Welcome to Africa! There are 54 countries in this really wild continent which is the oldest in the world and the place where human race began. In Moroco we will sway to the music of the snake charmer as they hypnotize snakes and make them dance or maybe will be cool cats in Egypt the ancient Egyptians thought of cats as mythical and sacred creatures. The ancient word for cat was pronounced as MEOW. We can check out the beach at the bones of low Angle National Park and we might see hippos body surfing in the waves then we’ll dive under water for the undersea walk in Mauritius and walk among the coral reefs. We’ll need our biggest muscles to compete with Africa’s strongest creature –the Dung Beetle which pull 1141 times its own body weight that’s the same s you pulling six double-decker buses, ouch!
