great African reads
There is no shortage of literary gems coming from the Dark Continent - biographies, novels, short stories, historical accounts, anthologies. Picking just 6 titles is near impossible...great African films
Of course the lovely Ms Streep features as the cover girl of this particular list - do you blame me?Whilst there are many great foreign language films made in Africa (The Wind from Mali amongst them) - this list is rather Anglicised and post-1980 biased...
best spots to eat a stringy mango
Yes - a bit of an oddity this one! The idea is pinched from the crazy guys on Lonely Planet's Blue Lists, but with a local spin. Don't forget to wipe your chin...best family friendly safari
The past 10 years or so has seen a definite shift towards folks choosing to travel with the kids - something I personally think is a good thing. Kids (especially awkward teenagery ones) seem to discover their mojo in the wilds. And family members usually end up discovering each other - which is all pretty cool...best loos-with-a-view
Considering it's a place well-frequented by most safari-goers, there are a helluva lot of pretty dully-situated WC's out there in the plethora of safari camps in Africa today. Luckily there are also some simply superb spots to sit... (I said sit)current favorites
And here they are - our current selection of our favorite wild places of all those many awesome places on the African safari circuit...But shhhh, some of these are still well-kept secrets so please don't go telling everyone!
