Favorite destination in Africa?

Lisa’s favorite destination in Africa is Morocco. “I loved wandering through the markets and tasting the delicious Moroccan cuisine,” she recalls. “I also really enjoyed the unique activities from the vintage side cars in Marrakesh to hot air ballooning over the Sahara Desert. I highly recommend glamping in the desert and seeing stars at night that only rival the stars on a night game drive on safari.”
