That East Africa is a great tourist destination has never been in doubt, and the recent World Travel Awards ceremony at the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort in Morocco on December 12 proved just that.
Kenya was chosen over South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Uganda as the world’s leading safari destination by over 300 industry leaders from around the globe, while Tanzania’s island of Zanzibar was voted the world’s leading dive destination.
