Travel and selfies go hand in hand. Most travellers whip out their smartphones to click a selfie at a landmark to commemorate their trip. But have you ever wondered which destination boasts the most popular selfie spot?

Well, international car comparison site EnjoyTravel released 'The 25 Most Popular Selfie Spots in the World' – and Africa's very own Kruger National Park made the top 10 list (the only African destination at the top tier).

It used data from Instagram and TikTok to come up with the results.

Top Selfie Spots

Claiming the top spot was Disneyland in Paris, France - with a combined total of 6 128 408 478 (six billion) on both platforms. With its colourful experiences, state-of-the-art accommodation and Disney characters at every corner, there's plenty of selfie opportunities for travellers.

Disney World in Florida, US came in second position with a total of 6 014 657 716 hashtags, with Burj Khalifa in Dubai, UAE in third position with 1 505 198 505 hashtags.

Kruger National Park (10th)

Kruger National Park, a popular safari attraction in South Africa, amassed 96 734 291 (96 million) hashtags.

"The Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s largest game reserves," EnjoyTravel stated on its site.

"As you can imagine, safari holidays here are very popular, and so too is taking selfies. One of the best places in Kruger National Park to get a selfie with sleeping lions in the background is Kruger Tablets. For an elephant selfie, head to the N'watindlopfu River crossing," it recommended.

Rounding up the top 10 is the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, Machu Picchu, London Bridge and St Basil’s Cathedral in Russia.

They only released the Top25 and Egypt's Pyramids of Giza are the only other African attraction on there at 21. The country kinda has to be a major tourist destination for its locations to garner millions of selfies.

But here's Aso rock just for fun

2.it is belongs to a minority tribe Gwari(unlike Lagos that belongs to Yoruba)
3.it is in the centre
