Best Travel Spot?

 I have always been interested in what awesome tourists attractions were located in Africa. Therefore, this week I took the opportunity to research some places I might want to visit within the African Continent! 

The first place I found is Zanzibar! Zanzibar is an island located off the coast of Tanzania! I looked at many photos and it looks so beautiful. The waters are a pretty turquoise color. I also read you could do things like swim with dolphins, snorkeling, visit the forest, and lots more!

Another place that looked like a beautiful place to visit is Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls is located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. This trip would be more of a vacation where you get more in tune with nature...doing things such as hiking or water sports!

Cameroon is located in Africa between western and central Africa. Its name comes from Rio Dos Camarões.
