The blog section, titled “Your Africa Exposition”, carried articles from several contributors in spring 2020. This page summarises their themes in our own words.
Many visitors think first of Victoria Falls near Livingstone, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders”. The article argued that the country has plenty more to offer once you look beyond the famous cascade, including national parks and river activities.
Uganda sits on the equator and enjoys mild weather, with annual average temperatures that stay below roughly 26 degrees Celsius. The year is mostly sunny apart from two rainy seasons, March to May and October to November. The piece used this climate as a starting point for sightseeing suggestions.
Ghana lies on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. The article highlighted attractive scenery, historic landmarks, a rich culture and warm people. For one example of a heritage-focused day trip, read about the Cape Coast tour.
A fourth article gave general reasons to put the continent on a travel list: landscapes, wildlife, culture and history. It opened with a quotation attributed to John Hemingway about seeing magic in Africa.
If you are choosing a first destination, compare weather by month, check visa needs, and read tour descriptions such as the seven-day Kenya safari. The home page links to more ideas.
