Why Should I Travel to Africa?

Why Travel to Africa?

In 2018, When I started telling people about my upcoming trip to travel to Africa, I got a lot of puppy dog looks. You know when you’re talking to a dog and it cocks its head and lifts its ears and gives you that look like “What are you saying?”. I only had one person say to me “You’re crazy”. Most just thought it. Some were intrigued but most just had a preconceived notion that Africa is dangerous and full of diseases.

My passion is wildlife and where else could I find the most magnificent creatures on earth in one place other than Africa? If you’re looking for adventure and a trip of a lifetime, look no further than Africa.

Kenya and Tanzania

My first trip in 2018 was to Kenya and Tanzania. I was amazed at how close we could get to some of the animals from the safari vehicle. The guides really seemed to love their job and sharing their knowledge of Kenya and Tanzania. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Namibia and Botswana

My next trip this summer 2022 will be to Namibia and Botswana. I’m excited to see the oldest desert in the world and hopefully climb to the top of Dune 45. I’m also hoping to see the endangered African wild dog. And maybe with a whole lot of luck I’ll see the elusive and endangered Pangolin.

Africa is an amazing continent with beautiful people. I did not find it to be dangerous and certainly not disease infested. Of course, like any foreign country do your research, don’t venture out into unknown areas, get your recommended vaccines, and take your Malaria meds!
