Part g: What is the country known for?

To me, Africa is well-known for its natural sceneries and wildlife. There are many famous landmarks worth visiting in Africa. These landmarks are the hot spots for tourists and are visited by many people across the globe. One of these landmarks is the Mosi-oa-Tunya meaning “The smoke That Thunders” and often known as Victoria Falls. This natural wonder is made by thousands of years of erosion. One can have activities such as the Victoria Falls bungee jump which is regards as the highest commercial jump in the world. Next in the north-eastern part of Africa, you can find Egypt and the famous ancient pyramids. There are also many more beautiful landmarks available which are the “must-visit” in Africa.

There are many wildlife parks in Africa. In Tanzania, there are about 14 wildlife parks in the area. One of the most famous and largest is the Serengeti, with a massive concentration of migratory animals. Serengeti means “endless plain” in Masai language. One can try the Hot Air Ballooning where you can have a bird’s eye view of the whole place on a hot air balloon. (Game Reserve) http://www.game-reserve.com/tanzania_serengeti_np.html
