Often in the Francophone archipelago, you have plenty of opportunities to practice your French language.
#2. South Africa
Visit the homeland of actress Charlize Theron and Daily Show host Trevor Noah. This country is a cultural melting pot because of the diversity of its indigenous peoples and the centuries of colonialism.
People often speak many languages, including Afrikaans, Xhosa and English. There is a lot to do here, including hiking and surfing in Cape Town. Or, if you like the hustle and bustle of city life, dine for a few days in Johannesburg.
#3. Swaziland
Swaziland is a small country between Mozambique and South Africa. Although many may focus on the health and economic problems of the country, do not allow yourself to be deterred.
Swaziland has some beautiful forests. It is home to more than 500 species of birds and more than 100 exotic, endangered mammals.
If you want to capture rough photos of protected animals, this is the place to visit.
#4. Egypt
Culturally, North African countries may be completely different from South African countries. This distinction is clear between Egypt on this list and the countries at the top of this list.
The languages, customs and peoples of Egypt are greatly affected by its Middle Eastern and Arab neighbours. Still, we know why you want to go to Egypt.
