Eightfold; for that BOMB SELFIE
It’s all for the gram. From food, pets, a walk in the mall, everything has to be put up on that Instagram page. Social media has somehow taken control of our lives to an unbelievable extent. Well not that it’s any of my business but don’t you think you would enjoy the moment without capturing it. Nonetheless, let us look into some of the top 8 places to take your “perfect gram photo”.
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!
