My Africa Bucket List
I’ve been lucky enough to have seen so much of Europe, Asia and Australia now but there is still so much of the world to see and Africa is next on my list!
One of the reasons why I was so excited to visit Morocco is because it is my first experience of Africa, which only gets me more excited about wanting the visit more of this vast, diverse and exotic continent and I want to get planning all the other adventures I want to have here.
Pin Me 🙂
Africa is a huge continent with so much diversity and so much more to see than just safaris. From bustling souks and medinas to historic sights and some of the wonders of the world, to the great expanse of the Sahara desert, stunning natural wonders, amazing wildlife and not forgetting ancient and modern cities and tribal communities – Africa has it all and must be the ultimate adventure.
There’s so much to explore in Africa it would probably need more than one lifetime so I thought it was about time I put together my Africa bucket list!
