fascinating. Also, some of the great music of Africa comes from this area.
If your first priority is seeing animals, do not choose West Africa as much
of the wildlife has been killed as part of ritual voodoo sacrifice.

Southern Africa is a place to see wildlife, as well as places like Victoria
Falls, the dunes of the Namib Desert, the modern city of Cape Town and
to see wildlife in the private game reserves of the area.

But my personal favorite is Eastern Africa. On my first trip, my wife and I
wanted to see the majestic animals of Africa, and East Africa offers a
wide variety of wildlife viewing options in a concentrated geographic area.
This part of Africa includes the options of seeing gorillas in Rwanda and
Uganda, Chimpanzees in those countries as well as the Mahale
Mountains above Lake Tanganyika, witnessing the Great wildebeest
Migration between Kenya and Tanzania and visiting the exotic island of
Zanzibar.

All have something to offer, but since for most people the word “safari”
means wildlife, this book will focus on East Africa and to a lesser but
similar extent Southern Africa including Namibia home to most of the
continent’s endangered Cheetah population and where conservation is
written into their constitution.
