Africa is in the news a lot these days for a lot of nasty things.
Starvation, war, genocide. Africa is in a bad state. But the reality is, Africa can still be a decent place to travel.
We tend to look at the continent holistically, as if the devastation and misery we see on TV and in the paper affects
every country. That’s not true.
Here is a travel primer
for Africa that helps you decide where to go (first choose the part of the continent you want to visit), helps you
figure out what you’ll need in terms of both packing supplies and inoculations, and provides tips on clearing customs
and so on. If you are heading to do a safari, there’s help on the site to do that as well. It is a very handy guide,
expertly written and comprehensive, and has sections worth perhaps printing out to help you figure out your Africa
trip.
