By Maono Safaris Tours & Travel Kenya
When most people think of Africa, one word comes to mind: safari. Lions, elephants, the Big Five—iconic, breathtaking, unforgettable. But Africa is far more than wildlife drives and game parks. It’s a continent overflowing with culture, adventure, history, cuisine, beaches, mountains, music, and soul-stirring human connection.
If you’ve ever wondered, “What else is there to do in Africa besides a safari?” — here’s your answer.
Get ready to discover the Africa you never imagined.
