"Africa, a never ending lovestory !" Top 5 Page for this destination Africa by sachara


Africa Travel Guide: 91,980 reviews and 196,202 photos

Morocco was the first country I visited at the African continent in 1975. I discovered another world and was excited. In 1980 Ghana was the first Subsaharan country I visited. And I fell in love with Africa for ever.

In the meantime I returned 37 times and visited 32 countries. In 2004 one of my dreams came true, the possibility to travel for 3 months in this amazing continent and to make my first transshara crossing later in the same year.

In this overview page of Africa I will describe the highlights of the countries I visited, like UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but also those places, which touched me most.

    A fascinating collection of highlights from your many trips to Africa! Great that you went to the westbank of Luxor by bike, despite the heat. I've just read the first thirty tips today, but will be back some other time for the rest.
