watch as they climb mountains in Ngamba Island, Lake Victoria. Drive down to Chobe National Park in Botswana and see the largest group of Elephants in Africa. Save a whole day to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and visit Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro the famous wildlife sanctuary in the world.

Experience a balloon ride across Massai Mara in Nairobi, Kenya and don't forget to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Forrest. Also visit the "Big Hole" the largest man-made excavation in the world.

The best way to see South and East Africa is to board the famous "Rovo Rail" and enjoy the Great Train Journeys. The Blue Train is perfect for sightseeing in South Africa. This is a luxury train/hotel with opportunity to see landscapes and visit tourist attractions. Shongololo Express is a full service Travelling train/hotel that serves breakfast and dinner. It is the best way to explore Africa and it has a tour van for a guided sightseeing touring during the day.

Downtown Nairobi, Kenya is a place to be for shopping and entertainment. To experience beach life, head to Zanzibar Island. This spice Island was once the center for the slave trade and an excellent destination for a beach vacation.
