This paper seek to focused on the challenges and dangerous journey many African migrants make across the Saharan desert and the dangerous trip they make by boat to island in the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean and Saharan desert to Europe in search of what they think would be a better and easier living conditions. It's a journey that begins with full hope but often end in disastrous way. Many African migrants died on their way to Europe. The migrants have full hopes and aspirations of a better life in Europe a place they knew nothing about. Migration of African to Europe is commonly seen as a movement of desperate young African fleeing from unemployment, political uncertainty, economics recession, conflicts and widespread poverty. The paper finding revealed that young African men and women are highly ambitious by big dreams, higher wishes, fantasies and demand from family and friends to make it in Europe. There are more international migrants today than ever before, so therefore movement is on daily basis now. And the number of migrants is multiplying for the predictable future. Migration can also be seen as one of the effective factors in this period of globalization which helps in the exchange of money and commodities coupled with free flow of ideas and information. This study is purely based on secondary sources of data. The data was obtained from reference books, published reports of World Bank, European Union data, Newspapers and broadcasting media.
