As already wrote, some items cause bewilderment. I am not silent in North Africa, but it seems to me the sphinx you can safely combine with the pyramids, because they are in one place. Regarding sugar, I know many enthusiasts who prefer Libyan or Algerian Sahara. For example, photo from photosite Victoria Rogatna
Algerian sugar

Libyan Sahara

For some reason, speaking of the horse safari, allocated Kenya, although there are no less interesting equestrian safaris in Calahari, in Botswana. Moreover, such safari are held by Uncharted Africa on the largest in Africa migration ZEBR

Mocoro is a very original way of safari, especially if we consider that such locals can meet on the berth :))

Well, the Okavango River Delta itself is undeservedly bypass.

I, of course, I feed the most tender feelings for Botswana and I am pleased that in the ranking she mentioned twice, but I do not understand why both salty lakes were attracting the attention of the compilers of the rating. It seems to me that the church (also drying the salt lake) is no less interesting than the same NXAI Pan

Again, in Namibia, Dunes Sosquesflaw - it's certainly great and they are engaged in a well-deserved place in the ranking, but Deadvlei with their surrealistic scenery should also be included.

I categorically, I have no idea about two Malawi attractions - Nyika Plateau National Park and Mount Mulanje. Probably, they are really interesting, but what managed to go on the Internet did not impress. As soon as we are talking about landscapes, then, in my opinion, not correctly bypassing the attention of Blyde Rive Canyon in South Africa. Again, this is the world's largest "green" canyon.

Kenyan icon Masai Mara could also be included in the rating. There are landscapes and animals in one bottle.

And for some reason completely forgot about original Madagascar. Where, as not in Morondava you will see such Baobabs

It seems that there are practically no unexplored places on Earth. However, Africa still remains not fully studied, and therefore the mysterious and mysterious continent.

Here you can always make the next opening. This Africa manites and at the same time scares travelers.

History, culture and traditions of this continent are so diverse that everyone will find here an interest here: be it beaches, numerous reserves, original tribes or desert.

Fourth, it lives here (and willingly demonstrate to tourists guides) Famous "African Big Five": Leopard, Leo, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo.
