54 countries, a
varied and dramatic landscape, rich cultural bonanza and a continent steeped in
mystery, that’s Africa! For you!
According to a
report published by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the African
continent happens to be one of the fastest growing world tourist destinations.
At the same time we still hear people express wonder and hesitation when
planning to visit an African destination. The continent is infamous for tales
of violence, criminal activities and a sense of wild de javu. It is quite to
hear prospective travellers express a kind of nervousness. But strangely enough
most of what we hear is not true. And the best way to find out is to travel to
one of these fascinating African countries.
Africa is beautiful
and the one thing we need to understand that problems in Africa cannot be
generalized and in many cases are exaggerated in some cases. Each country is different with its own set of issues just as
destinations across the world. The continent is ripe for those wanting to
volunteer abroad. Volunteering in Africa
is the best way to experience the beautiful land. You not only travel
through unbeaten paths, meet warm locals, eat traditional food but get to help
some of the underprivileged in the bargain.
Volunteer work
in Africa is the thing to do. There are a number of
legitimate non-profit organizations that advertise for volunteers. The idea is
to explore the magical continent and help uplift those in need. You can work
with women and children, help educate kids or become a wildlife volunteer.
