Africa is particularly characterized by its unique flora and fauna and the national parks south of the Sahara. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve National Park in Botswana, the Etosha National Park in Namibia, the Kruger National Park in South Africa and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania deserve special mention. You can find first-class hotels in Mombasa and throughout Africa via HRS. The great diversity of animal species in Africa is also well worth seeing. Animal lovers should definitely book a safari, especially in southern Africa, to see and experience the Big Five, the five large mammals that used to be the main target on hunting safaris. Large parts of the economy in Central and Southern Africa are export-oriented. There are a considerable number of banana plantations, tropical timber, gold and diamond mines, as well as cocoa plantations. In addition, there are larger industrial and smaller craft businesses in the cities that produce for their own use, among other things. The Sahara is the largest desert in the world and is located in North Africa. West Africa is made up of the tropical coastal countries on the west coast of the African continent. South Africa's most important hub is Johannesburg with its international airport; other major airports with direct flights from e.g. Germany are Cape Town and Windhoek.
