I love Africa! There’s an abundance of scenic, entertaining places to visit in Africa; magnificently well-run hotels, restaurants offering a wide variety of delicacies (local and continental) and resorts for sight-seeing, fun and romance.
If you’re a foodie and weary traveler looking for somewhere to stop by and sample some choice African and International food, look no further than these six places.
