Travel Forum / Destinations / Africa / April 2006

I find it rather annoying that US and Canadian versions of the form can be
downloaded for free from the respective websites, yet UK citizens are
expected to ring a premium rate line for up to 3 minutes in order to get
access to the form. This on top of the visa cost.

I am thinking of taking a honeymoon to Tanzania (game park+Zanzibar
combo), but just read the State Dept. website and it does not sound too
safe for Americans to go there (esp. Zanzibar).  Can anyone comment on
this who knows this area better?  Thanks so much, Doug.

We are thinking of traveling to Africa for our honeymoon in July '07. I
have done a little research but have not been able to narrow down the
list of destinations, there is simply too much to choose from... Here's
a little info which should give you an idea as to what we are looking

I am hoping to go for a cultural tour to Egypt and visit the main Ancient
sights. I'm wondering if someone could recommend a Tour company that they
have been with that would do a 1 week tour to Cairo/Giza/Luxor please? There
seems many that do this but they all look similar to me ...

I'm planning to go to Botswana September 2006.
Hope that you may kindly advice on where to go and what places to stay. I'  
primaliry considering Chobe and Okavanga/Moreni. Don't have much time, so  
maybe 2 nights at 3 camps, hence 6 nights total.

Hi,,
With respect to weather and animal observation, any advice on the
"best" time to go, and where to go,,,
thanks,,

my husband and i are planning to go to kenya or tanzania during the
first week of august, then to go for the second one to zanzibar.
we would like to contact a local travel agency to arrange a 7/8 days
safari, plus transport and accommodation in zanzibar.

My daughter is working in Kampala and has August off, so I am going to visit
her for the last three weeks.  My main interests are photography (wildlife
and landscapes).  I want to spend a day looking for gorillas, but other than
that do not have any specific plans.

can anyone tell me if Europeans (Belgians) need Visa or injection for
going to ghana ?
thank you
K

I have to drive from Johannesburg to Tete in Mozambique at the end of
Apri, and obviously I have two choices.
a) Drive through Mozambique. This is long and tedious.
b) Drive thhrough Zimbabwe, and exit at Nyamapanda.
