Given the size and diversity of the African continent, choosing just ten destinations for this bucket-list article was no easy task. Of course, the places that top your must-see list will depend on your personal interests and preferences - but here, we look at ten of Africa's most evocative, iconic and unfishable spots. Kenya's Masai Mara is a wonderland of spectacular scenery, colorful native culture and unparalleled wildlife-spotting opportunities. The park connects to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, and together, the two parks create the ultimate safari destination. This is your best bet for spotting the Big Five in a single morning, and for witnessing East Africa's famous wildebeest migration.
