Republic of the Congo

Agostinho-Neto International Airport (FCPP/PNR)

🇨🇬

Confusingly named the Republic of the Congo, north of its neighbour, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is split by the Congo River, lays awkwardly in the middle of Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has a shape that leads to the Atlantic Ocean. It came about after the its independence from their coloniser, Belgium. However, contrary to many instances where borders were drawn from conflicts, this border was drawn as a result of colonial influence, where the Democratic Republic of the Congo was a French colony.

Germany

Munich Airport (EDDM/MUC)

Gabon

Léon-Mba International Airport (FOOL/LBV)

🇬🇦

Gabon is a country that we still continue to learn to this day. With 80-85% of the country being rainforests, and approximately 11% of it being nature reserves, it provides plenty of learning opportunities for those looking to learn about the nature. Not to mention, there are plenty of dolomite and limestone caves which are still being explored to this day. In addition, being the home to over 80% of the gorilla population in Africa, Gabon is really the best place to go, if you’re a nature conservationist or working in similar areas.

Burundi

Bujumbura International Airport Airport (HBBA/BJM)

🇧🇮

Burundi is one of the few countries on the African continent where its borders aren’t determined by colonial rulers. However, the presence of German was significant until after its defeat in the first World War. Since then, the country has been ravaged by corruption, domestic violence and uprisings. Nonetheless, the country continues to earn most of its income through export of crops such as maize, coffee and bananas, while it also exports plenty of rare earth minerals such as nickel, cobalt, uranium and platinum.

Jamaica

Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP/KIN)

🇯🇲

Jamaica, home to some of the fastest people in the world, the origins of the Rastafarian Movement, as well as some of the most beautiful beaches and golf courses in the region. Not to mention, it’s well known Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, which I personally have an affection for its mild flavour as well as the lack of bitterness.

Rwanda in recent times has been known to be a very progressive country. Being in the top 5 most developed countries since 2000, Rwanda has looked out to Singapore as its country to become. As a country which acts as a tax haven, as well as improving the general quality of life in Rwanda, they are a country to look out for in the coming years as their economy looks to expand in various sectors.

However, also well known in Uganda is the home to the endangered Mountain Gorilla where they have the highest population. Uganda is also well known for Lake Bunyonyi, where its the home to plenty of bird species native to Uganda. If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, Uganda has to be on top of the list.

Kyrgyzstan

Manas International Airport (UCFM/FRU)

🇰🇬

Being in Western Asia, Kyrgyzstan is really where East meets West. And its influences show, where its culture has taken cues from Mongolia and China, as well as Uzbekistan and Russia. It’s a country of around 2,000 lakes as well, so if you’re looking for a weekend by the lake and fishing just for fun, it’ll be a nice quiet country for anybody to go to.

Equatorial Guinea

Bata Airport (FGBT/BSG)

🇬🇶

Equatorial Guinea is perhaps one of the smallest countries on the African continent, consisting of the mainland, as well as 5 inhabited islands off the Cameroonian coastline. Equatorial Guinea was previously ravaged by large scale destruction of the institutions of the countries by their previous president, before being ousted by his own nephew in a coup. Since then, they have been on a slow but steady economic growth after the discovery of a large oil reserve off the coast of the country.

São Tomé and Príncipe

São Tomé International Airport (FPST/TMS)

🇸🇹

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island nation to the west of the Equatorial Guinea coast, and consists of two main rocky islands. Having had many Portuguese influences in its history, it was utilised by colonisers as an island to grow cash crops such as coffee and cocoa due to its fertile soil as a result of being near a volcano. Since then, it has been a holiday destination for many Portuguese and Europeans, who are also some of the key trade partners, making up the majority of both its import and export trade.

United States of America

Long Beach Airport (KLGB/LGB)

🇺🇸

When discussing the US, there really isn’t a place to start. In all honesty, it’s an interesting place to be in, geographically and demographically. Given the large nature of the US, the number of attractions is just too big to list out, and the best way to really soak in what the US has to offer is really to go there and find out yourself. Personally, I wouldn’t mind going back and visiting the US, potentially even being a place that I would do to further my studies.

Haiti

Toussaint Louverture International Airport (MTPP/PAP)

🇭🇹

Putting aside the negative connotations Haiti has come to be known in recent times, the country is geographically and culturally enriched by its influences of the past and of the present. While earthquake shakes the surface of Haiti, millions of years has brought with it some of the best mountains, as well as mountains in the Caribbean. Not exactly something you’d think of. Not to mention, the influence of the Spanish, Portuguese as well as the native Taino and African ethnic groups bring with it plenty of exotic culture that has been able to amalgamate through the years.

Cameroon

Douala International Airport (FKKD/DLA)

🇨🇲

Cameroon lays on the western coast of the Central African region. Given that it extends from the coast to the central region of the continent, you’ll find that there are plenty of different biomes, from thick forests and jungles through to deserts. Not to mention, the government has allocated plenty of land as protected land, so if you’re looking for protected species of flora and fauna, it’s hardly a bad place to go to.

Nigeria

Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy, and being the seventh most populous country in the world, it’s no wonder Nigeria has been able to sustain a large economy. Not only that, but Nigeria has a very diverse economy, ranging from agricultural to petroleum industries.

Peru is thought to be the home to the oldest known site where humans once occupied.

Benin, a rather odd looking country, is a narrow country that extends north for about 670 kilometers. It borders Nigeria and Niger to the east, and Burkina Faso and Togo to the west. The population is perhaps one of the most diverse on the continent, with no less than 8 distinct ethnic groups living in the country.
