I'm interested in travelling to Africa though know very little about the continent as a whole. I'm familiar with destinations such as South Africa, though not so much so northern and central Africa.
What countries are worth visiting and what is there to see? I'm keen on taking a safari or two, though I would like to see as much as I can over the course of a several week trip. Any advice on dangers or required vaccinations is also welcome.
I like some parts of South Africa, too, but I think you should also visit the northern part, especially Morocco because they have exotic, scenic places there. What's really unforgettable is the amazing Majorelle Garden in Marrakech. This garden is now owned by fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Barge.
If you are traveling alone, or with others, I will suggest a safari tour package, you can check with local travel agents to see what type of prices they have. This is by far the easiest way to travel if you are visiting a place for the first time and want to cram in many sites within a certain time frame. :) One day I hope to travel to Capetown & Togo myself.
Tunisia in north Africa is a perfect place to enjoy holiday vacations either alone or with your family as it offers lots of water sports activities, numerous tourist attractions like museums, historical places, monuments etc. and a good place to shop and dine and can also enjoy some nightlife. You can enjoy diving, sailing, wind surfing in Mediterranean sea, can go for trekking in Sahara Desert in southern part of Tunisia and lots of other family activities to enjoy. So, visit Tunisia for perfect Tunisia Holidays.
Africa ideas and info
Tanzania is definitely not to be missed. Home of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. If you are in reasonable health you can walk to the top of this amazing mountain in around 5-6 days, with good, safe lodges all the way up. Tanzania also boasts the Serengeti National Park (the best place in Africa for a safari), and the incredibly beautiful Island of Zanzibar. All of these places have good air links.
Zambia is another great destination, home to the wonderful town of Livingstone, and Victoria Falls.
In South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal (the Zulu Kingdom) is fantastic, and so is The Garden Route (very safe for tourists, but not cheap).
Botswana is also one of the safest and easiest places to travel (well worth combining with a trip to Victoria Falls in Zambia).
Ethiopia is just opening up again, and is very keen to promote tourism.
