Travelling Choices in Africa

When a good portion people picture Africa, they possess a predetermined notion that there are tribes everywhere and the whole entire continent is overwhelmed with jungle creatures. While that may’ve been the reality several centuries ago, but presently, many parts of Africa feel no different than Europe. You just need to know where to go. In fact, Africa is actually a fantastic spot to travel to. It has beaches, high-value resorts, spectacular cuisine, and the people in Africa just cannot be beat. So do not scratch Africa off your vacation wishes just yet.

Taking a vacation in Africa is actually a quite logical option for people residing in the Northern Hemisphere since Africa’s annual seasons are opposite to theirs. That means that when its 30 degrees in your yard and you truly desire to take a trip to somewhere warmer, all you need to do is take a trip to Africa where itll be 70 degrees or more. And obviously the same thing will go on during American summer times. You don’t ever have to be worried about discovering a place that’s just the right climate because the only thing you need to do is travel across the Equator.

From a luxurious aspect, African resorts and hotels are truly rather accommodating and may be just as high-class as resorts in other places. The scenery’s in Africa are perfectly stunning, and you may find many beach-side hotels there. Most of the people that you come across will most likely be very cordial and inviting, and the staffers at the resorts you stay at are going to be equally as accommodating. The food is wonderful; the shopping is great; the cities are growing; need more be said? So throw those prehistoric perspectives of Africa in the dumpster and say hi to a contemporary idea. The African continent could truly be the best vacation destination for you.

It was November 4, 2008, and we were on a two night layover in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania in East Africa. We had just concluded our 2nd safari in two years to East Africa, with five nights in the huge Selous Game Reserve, and two weeks with our good friend and superb guide, Baraza Salaho of Bushbuck Safaris of Arusha. It was 7:30 AM, hours before the first polls were scheduled to open in the United States. We had shot over 1000 photographs once again, and I had shot seven hours of Hi Def video from Selous clear up to the Masai River in the North. We sensed that Barack Obama would be our next President, and we wanted to guage the reaction of typical Africans on the street. So with trusty SONY on my shoulder, we took to the street corner in front of the New Africa Hotel to learn the reaction of Africans to the possible election of the first African American President of the United States.
