6 Must visit Attractions and Landmarks in Africa

1.Kakum National Park

Kakum National Park is half an hour's drive from Cape Coast,from the central regional capital kakum park its verdant slice of semi-deciduous rainforest offers a fresh green alternative to the bustling cities and stifling heat of the coast.
Kakum National Park’s onsite café offers a range of local and international dishes. While the park can be easily visited in a day from Cape Coast and the surrounding area, there is accommodation in the park itself.
The 607 square kilometres (234 square miles) of protected rainforest are home to an assortment of wild residents, including forest elephants, giant hogs, leopards and various species of monkey. However, with much of the elusive wildlife buried deep in the forest's flora, there's little chance of seeing anything more than a millipede or two unless spending a night on an organised camping trip. 

2. The Pyramids, Egypt

One of the must visit place is the ancient great Pyramids built in the ancient days  as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens in egypt,this place is  near Cairo, this  pyramids are  renowned Egyptian icons, pictured in most Hollywood movies. However, these massive tombs are literally the resting places of the mummified remains of Egypt’s dead pharaohs, the sacred resting places leaders of history can continue to receive prayers, food, and other offerings in the afterlife.  The most recognized tombs at this location are that of Pharaoh Khufu (or Pharaoh Cheops) and the great Sphinx, the half-human half-lion monument.

3.Fish River Canyon, Namibia

The Fish River Canyon in Namibia is (allegedly) the 2nd largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon. Today the canyon measures 160km long up to 27km wide and almost 550m at its deepest. It is fair to say that when you arrive at the canyon though, its exact location is a bit of a mystery as the 500m vertical drop from the flat dry plateau is completely out of view.
Rallying the magnificence of the Grand Canyons in the USA, Fish River Canyon is made up of a 160-kilometer ravine that stretches 27-kilometers wide, with the racing Fish River ravine flows through the heart. The canyon is idyllic for hiking as well as for spotting zebra, wild horses, Kudu antelope, and over 60 different species of birds.
