Africa - The Adventure Continent

by MikeAtSea - last update: Apr 6, 2008

Sunset over Africa
The best way to describe my passion for this continent - my home continent are the following words by Beryl Markham out of her 1942 book West with the Night:

"Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer's paradise, a hunter's Valhalla, and escapist's Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations, it is the last vestige of a dead world, or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just 'home'. It is all these things but one thing - it is never dull."

This page is an overview of the countries and some of the attractions of the "shining" continent.

For specific informations about the specific countries, its attractions and highlights please visit the seperate pages here on VT.

 Mike, this is a fantastic overview of Africa. Your tips give helpful information about the countries and especially your "Warnings and Danger" tips are probably very useful for all travellers who want to explore Africa. Well done.

 These are absolutely wonderful new pages on Africa Michael. A friend of mine just vacationed in Reunion and I had no idea where it was or that it was so beautiful there. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Canada. Lori
