🧭 Africa Travel Guide: Six-Country Highlights & Safety
🗺️ Six Countries at a Glance
Our Africa plan covers Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, South Africa, Ghana and Réunion — from Sahara dunes and the pyramids to Cape Town's coastline and Réunion's volcanoes.
🩺 Health Prep
Some countries require a yellow fever certificate if you arrive from an endemic area. Use mosquito repellent in tropical zones, drink bottled water, and pack basic medication before you go.
🛡️ Staying Safe
Keep valuables out of sight, use registered taxis or ride-hailing apps at night, and ask your hotel which areas to avoid. In game reserves, always follow the ranger's instructions.
💡 Quick Tips
- Power sockets vary by country — bring a universal adapter.
- Tipping around 10% is customary in restaurants in most of the region.
- The dry season (roughly May–October) is best for wildlife viewing.
⚡ Pro Tips
- One multi-country eSIM beats buying a local SIM at every border.
- Download offline maps — coverage can drop in rural and desert areas.
📋 Summary
Africa rewards the prepared traveler: plan health and safety basics, and the continent's wildlife, history and coastlines will do the rest.
