Help plan an 13 day vacation in Africa

sleelyfope · 04-08-2011, 04:48 AM

I've got tickets for a family vacation to Africa, and we will be flying from Asia in late July, and have 13 days to check things out. I've been to Jo'burg for one day before, and it wasn't too high on my revisit schedule.

My real question is, where should we go in Africa? Since we'll be flying from Asia, I'd rather not spend a whole day flying, but I am fairly open.

South Africa is great so spend more time there. There are fantastic game parks, including Kruger which is just a four hour drive from Johannesburg.

Capetown is gorgeous and beautiful city so don't miss visiting and driving along the stunning Garden Route, Aldo Elephant Park, and Swaziland.

Botswana or Namibia are worthwhile choices for a safari vacation in Africa, but after being to a number of African countries, including Kenya/Tanzania/Zanzibar, I'd say that South Africa is considerably more affordable than going on safari in Kenya, or Tanzania.

South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Morocco

These are the countries I would recommend and they are all safe and have abundant wildlife except Morocco.
