Eightfold; for that BOMB SELFIE
1. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
To kick off this list I will
start with Victoria Falls named by explorer David Livingstone after Queen
Victoria. Of course, I will start with my country, that’s my home. Mosi-oa-Tunya,
the 'Smoke that Thunders', is a reference to the tremendous spray and rumbling
that the Falls produce, but its native African name is far more expressive. The
Falls are twice as high as Niagara Falls, with a width of 1,700 meters and a
depth of 108 meters. And the savannah, which is full of rhinos, hippos, and
lions, surrounds them. You are guaranteed to get a great selfie here so many
spots to choose from.
2. Serengeti, Tanzania
Ah, it's here. Renowned
Serengeti. This is where you're going to find your wildebeest and acacia trees.
As you'll know from all of your pictures of Africa, this is one of the most
distinctive and wonderful places on Earth. Check out the Olduvai Gorge while
you're there, both a magnificent place and maybe where humanity was born.
3. Djenne, African City of Mud
Overlooked by most tourists,
Djenne is a tiny island on a map, a refuge for bandits and smugglers (yes, stay
woke), and fantasy for photographers. But once you look at its surreal
elegance, with its ineffable mosque, you can't know how it catches the soul of
a human.
4. Capetown, South Africa
Cape Town is perhaps Africa's
most beautiful city. It's hard to beat the urban beauty of an Instagram spot
with the meeting of 2 oceans and Table Mountain springing up in the distance. Your selection ranges from Sanbi Kirstenbosch
Gardens to V&A Waterfront with a whole lot of spots in between.
5. Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
Also known as the pyramid of
Khufu or the pyramid of Cheops, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and
largest pyramid in the Giza complex in Cairo, Egypt. A UNESCO World Heritage
Site, the work of thousands and thousands of men, the Pyramids and the Sphinx
of Giza, was considered to the ancients as a Wonder of the World. Five thousand-year-old pyramids poking up out
of the Sahara, do I need to say more?
6. Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia
Sidi Bou Said is Tunisia's
beautiful Mediterranean coastal village, which has attracted great painters and
authors for over a century. Before the French artist, Baron Rodolphe D'Erlanger
orchestrated a paint scheme of whitewash and light blue that now encompasses
the entire village, it was once a local religious site looking out into the
turquoise waters of the ocean. The buildings are also famous, with crescent
designs on many, for their great studded doors.
7. Chefchouen, Morocco
For years, the blue city of
Morocco has dazzled tourists and it is easy to see why, with its beautiful streets,
creaking doorways, and mountain backdrop. Speak of unique and authentic!
8. Diani Beach, Kenya
Kenya is stealing the spotlight a
bit here, I couldn't go past this country, it has so much beauty to talk about.
If you're searching for the fascinating coastline, the accented with the blue
Indian Ocean, the fine white sand, and the strange tropical palm tree, Diani is
the package for you!
