Africa

When travelling through South Africa you must visit the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi National park. Less commercial than the Kruger and more a treat when you finally see some wildlife.

Visit the Mukuvusi Woodlands - a beautiful game reserve right near the heart of the city. Wander through the African savannah among fantastic animals - impala, kudu, eland, zebra giraffe to name but a few. Where else in the world can you enjoy such wilderness in a city?

If you get a chance make a sunset river cruise from Kasane. The sight of elephants bathing in the river while the sunset will be one you'll never forget!

Gizah, or Giza or however you want to spell it is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the world. Home of the Great Pyramids of Giza. When I visited, I went in the late afternoon (mostly because we couldn't get directions...no one seemed to know where the pyramids were and how to get to them), but the setting sun was amazing against the pyramids. Taxis are overflowing as are souvenir shops. They're selling exactly what you're looking for. Don't believe me? Just ask them and they'll tell you the same thing.

Some people think Alex doesn't live up to its past. No more pharos, tomb of Alexander, or even the multi-cultured feel the place had up until the 1950s. But, there is enough of the old Alex for the place to be relaxing and charming (especially compared to Cairo). The corniche area from the Fort to the new library is lovely to walk down. The Cecil hotel in the main square still has colonial charm and there are some lovely restaurants and cafes in this area. The Roman catacombs are also worth a visit.

A good place to stay and have a drink is The old Bridge backpakkers.

If you stay in Nairobi and you like to eat meet, ask for the restaurant "Carnivore". Pay once and eat meat as much as you can.

The Famous House Of The Writer K.Kavafis Surely Worths A Visit.

Pays très pauvre, loin des images paradisiaques des hôtels. Il faut se donner la peine de prendre un taxi pour faire toutes les petites villes, et prendre des petites pensions ou petits hôtels. Certes, vous n'aurez pas de grande et très belle plage, mais les gens sont géniaux! Toute l'île est belle.

Extreamly friendly local people, very nice homemade food in the local tavernas,bars and pubs.You can hear Nigerian music almost everywhere. Nice club in the center build underground. Best way to see places is with a local person. Really big market place full of almost everything!You should have a good car to move around as the roads are a bit off and also for the safety on the highway. Aba City Clobal Hotel is quite nice for visiting or even staying in. Halabalaba bar with live music on stage and night club was absolutely the place to be! =)just fell in love with the people!
