Africa is brimming with fresh travel experiences for 2026, from hidden deserts to luxury safaris and cultural renaissances. Algeria is making efforts to open its cities and southern Sahara to visitors with easier visas, new tours, and hotels. Meanwhile, Angola is unveiling safari camps and a modern international airport, offering wildlife encounters that are more intimate than elsewhere. In East Africa, Tanzania’s Arusha will welcome the Jane Goodall Centre—a museum with six interactive exhibit areas—and forest-focused safari lodges, while Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago combines barefoot-luxury stays with marine adventures. Northern Namibia, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe feature new lodges and immersive safaris, elevating adventure tourism. Also, Morocco’s Fès celebrates restored heritage sites, and Nairobi’s Ngara district emerges as a creative urban hotspot. Across Africa, 2026 promises bold explorations, cultural enrichment, and unrivaled natural beauty.
