From the impact of social media on the willingness to explore beyond the familiar safari destinations to nostalgia travel driving the growth of parent-teen safaris, these are some of the key trends that specialist operator Acacia Africa says will shape this year. read post
Read more…Diego Delso Around the size of France and with a population of just under 2½ million, the largely flat-savannah Land of the Tswana is one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations (and parenthetically, diamond producers): big game and only lightly touristed, with a “fewer people, more animals” tourism philosophy. I have fond memories of visiting its reknowned Okavango Delta on safari many years ago, but there are other aspects to the country very much noting as well: read post

Read more…It took us three days to drive from Cape Town along South Africa’s "Garden Route" to Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, but it was well worth the drive. Once it was 27 farms, which have all been returned to the wild, and the reserve now covers 115 square kilometers (44½ sq. miles), owned and operated by two of those original farming families. A fictional British TV series, Wild at Heart, which ran from 2006 to 2012, told about much the same thing. The animals at Kariega were…

Well to be honest my advise is not completely honest. My first visit to Africa was to Kenya and I liked it very much. However during the same visit to Africa I ended up in Rwanda and that changed my life completely. I fell in love with that country and now I have a Tour Operator Agency over there.
So when I say try Rwanda you probably will not believe me. But you can always ask the people who went there and did not became a Rwanda tour operator. And just in case your next question will be "Is it safë?" Yes its safe, already for 15 years and its clean, very clean!
The country is not bigger then Belgium and very beautiful. The mountain gorillas are the biggest touristique attraction, but the country has much more to offer then that.
Let me know if you are interested in getting more info.
One advice: be carefull, Africa can hook you up!
Your question is a bit the same as asking: I am going to The US and what should I do there? Africa is HUGE, so one thing you have to ask yourself: what is the aim of me traveling there? Once you know that, it will be easier to make a choice. If you go for wildlife I personally find South Africa a bit too tame, although it is a destination with lots of variety.
Good luck.
