]]>The post The Breathtaking Skeleton Coast of Southern Africa appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>However, a hauntingly beautiful area known as the “Skeleton Coast” waits for intrepid travelers that find themselves in this region in southern Africa.
The Skeleton Coast’s name owes itself to the nearly inhospitable conditions that exist in the coasts of southern Angola and northern Namibia. The Namib Desert is the ecosystem that creates a dry coast with almost zero vegetation. Less than 10 millimeters of rainfall here on average per year.
The results of these conditions are massive sand dunes, the eerie, dried-out hulls of ships that were led aground by the sea’s rough currents and by the blankets of fog that tend to envelop the sea and the coast, and an amazing contrast between the light yellow walls of sand and the deep blues of the Atlantic.
There are plenty of things to do for visitors to the Skeleton Coast, other than simply look at the landscape. The Skeleton Coast National Park, encompassing a third of Namibia’s coastline, allows for wildlife safaris and trips to explore the canyons and mountain ranges that traverse the landscape.
If you’re a surfer, the Skeleton Coast offers some of the best waves in the word to ride. The best time to go is in winter, from May to September, because of the rougher weather and wind in this time of year. Many companies offer 4x4s and surfing excursions to explore the coast on your board.
Run, don’t walk, to check out this unique and beautiful place.

]]>Cameroon is sandwiched between six countries: Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Central African Republic, Chad and Nigeria, and the Gulf of Guinea.
Due to its amazing geographical position, it exhibits all major climates and vegetation of the continent: coast, desert, mountains, rainforest, and savanna. It is also rich in beautiful white sand beaches.
Cameroon is also the perfect place to experience the point of contact of the traditional African tribe culture and the modern culture.
The highest mountain in West Africa is also found here. It is an active volcano called Mount Cameroon with its height of 4095 m.
If you ever get invited to a Cameroonian’s home, bring a gift to the host; it can either be a fruit basket, whiskey or wine.
The all-time favorite fruit, mango originates from this West African country.
The world biggest frog is also inhabited in Cameroon. The Goliath Frog can grow up to 33 cm in length.
