Hi everyone
Since you live in South Africa near Kruger National Park, you already know that your country offers an excellent introduction to travel in Africa. Entry is easy (no visa is required of U.S. and UK citizens, for example); it's easy to get around the country (you can even rent a car if you want to). And there's lots to see and experience, from East to West, North to South. There's an additional benefit. Many South African tour companies offer trips to other destinations in Africa at reasonable prices. One popular route is from Cape Town to Namibia to Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Those companies also originate trips in other countries, such as from Kenya to Uganda; or from Kenya to Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. There are lots of choices; and lots of options. Simply go online to check.
Intrepid travelers also can do it on their own. The routes in southern Africa and East Africa are well-traveled.
I like what Africa has to offer; and return often. I leave Friday for Ghana, Sao Tome and Principe, Cameroon and Gabon.
The first African country I visited was Tunisia back in 1998 or 99. It was close to the UK and cheap! And it was a foreign place with everything that 'foreign' brings to mind. I enjoyed the souks, the different architecture and the people.
However, of the ten or so I've been through, Egypt would be exciting for the history and the artifacts but my favourite so far is Tanzania - the people, the scenery (6000m up on Kilimanjaro is something to remember) and above all the wildlife in the Serengetti.
