How do you plan a trip to Africa?

Can someone help me plan a trip to Africa?

  • We would like to explore a bit, do a safari, maybe so volunteer work. Does anyone have any advice or experiences?

  • Answer:

    Research, Research and Research. I lived in Africa (East and South Africa) for over 4 years. Beautiful and wonderful experience. Many of the volunteer opps out there you have to pay for - essentially you cant just go to a country/village and just start working. There are formalities, etc. If you have the money to do so and the time - especially the time - You didnt specify how long you trip is going to be - you should give yourself at least a month to do any meaningful and fulfilling work, something that can be started and finished because why leave anyone hanging right?? Safari is a whole different deal - you have to check out deals, decide what you want to see and where - there is so much to see - Your trip is easy going to be a couple of thousand dollars. If you start contachting companies early you can work out great deals, esp now but dont go into it blindly. You will have a terrific experience, I know i did
