Go to Africa!

Go to Africa!

There’s no excuse for not visiting Africa. It is an enormous continent, with more variety of cultures and people than nearly any other continent on Earth. The river Nile, the longest in the world, spans several extremely interesting countries. If you’re interested in animals, however, visiting Africa is an absolute must do, just like finding van insurance northern Ireland.

There are a few different types of zebra, from the largest Grevys to the smallest Grants. The Grevys has a distinctive mane which goes right from the tip of the tail to the front of its forehead. There are different types of giraffe, including the very rare Rothschild giraffe which can be identified by the white patches beneath the knees. Ostriches – perhaps the least intelligent creature in the animal kingdom – run around the plains and basins of Africa. There are African hunting dogs, with their distinctive cackle and enormous ears, and of course the iconic rhino.

What most people seem to visit Africa for though is the African elephant. This is the largest type of elephant, weighing in at up to seven tonnes. There are around a million calories in an elephant – great if you’re an African hunting dog, bad if you’re on a diet.

Don’t be put off by the threat of revolution or hijacking or kidnapping or just being shot. Africa is becoming increasingly safe for Western tourists, even out on safari. Your guides will protect you from gangs and looters, and provided you don’t tie an elephant’s trunk in a knot then you’ll probably not come to too much harm from the animals either.
