The sand dunes are in fact some of the largest in the world, and the salt and clay pan at the end of the Tsauchab River is where Soussusvlei gets its name from: In Nama and Afrikaans it means “dead-end” and “marsh”. The iconic red dunes of Soussusvlei are formed through a geological process that has been taking place for millions of years. The [...]

When many people think of the best surf destinations in the world, they likely think of locations such as Hawaii, California, Indonesia, Australia, and so on.

This is a shame, as Africa - being the second-largest continent in the world – has some of the best surf spots in the world, some only known to a few enthusiastic and professional surfers. Africa has an amazing variety of surfing locations no matter the level [...]

For starters, Africa is blessed with glorious beaches boasting some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, so close encounters with all manner of rare and exotic marine life await.

And if that wasn't enough, you have the rainforests of central Africa, where close encounters with the infamous [...]

Unique Romantic Ideas For a Proposal in Africa

By Kadealo Editorial Team|2020-05-27T16:00:53+00:00May 15th, 2020|

So you've found the girl (or guy!) of your dreams, and you want to pop the question, but you want it to be as memorable and amazing as it can be.

Perfection, really, especially for a marriage [...]
