Aldabra, Seychelles:

Africa


The world's second largest Coral atoll, Aldabra is one of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, which is more than 1,100 kilometers (700 miles) from Mahe, the largest island of the Seychelles. With a total area of 60 square miles (155.4 kms) and them being divided into four individual islands, the Aldabra Islands are closer to the coast of Africa. Known to humanity for centuries, these islands whose name has an Arabic origin, brings along a mystery as to why it has not been able to sustain even a small human settlement.

Due to the obscurity of access and the atoll's isolation, Aldabra is virtually unscathed by humans and as a result preserves some 152,000 giant tortoises, the world's largest population of this reptile. The atoll is also acknowledged for the Coconut crab, the world's largest land crab, and hammerhead sharks, manta rays, barracuda and as a breeding ground for green turtles and hawksbill turtles which present an unforgettable view to the onlookers.

Chefchaouen, Morocco:

Chefchaouen was once part of the hippy trail from Marrakech to the Rif Mountains. With a name as exotic as this, it is no wonder why people find the place captivating. Lucky for the hippies, the place has lived up to the aura it so easily creates. The blue-hued city with the majestic Rif Mountains as a background and a charming medina, Chefchaouen may be outshined by the more well-known Marrakech or Tangiers, but it has developed a status of its own as an artisan's city. In Chefchaouen, you might be offered "Kif", a mind altering substance; and if you are into it, you might end up staying for more than one session of "Kif on the Rif".

Cape Town, South Africa:

Victoria Falls:


Africa


There is no other experience similar to getting a thorough soaking from the powerful and roaring Victoria Falls that lies in between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. Just over a mile wide and 335 feet high, its spray which shoots 1000 feet into the air is so impressive from the look-out points that it makes you feel like you are in middle of a bucketing rainstorm. The sprays of Victoria Falls can be seen from 30 miles away which is why it is given the name Mosi-oa-Tunya (Smoke That Thunders).
