We all have reasons for not traveling, whether it be budget constraints, work getting the better of us or the simple lack of desire to travel. If you don’t make travel a priority, you will never overcome these reasons and will probably never travel much at all. We all have regrets but research has shown that one of the greatest regrets in life is not taking the time to do some traveling.
In order to spark some desire for travel, VIP Express Tourism Limited has created a “Bucket List” of things to see and do in an Africa tour before time runs out. Have a look at the options and see how many of these you can tick off the list.
Visit Independence Square in Ghana:
Also known as “Black Star Square”, is a public square in Accra, Ghana. It is the second-largest city square in the world and can seat around thirty thousand people. It is especially busy on the 6th of March as Ghana celebrates their day of independence.
Enjoy a mesmerizing sunset on top of Table Mountain, Cape Town – South Africa:
It is no surprise that we have chosen this iconic tourist attraction to be top of our list.

Witness the great wildlife migration in the Serengeti – Tanzania and Kenya:

Shop up a storm at the exclusive Canal Walk, Cape Town – South Africa:
Do your shopping in a world-class style at Canal Walk. With spectacular architecture and over 400 shops, Canal Walk is definitely a must- visit tourist destination. Canal Walk offers you with the widest selection of specialty shops in the Southern Hemisphere.
Be in awe at the sight of The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt:
One of the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it is truly magnificent to be in such close proximity to such an ancient piece of history. The pyramid is believed to have been built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu and was constructed over a 20-year period. While you are there – do not forget to have a wander around The Great Sphinx of Giza as well. With a body of a lion and head of a king or god, the Sphinx has come to symbolize strength and wisdom.
Soar over the Victoria Falls on the Zambia – Zimbabwe Border:
One of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world, The Victoria Falls is 1708 meters wide, which makes it the largest curtain of water in the world. What better way to view the enormity of this thunderous flow of water than from the sky?
