3. Taste the sensational cuisine
Foodies often describe Africa as heaven after tasting the delectable meals here. In fact, if you are someone who loves to experiment with your taste buds, then you have to try the most delicious meat served here, right from ostrich, to Springbok and Kudu.

4. Visit the Kalahari Desert and greet the Bushmen
If you haven’t heard of the Bushmen before, they are the nomads who have inhabited the Kalahari Desert for thousands of years now.

It is a truly great cultural experience to meet the Bushmen and understand their fascinating way of life.
