Posted on August 14, 2010 | Travel DestinationsNo Comment


The true beauty and charm of the African Landscapes and its unique spirit can fill pages and pages of books. We are on a mission to list some of the must see sights of these gorgeous African cities.

Senegal:

For any African traveler Dakar should be on a must see and do list. This place has beautiful beaches and a lot of similarities to the famed Paris.

The people are polite and charming. A fantastic place to visit for the shopping experience alone. Ile Goree is the UNESCO world heritage sight which is again a must see. It is not very far away from Dakar and in the past was used as a slave export port.

St. Louis is the former capital city of Senegal and bears great resemblance to New Orleans in the United States of America.  St. Louis was the first settlement for the French invaders. This city is also a World Heritage site for its history along the National Park of Djoudj. It was built in 1659 and even today is a honor to visit.

In the eastern part of Senegal lies the Nicolo-Koba National Park. It is also a World Heritage Site. This beautiful national park has each and every animal and plant species found in West Africa.

One of the best game parks in West Africa is the Parc National de Pendjari. It is situated in southeast of Senegal.

Mauritius:

The city of Grand Baie has grand plans for all its visitors. Great night life and a planet full of restaurants and bars make your life a dream. One can swim, sail or wind surf in the deep blue seas. The serene islands have beautiful beaches wherein you can engage in activities of water skiing and excursions in boats.

Water sports and some of the best beaches in the whole of Mauritius make Flacq the city of your dreams.

A paradise where the people of Mauritius go on a holiday is the city of Rodrigues. It is a paradise away from paradise. Rodrigues is less crowded and a simpler environment compared to the main Island.

Rwanda:

The amazing rain forests are full of colobus monkeys, chimpanzees, fifty different species of mammals. There are an astounding 275 species of bird and 270 various tress species. The Parc National Nyungwe Forest in Africa is the oldest rain forests with gorgeous views. This signals the fact that Rwanda is getting back on its feet after the shocking genocide that took place in the year 1994.

Gisenye is a serene lakeside resort that has plenty of water sport activities to offer. It is located by the river Kivu. A must see sight nearby is the Parc National des Volcans. It is amazing sight of seven volcanoes whose slopes are covered with rainforests and bamboo forests. Mystery surrounds this place as it is the last place where the rare Mountain Gorilla was seen.
