What is the best way to travel around Africa?
Flying is a serious option to consider when navigating your way around this vast continent. So, naturally, you will be keeping that in mind as you weigh up your options for cheap flights to Africa. In fact, if you're looking at holidays in Zanzibar or Mauritius, Africa flight deals will be your only option since both destinations are islands off the coast of the continent, as you know. You may want to consider car hire if you're keen on exploring the whole of Mauritius, but for Zanzibar, the island is quite small, so you can put that money towards your Africa airfare.
What are some things to do in Africa?
This is such a huge continent, so you will never be bored, that's for sure. But if you want to relax and be a beachbum, then Zanzibar is the perfect spot. The island's beaches are among the best off the African coast. If you're planning your honeymoon, you should seriously look at Zanzibar as an option when you compare and book flights to Africa. Stone Town on the island is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there's lots to do.
