That said, here are 5 great African destinations that offer the best of what any traveller would seek from a vacation spot.

1. Kenya: Possessing the advantage of being a visa-on-entry country to Nigerians, Kenya offers culture, night life, wild life and more, all at affordable rates.

2. Rwanda: With return tickets going for as low as N100,000, Rwanda is a picturesque, hospitable country that has come a long way from the war-torn country it used to be known as.

3. Tanzania: Another visa-on-entry country to Nigeria, explore the city offerings in places like Dar es Salam and Arusha, and afterwards you can enjoy a ferry ride to Zanzibar for a chance to lounge on sandy, white beaches.

4. Namibia: This country offers a range of activities including camping, wildlife sightings, sand boarding in the desert, and our personal favourite - skydiving over the Atlantic Ocean and hot air ballooning over the magnificent Namib-Naukluft National Park.

5. Ghana: If you're looking for a quick, quiet getaway, Ghana is a great option as it offers affordable lodgings, feeding and more.
