 reneew10 reneew10 Post Count: 6 Msg: #1 74 days ago, September 17th 2009 | For my graduation gift (next may), my parents are letting me go on a trip anywhere in the world. I have already been to Europe and South America, so I chose Africa. Considering Africa is a huge continent. What countries or areas of Africa should I visit? I plan to be there for 2 weeks, so I want to get a lot out of my trip. Thanks! |  Mell Mell Post Count: 13958 Msg: #2 74 days ago, September 17th 2009 | Hello Reneew |  You could narrow it down to English speaking countries. It would be convenient to be in countries where you can speak easily with people. What about Kenya and Uganda, or Kenya and Tanzania.

Then next is Johannesburg, you can spend a day or two in Johannesburg, though there is nothing much interesting there as it is the capital, so its full if commercial places and markets, but it is a good place for shopping. All the best Sam [Edited: 16:07 - samwalker16 - spelling] JJfromNJ Justin Post Count: 39 Msg: #4 73 days ago, September 18th 2009 | You have to get into rural Africa. Fly into Nairobi or Dar es Salaam and go to the Serengeti, the Ngorogoro Crater, or the Masai Mara. Or fly into Vic Falls or Jo'burg and go the the Okavango Delta (my favorite place in Africa) or Kruger. | reneew10 reneew10 Post Count: 6 Msg: #5 63 days ago, September 28th 2009 | Thanks! |  holamundo Nina+Mark Post Count: 4 Msg: #6 45 days ago, October 16th 2009 | For 2 weeks the best thing to do is a tour through Namibia - great landscapes, a lot of fun and lots of wildlife. | Enjoy your trip, Nina leniii Leni Post Count: 1 Msg: #7 43 days ago, October 18th 2009 | well if i where you i would also start in south africa, | arrive in joŽburg and rent a car with car to durban and from there on the garden route(P.E. Addo Park, Knysna...) to cape town.. give the car back and then with intercap to namibia from there to botswana and maybe zimbabwe and then back to joŽburg to the airport:-) kb02 kb Post Count: 4 Msg: #8 39 days ago, October 22nd 2009 | Hi | My vote is for Cape Town (scenic beauty, fun times) followed by Namibia (beauty and solitude) and Botswana (magical wildlife experience). Leni also has a very good suggestion, but 2 weeks may be too short for the full round trip.

Morocco was fascinating and wonderful for photos, easy to travel around, and safe. But it's not the image of Africa that I have in my mind. Mali is definitely off the beaten path. There's not much there but it's an experience you won't forget. But even after visiting both of these countries, we're still left wanting more of Africa, so maybe go with these other suggestions and travel around the South. |  ThroughMyEyes Sofia Mona Holzer Post Count: 39 Msg: #10 23 days ago, November 6th 2009 | Depends on your interests. | Diving/History - Egypt (Cairo, Luxor, Red Sea) Wildlife/Gorillas - Overland tour through Kenya, Uganda and either Rwanda/DRC Hiking, Wildlife, Island - Tanzania (Climb Kili, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Zanzibar Soccer, wildlife, Diving, Wine - South Africa for world cup and more (If not into soccer/World Cup DO NOT go to South Africa in June to mid July) Wildlife, Vic Falls, Landscape, wildlife - namibia/Botswana(okavanga delta) Zimbabwe/Zambia(Vic Falls) Just some thoughts  Two Canadians Eh Trevor and Kristena vs. The World Post Count: 49 Msg: #11 23 days ago, November 7th 2009 | I would vote for Rwanda!! Amazing natural beauty, super friendly people and such a powerful history (not unlike many places in Africa). It's still "becoming" a tourist destination, so it won't quite be like what you'd get in Kenya or some of the other hotspots in Africa. Or, at least it wasn't when we were there in December 2007! :D |  BSA Birding Safaris Africa Post Count: 2 Msg: #12 6 days ago, November 24th 2009 | Hello Reneew | Visit East Africa The geography of East Africa is often stunning and scenic. Shaped by global plate tectonic forces that have created the Great Rift Valley, East Africa is the site of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, which have the two tallest peaks in Africa. It also includes the world's second largest freshwater lake Lake Victoria, and the world's second deepest lake Lake Tanganyika. You have chosen the best time of the year relative a low season not much of traffic of tourist in the parks <snip> [Edited: 16:00 - liliram - adverts not allowed in the forum] Number of Users: 11 | Number of Posts: 12 | ||||||||||||||||||||
