For Once In A Lifetime Africa Vacations Fresno Tourists Should Consult Specialist Travel Agents

By Henry Harris


Earth is a beautiful planet with an incredible variety of magnificent landscapes, animals, birds and plants. Humans, however, have tamed the world and today many species of fauna and flora no longer thrive where they used to be available in abundance. The African continent may be one exception. It still has vast areas that are undeveloped and that looks much the same as it did thousands of years ago. For magnificent Africa vacations Fresno families can book on line or at a travel agency.

The African continent has been blessed with many unique animals, birds and plants that only occurs there. It is the ultimate destination for many dedicated bird watchers and visitors that wants to observe the rich wild life in a natural setting. Strict conservation laws are in place in many countries, although keen trophy hunters can still practice their sport. It can be extremely expensive though.

Another big attraction of the African continent is its many different cultures. Visitors are treated to interactive cultural experiences that range from trying traditional cuisine, joining in traditional dances and even living with families that still live as there forefathers did. Many museums and cultural centres depict the rich and ancient history of this continent. Of course, the influence of colonization is still seen everywhere.

Many tourists, especially those from the Northern hemisphere, think that the African continent is primitive and without the comforts of developed nations. Nothing can be further from the truth. Many countries offer very sophisticated accommodation, effective communications, internet access and well maintained infrastructure catering for safe transport, banking, electricity and safe drinking water. Many of these countries depend heavily on income from tourism and do everything they can to make visitors welcome and comfortable.

It is also true that many regions in the world are experiencing conflict and it is important that potential tourists do their homework before travelling to any country, not just African countries. In some countries tourists are seen as legitimate targets for violence, kidnapping or even killing. Before making any final decisions it is also necessary to enquire about immunization requirements, visa application processes and currency exchange facilities.

When planning an African holiday many tourists opt for a coach tour. It is the least expensive option and all reputable tour operators employ experienced and qualified tour guides. The disadvantage is that the itinerary is planned in detail and tourists have little choice regarding the activities and routes planned for them. Many others choose to hire a car and to plan their own itinerary. These days it is easy to do so on line.

Young people from Europe and North America frequently visit the content on extended working trips. They go to the continent under the auspices of reputable aid agencies and charities. In exchange for accommodation and meals they commit themselves to work as teachers, aid distributors and even manual labourers. When they have time off, which is normally frequent, they travel the country and see the many sights.

Africa is an ancient continent, the origin of all human life. Over the ages, it has maintained its mysticism, its unique cultures and its heritage. It is most certainly worth a visit. Perhaps this is the last true unspoilt continent left on the planet.
