Chinese visitors answer Africa's call of the wild

China Daily  

Tourists take a hot air balloon ride over Serengeti National Park in Tanzania in July. Tourism experts are optimistic about the growth of China's outbound travel to Africa, fueled by deepening cooperation and Chinese travelers' emerging passion for exotic destinations. Qunar, a travel portal, said that flight bookings from China to Africa for the period increased 1.2-fold year-on-year, with the top destinations being Egypt, Tanzania, Kenya, Morocco and South Africa. Qunar said the diversity of natural landscapes and the variety of exotic cultural and natural attractions, such as the majestic pyramids in Egypt and the great migration of animals, are enticing more Chinese tourists. Sui said the group traveled during a relatively slack tourism period in Tanzania, and the prices of flights and accommodation may have doubled for the great migration of animals, which started in June.
