What are some tourist spots in Africa?

Did you know that South Africa is the adventure capital of the world? All the daredevils reading this will be interested to know that there are at least 130 different extreme exploits available, including white-water rafting, abseiling and shark cage-diving. South Africa has almost 3000KM of beautiful coastline for all the sun worshippers out there, plus plenty of golfing, hiking, climbing in all sorts of different terrains, from forest to desert. Rising to 19,340 ft above the plains of Africa, Kili is the highest mountain in Africa. Unusually for such a lofty peak, the highest point, Uhuru, is accessible to anyone who is moderately fit, and many make the pilgrimage to climb Kili every year. It is definitely one of the highlights of any trip to Tanzania. The grandiose Victoria Falls are located on the mighty Zambezi River, at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The locals call them “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means the “smoke that thunders” – an apt description for the columns of spray that can be seen and heard from miles away. The name by which it is known globally was given by the noted explorer and missionary Dr. David Livingstone, who named the Falls after Queen Victoria during a visit in 1855. The Great Pyramids at Giza need no introduction! They are the most recognizable icon of Egypt, together with the Sphinx. Most of the pyramids were built as tombs to preserve the mummified bodies of the dead pharaohs and keep them safe and undisturbed in their afterlife. The Great Pyramid was built from 2.3 million stone blocks, weighing in at an unfathomable 5.9 million tons – roughly equivalent to 590 Eiffel Towers.
