Overview

The south is getting more popular since it is Political Correct to visit South Africa . This marvellous country definitely deserves a visit and travel there is easy as numerous airlines offer flights on a regular basis. A trip there can be combined with Botswana , Zimbabwe and Namibia which are equally fascinating destinations.

West Africa sees relatively few tourists which in some cases may be due to political turmoil. Ghana has good beaches and nice forts. Togo is a gem under the West African countries and so is Benin and the Ivory Coast . Nigeria has many sights but travelling there can be time- and nerveracking.

Central Africa too, has had its fair share of trouble in recent years, which is the reason why many travellers deleted countries such as the Central African Republic , Rwanda and Congo Kinshasa (formerly known as Zaire) from their to do and to see list.

Africa details

Sights
For many people travelling in Africa, health and vaccination are an important topic. Therefore we have tried to collect some important facts for you in our health section.


Getting There
By Air Generally speaking it is easiest to come to Africa via Europe. As a rule the country that was the former Colonial Power now has the cheapest flights. If you are going to Cote d'Ivoire, try France for example. Paris has regular cheap flights to almost all ex-colonies.
This means that London and Paris provide the best basis for entering Africa. In Europe, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and to a lesser degree Rome also offer good possibilities. Cheap tickets to countries like the Gambia are easily found.
When coming from Asia, East and South Africa is most easy to access. Delhi is some sort of a hub for travel to East Africa.
For people in the US, it is probably worth looking for bargains via London or Paris. Otherwise the best place to start looking is arguably New York.
By boat Although it sure is a Romantic idea, traveling by boat is often more expensive and always more time consuming than flying. It is however a good option when you want to go to Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt from southern Europe, or in the case of Egypt from Jordan. To Egypt and East Africa from India or Singapore is possible, but it takes a long time and is either quiet expensive or not comfortable at all.
By land Coming to Africa by land from Asia is only possible at the border crossing between Israel and Egypt. The border is open.


History
With some exceptions, mainly the Muslim lands of North-Africa, the history of Africa before colonization is not known in great detail. This does not mean that there was no history. Great empires have existed in all parts of Africa, but the colonialist did little to keep the memory of their histories alive.
The arrival of the White Man in Africa has caused a lot of misery. Many Africans left their continent in the shackles of Slavery. Colonies were set up in almost all parts of Africa. The struggle for independance was hard and in some countries full of blood.
The present day Africa shows us a map where borders were drawn in Europe, according to the whims of big companies. This leaves Africa with a lot of problems. African leaders have to deal with ethnic and tribal problems almost in every country.
Although the first free leaders of African soon developed into classical dictators, with big Swiss Bank accounts, recent years have shown a trend towards more democratization. We keep are hopes up.
