There many travel experiences in Africa. I have my personal approach for touring Africa most especially Ghana my home.
I think tour is not only about traveling to see beautiful places within a day and moving the next day. My few friends that visit Africa, from abroad, I mean visited me had a different feel. 1. they know me and I relate them to the people and the environment. 2 we travel and share the greatest part of the cultural differences.
3 they get involve in the traditional dances, in the plays, have fun with the people.
4. go to the club and interact with a higher level, not only in the village,
to the beach and to the football field to watch the local children play.....
to the shrine and see the traditional worship system...
5. the adventure, fishing and climbing .............
It is an approach that make you feel at home and enjoying without the fear of being a stranger.
Any time to wanna travel to any native African place get a contact, that will make you feel at home. enjoying Africa is feeling at home and openly interact with the people.
Have a nice Holiday!

Ive dreamt of going to Africa. Some of my friend had visited the place already and saw their photos and I must say it is indeed majestic. I just hope its cheap to travel given that I am in an Asian Country.

I think there is a direct flight from Dubai...there lot of people from the Asian countries here in Africa. I think the Asian business men have found a a marketing hub here in Africa so they are exploring it massively. in my town alone, I have about 6 restaurants belonging to Asians companies. Most Asians that come here easily get jobs to do cos the are companies from their native countries. check from 'Amadeus'yu will get much info on Travelling to Africa anytime you wanna come.
Blessed!!!

i want very much to visit South Africa - the birthplace of the Zulu people
they just started to unite the other tribes and to build the first African Empire, when they were invaded
i have seen pictures of their original architecture and it's just amazing - it's based on principles much different than the architecture in other places on Earth

I have been to Africa a few times. Last year I took my toddler son to Cape Town and the Garden Route. It was lovely to see the Cape Mountain and Boulder's Beach where the penguins can be seen. I really enjoyed going to Scratch Patch. I liked visiting the poor African township. We went on a two and a half hour safari and that was very educational.
During my twenties I went on a trip to Kenya. I stayed at Tiwi Beach, south of Mombasa. I took a train to Nairobi and that was an adventure. I went on a safari to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakaru. It was fascinating to meet the Masai Mara tribe. Their dancing is amazing and they are charming folk to mix with.
In my early thirties I visited the Seychelles and it is a tropical delight. It has some gorgeous looking palm fringed beaches. It is a very romantic destination and I recommend it for any couple that are planning their honeymoon.
Africa is an excellent continent to explore. It sounds lovely in Ghana.

Hello! Yes, I have dreamt of traveling to Africa. I love the nature that is there because it is so different from my country's nature. I would love the weather, because it's hot there! I would like to go to safari to see animals - big animals that you can see just on TV or in zoo but to see them in the nature, it would be amazing! There are so many reason's why I would like to go there - I hope one time in my life I will go there! Happy mylotting!

Yes..I have dreamt of travelling to Africa and yup..I have been there last year.. I was in Pretoria for 3 months and during that time I visited Capetown, Safaris and the Kruger National Park...
The reason i wanted to visit South Africa is because of its unspoiled nature and high awareness among the people..though it's a little expensive in some places but I really like it..interacting with different people from different backgrounds
Just a sad 'story' to share with you on my other fellow Malaysian friends, whenever I mentioned south africa or africa, they will have this 'under a coconut shell' perception..africas are dry places, no water and Africans living in poverty and without food...yup some regions in Africa are like that, but they are always in a negative perception and never look at a wider perception..for instance, when I told them that i'm going to South AFrica for a 3 months attachment/internship, they would be asking..why Africa? instead of the 'woahhh' reaction.
And they know SH*T about the climate..South Africa is basically a 4 season country and they thought that the whole African continents are countries like deserts with dry grasses..sad case eh

Yes, definitely. I only see Africa on tv, and it seems like a very interesting place, the beauty of nature and the people looks kind.
