Africa is a beautiful continent with a lot of unique experiences you will most likely not find anywhere else in the world. The continent continues to attract a lot of tourists from far and wide who are seeking once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Is exploring Africa on your bucket list? Here are five experiences you should have in the motherland.

Wildlife viewing in the safaris of Kenya

There is no wildlife experience like the one in Africa. Therefore, most people look to the continent to cross their wildlife viewing fantasies off their bucket list. The best part is that there is something for everyone and every budget as the cost ranges from luxury to simple. A great country of choice for this experience is Kenya. Apart from its vibrant culture, the wildebeest migration is not one to miss. It happens between July and October, at the Maasai Mara reserve.
