Here are some general highlights from my trip to South Africa.
South Africa is definitely a good place for a first time trip to Africa. It has the wildlife and culture of Africa along with modern infrastructure and convienences. |
|  | South Africa has all of the exotic animals that draw many of us to Africa. Along with a few, like Penguins, that you wouldn't expect |
South Africa also has modern cities steeped with a mixture of African and European influences.
All said if visit SA, it is not a place you will soon forget. It has wonderful wildlife and ancient culture but also more than its fair share of modern problems from AIDS to mind numbing poverty and social inequality. | | |

I've always wanted to visit Africa, and it looks lik SA would be a good introduction to the Dark Continent. | matcrazy1 Sun Oct 16, 2005 22:19 UTC
Very useful suggestions and advices for my future trip :-). The yam? What an intriguing word! What is that? | JetlagCity Sat Jan 29, 2005 00:53 UTC
Super shot of the school children! South Africa sounds like a great trip - except for the 18 hour flight, yikes (not that that would stop me)! |
