The first week of may my wife and I are going to Marrakech. I know this is a
great place and that there are a lot of fascinating things to see. But we
also would like to make a trip into the desert (f.i. Merzouga). However, I
have some simple questions:

What's the real story on cost of lodging in Accra? Rest of Ghana?
I see alot of very high prices for rooms for a 3rd world country

(LATE SUNSETS), THE SOUTH EASTER TENDS TO DISAPPEAR, AND THE LIGHT

Has anyone been to Gambia? Is it easy to find decent hotels? How much
do hotel rooms and meals cost? Are the people generally nice to
foreigners? How is the security situation?
Thanks!

Going to be in CT for 2 weeks in April.  Any ideas on where to go for a
short (2 day) jaunt to see the usual animals (elephants, lions, rhino etc.)
TIA... Lorry

..in March/April.  Will be staying a few days in Cape Town - anyone
having good ideas for good food, good fun, interesting sites etc?
thanks, liv karin
