Hi everybody. After traveling to every other continent, excluding Antarctica, I am thinking seriously about going to Africa next year. February or maybe April. My question is where is a good place to get my African feet wet without being thrown into the deep end?
I am looking for an English speaking country and looking to do it reasonably inexpensively. For a 2-3 week trip.
I am thinking mostly about Ghana, Zambia, Botswana, or possibly South Africa. But willing to consider other candidates.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to go to an African country that will blow your mind...the only African country that was not subjected to colonial rule...from castles and churches cut out of solid rock in the North to the most exotic tribes in the South...history from first man..the Queen of Sheba...Emperors and the Ark of the Tabernacle.
My first choice would be Ethiopia every time.
Don't just believe me...Just do it.
