Pyramids of Egypt
The famed pyramids along the Nile are at their best in Giza, where the three
greatest tombs stand. The one built 46 centuries ago for Pharaoh Khufu is one of
the original ancient Seven Wonders.
Gaza,
west of Cairo.
Serengeti Migration
A million wild animals take an annual circuit
around the plains in search of fresh grass and water. The Serengeti Migration
is nature's grandest show.
Kenya & Tanzania.
Ngorongoro Crater
Imagine being on the vast floor of an ancient collapsed volcano
that is home to wild safari animals including lions, rhinos, zebras and
elephants. That's the Ngorongoro Crater.
Tanzania.
Victoria Falls is one of the world's two most
powerful falls. Its rim is 100 meters (330 feet) high and 1700 meters (1 mile)long.
Zambia & Zimbabwe.
Karnak Temple
Karnak Temple was the leading Egyptian spiritual center several thousand years ago. The complex was built
along the Nile and is incredibly large. The star is the high columned Great Hypostyle Hall.
Egypt.
Nearly every traveler inflicted with wanderlust
dreams of cruising down the Nile. Some 200 cruise boats await them. The sights
of ancient temples and everyday life along the river banks become cherished memories.
Egypt.
Its many rooms house treasured antiquities. The King Tutankhamun
("King Tut") room is the most popular. The Egyptian museum also has a mummy
room, which openly displays several pharaohs.
Cairo, Egypt.
The Valley of the Kings is an arid valley near the Nile River. Ancient pharaonic tombs (including King Tut's) were
dug deep into its steep slopes. Some tomb walls have remarkable wall paintings.
Egypt.
Four immense statues of the great Egyptian pharaoh Rameses protect the entrance
to his Abu Simbel temple overlooking the Nile River.
Northern Africa.
The Sahara Desert stretches 5,000 kilometers (3,000 miles) across northern Africa. Despite its
severe dryness, the Sahara Desert has villages, trade routes,
and trans-Sahara tours.
Northern Africa.

The selections are the first 10 African wonders on my Top 100 Wonders of the World list. That list - since 1968 - has been researched and updated.
