These gorgeous dunes in Namibia show the beautiful shapes and colors of the desert. The ever-changing dunes offset a bed of white clay strewn with ancient camelthorn trees.

Seated on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambezi river, this is one of the most spectacular falls in the world. At a height of 354 ft and

a width 5604 ft, it's technically not the tallest or largest, but produces the largest sheet of water. Plus, it's pretty much a rainbow machine. This a visit you'll never

forget.

You can see literally millions of animals migrate through the plains of the Serengeti. It's like The Lion King come to life. 

The highest mountain in Central Africa is a tough hike, but well worth it. Surrounded by streams, wildlife and amazing views, you'll get a good workout and some great pics.

The river at the cradle of civilization holds the many wonders of Egypt. And you can see it all cruising on a sick boat!

The Southern Cross is a key constellation only visible from the southern hemisphere. Used historically for navigation, like the northern hemisphere used the North Star, this wonderful sight has one

of the clearest views from Luangwa, Zambia.

You get to see a million flamingos in a lake. That's reason enough to visit.

If a vacation on a desert island sounds like a dream come true, take a visit across the Bazaruto Archipelago on Benguerra Island. In addition to gorgeous beaches, you get

to see whales, manatees, and dolphins frolic in the sea.

The reserve holds 250 white and black rhino, who's numbers are rapidly dwindling. Other animals also roam the reserve, so get a taste of Kenya's best wildlife.

Visiting an active volcano containing a lake of lava sounds like something out of Indiana Jones. But you can safely do it and have some pretty exciting vacation stories to tell when

you get home.
