Namibia

It’s been a while since you’ve been out on some adventure and now your feet are probably rarin’ to go again. This time why not route on the southern part of the hemisphere, Namibia for instance. Namibia is situated in the African continent specifically on the southwest coast. In terms of size, Namibia is a large country but with only a handful of inhabitants. You’ll be surprised by the diverse culture of this country since 87% of the population is black and about 6% are white. This is so because the country was originally a part of Germany until it was captured by South Africa during WW I.

Serengeti

"Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai word, which means "endless plains.” The name best befits this vast region in East Africa. Most of its land area covers the northern part of Tanzania while small part of Serengeti covers the southern part of Kenya.

Zebras, blue wildebeests, buffalos, lions and antelopes—you’ll see them everywhere in Serengetti. This region may be one of the poorest in the world (by the materialists’ standards), but it definitely isn’t when it comes to tribal culture, hospitality, and most especially, when it comes to its great variety of animals.

Sudan

When planning a holiday or thinking of all the famous Arab countries around the world, Sudan probably doesn’t spring to mind! You are probably thinking who in their Right mind would go to Sudan! And you’re probably right; Sudan doesn’t feature in glossy magazines or holiday brouchers, instead it is a regular among the BBC World News items on war and famine in Africa. For that reason, tourists tend to give Sudan a miss. but (im not just saying this because I’m half Sudanese) Sudan has more to offer than you think…
