The principal tourist destinations in Africa can be divided into three categories:
- East and Central Africa: Kenya and Tanzania; Malawi and Uganda.
- Southern Africa: Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
- Indian Ocean: Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, The Seychelles, Zanzibar.
Although not true safari destinations as such, these destinations offer stunning, sparkling turquoise waters and the powdery white sand beaches that can be found nowhere else. They are the perfect ending for your safari, or as a destination in their own right.
Then you need to decide exactly what it is that you yourself want to do during your visit. And there are just so many factors to consider here. Firstly you need to consider exactly why you want to visit Africa – is it its wildlife, culture, history, landscapes, activities, beaches, or a combination of some of these? The variety of experiences to be found on the vast African continent is immense. If this is your first such visit then you certainly need to seek specialist advice. However you will save yourself (and them) an awful lot of time if you can begin by asking yourself the following series of questions:
How long do I have to spend in Africa?
Obviously budgetary considerations will influence the answer to this question to a large extent. Outside these if you only have the time for a short trip then you should focus on a destination that provides a lot to do within a fairly small area (for example Zambia’s Livingstone, providing you with the opportunity to visit the Victoria Falls, do some game viewing, enjoy river-based activities and so on), or one with good transportation links – long road transfers simply eat up time. A longer time can either enable you to choose to combine a number of different destinations (for example game reserves of widely different character) or simply to enjoy your trip at a more leisurely pace.
