Travel Forum / Destinations / Africa / May 2006

I am planning a tour of South Africa. I have this urge to extend my trip
to include Madagascar- islands fascinate me- but know just about nothing
about it. Can you former visitors tell me some good reasons why I should
or should not include it in my trip?

Don't even THINK about this unless you have a high speed connection and
95MB to spare.  You also must have the latest quicktime player.  I
think you can download the file by right clicking on the link and
saving it.

What can I take to countreract the side effects of Lariam?

Hey everyone -- was hoping to get some advice from you...my fiancee and
I are looking into booking a 2 week honeymoon in Tanzania in early
October.  Can anyone recommend really mice lodges to stay in Tanzania
(Ngorogoro & Serengetti, specifically) and then nice honeymoom resorts

OK, this one is under 30MB, but the price of that is that I had to
compress it smaller. It is also 12 frames per second, so yes it will
appear jerky, but I think it is worth seeing.

Does anybody happen to know whether an English Barclays debit
card can be used at a Kenyan Barclays ATM to get cash? I seem to
remember that the two Barclays do not quite see eye to eye, but
hope that they still co-operate well enough to be useful.

I will be touring Tanzania and Zanzibar in the fall and wanted to pick
myself up a really nice chess set before I return tot he US. I was
wondering if anyone could tell me whats available worth looking into
and where I might go to get the best quality.

Does anybody happen to know the current non-residents entrance
fees for the Masai Mara, Samburu, and Buffalo Springs nature
reserves?
The fees for the KWS parks are going up in July, by the way.
