adventure and accomodation in Africa

African adventures

Accommodation in Africa would serve little purposes if one did not do fun activities in your time during the visit to Africa.

Below I am briefly offering advice of which adventure activities are on offer in which countries and the source of this information is indicated by a reputable source namely the National Geographic.

A large number of outdoor activities are dirty and rough and the faint hearted would do better to stay at home.

As always one can ease into Africa by first arriving in Cape Town South Africa and then venturing to the more wild side of things after you have settled in and had comfortable accommodation in Cape Town.

Cape Town has a few venues of its own for adventure sports and outdoor activities.

Botanical Trekking: South Africa and its number of Botanical gardens and other venues of which information can usually found at the botanical gardens one of which is relatively famous namely Kirstenbosh in Cape Town.

South Africa is interesting in that a very large number of plant species occur here that do not occur anywhere else in the entire World and in addition in a smaller area than anywhere else I the entire World.

To conclude:

Adventure activities are abundant in Africa as are the risks sometimes and larger number of these activities take place in Malaria and other tropical disease area and you are well advised to consult the WHO and other bodies like travel clinics to see what precautions you would be advised to take in preparation and in prevention of any fatalities or aliments.

There are also approximately 19 sites where either Peace parks sometimes known as Transfrontier parks are already in existence or under development and this very interesting initiative was started by Open Africa Initiative’s Noel DeVilliers with purpose of uniting Africa people to the ends of development of alternative economies, conservation and eco tourism.

So start planning your visit today and commence perhaps with a stay at the Village Lodge in De Waterkant Cape Town Accommodation or venue a bit on the wild side and try Nguni Lodge situated in a Malaria free area near the Greater Addo Elephant National Park near Port Elizabeth in Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Area.

Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg or Cape Town have abundant tourist information facilities and good accommodation.
