Africa is one of the most exciting, different and diverse continents in the world. Beaches, rainforests, mountains, savannas, deserts: it's got them all. Each country has so much to offer, from diving with Great White sharks in South Africa, to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania or trekking with mountain gorillas in Uganda - there is an adventure out there for everyone! However, many countries are still developing and suffer from widespread poverty with little help from their government, which is why volunteering in Africa can really change people's lives.
