Kenya safari tip : Seaside area – tens and hundreds of resorts stretch along the white beaches and the green sea and permanently warm to the north and south of Mombassa. Diani Beach is generally considered to be the best beach in the area, but do not expect an experience typical of large seaside resorts – there are not many areas with bars, discos, restaurants, all concentrated within the resort. The city on the coast of Mombassa is quite dangerous and it is best to visit the group. Mount Kenya – Did you climb Kilimanjaro and did you like it? Try the younger brother, Mount Kenya. The landscapes will make you not regret the few hours of cardio. Nairobi – the combination of modern and traditional you will probably like. It is not an impressive city, but it is an experience in itself. You should not miss the Giraffe Center, where you can get closer to the giraffes and, if you give them a little food, you will feel their tongue extremely dry on your fingers.
How to communicate with the locals: If you worry that you will not get along with the locals, you must know that they are all former European colonies. In Tanzania and Kenya, English is the official language. In Madagascar, French is the official language, and in Cape Verde, Portuguese. This does not mean that you cannot understand English with the latter. In the tourist areas you will find speakers of Italian, French and German. Health Risks: There are many legends and myths about this topic. You have to keep in mind that all travelers should have the usual vaccines (as a child), as well as a vaccine against hepatitis A and typhoid. There is a risk of malaria in some areas and prophylactic medication (eg Malarone) is recommended. In Kenya there is also a risk of yellow fever, so you must have a yellow card to prove that you are vaccinated against this malaria.

Africa is a fascinating location if you are looking for raw wildlife exploration. The “big seven” safari destinations in Africa are South Africa (for Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve), Tanzania (for Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro Crater), Kenya (the Masai Mara), Botswana (the Okavango Delta) and Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Australian travellers don’t need tourist visas to visit South Africa, Botswana or Namibia; Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe issue tourist visas on arrival. Make sure you have at least two blank pages in your passport; you can be refused entry if there’s not enough space for an arrival stamp.
