Africa, the only continent in the world that has been given all the negative tags and people think nothing good about.

1. Swimming With Whale Sharks

In the months of October to January, you can swim with whale sharks in the Gulf of Tadjourah in Djibouti in the Indian Ocean at the Western end of the Gulf of Aden. This is possible because of the change in ocean currents and high concentration of plankton (small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water) in the area during this season.
