Richard Mullin once famously said that “the only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa, for he has so much to look forward to.” If you want to take time off all the stress, the hustle and bustle from life itself, even run away from the heat hitting the land, here are four amazing places to go on a vacation
Marrakesh, Morocco
If you’re interested in the unique culture and history of North Africa, this is a beautiful place to be. Marrakesh was founded in 1062 by the Almoravids and in the centuries since has gathered a fabulous collection of mosques, palaces, tombs, and museums.
The best way to immerse yourself in the spirit of Marrakesh is to stroll through the original walled city, known as a medina.
Cape Town, South Africa
For a cultural break at the other end of the continent, head to Cape Town. It has frequently been voted as one of the world’s most beautiful cities, it’s flanked by the ocean on two sides and presided over by the iconic silhouette of Table Mountain.
Just know there is something for everyone in the Mother City. Ranging from Art galleries, museums, and concert venues cater to the culture vultures, while the world-class restaurant scene draws inspiration from South Africa’s bountiful produce and the wines of the surrounding Cape Winelands.
Nosy Be, Madagascar

And From September to December every year, it is also possible to swim alongside whale sharks on a snorkeling tour with Les Baleines Rand’eau But if you don’t want to do that, you can stay On the land, you can come face to face with some of Madagascar’s charismatic lemur species in Lokobe National Park.
Maldives, South Asia
I know I’ve been talking about African places to visit but how do you talk of a vacation without mentioning a trip to the Maldives. The Maldives are full of dreamy, relatively untouched islands, and one of the joys of vacationing here is venturing beyond your hotel. The Maldives are where people come to experience island life at its most relaxed — and most beautiful. Whether you’re criss-crossing coral reefs in a glass-bottomed boat or dozing off in your private overwater bungalow, the chances of returning home disappointed are slim to none.
