Planning an African safari adventure does require some preparation, however. Here are some things that you should do to ensure that you’re ready before going.

Get Vaccinations

The tropical, foreign diseases which are present in most African countries are something that people should be vaccinated for before traveling. Check with your doctor and country recommendations, but you’ll want to at least get vaccinated against diseases like yellow fever. 

Research Guides

Safaris are always done with a guide or guide group in Africa, and before you spend thousands on making this journey, do your best to ensure that the people you’ll be going with know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about. Check reviews online thoroughly to go with the peace of mind that you’ll be led by experts.

Apply for Visas

Many popular safari destination countries require entry visas for tourists who will be traveling there. Check visa requirements for citizens of your country long before going, and be sure to apply for whatever sort of documentation you’ll need far in advance.

It can seem daunting to travel to the Sahara, but there are several options for travelers that want to discover this unique place. Here are three great options for discovering this natural treasure.

Camel Excursion

One option for getting to know the Sahara is to visit the area on the back of a camel. These beasts, native to the region and used by its natives for centuries as pack animals, can transport you around the region’s sand dunes and provide a truly unique experience.

4WD Tour

Another great way to see the Sahara is in a 4WD vehicle, which is able to drive on the sand. By zipping around the desert in one of these, you’re likely to cover more ground than you would on foot or on the back of an animal. Plus, the speed makes it a truly exhilarating experience.

Desert Trek

Looking for a more off-the-beaten-path option for traveling through the Sahara? Try a desert trek! You’ll walk on foot through the desert, gaining a new appreciation for the immensity and vast expanse of this inhospitable land. It’s a truly unforgettable option.

So, why is Djenne so interesting?

Many consider Djenne to be the oldest still-inhabited city in the entire African continent. It’s been around since around the 3rd century BC. The town was established in the floodlands of the Niger and Bani Rivers, giving it the ability to sustain agriculture despite the dry climate.

Djenne is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as a place of important value for the study of archeology due to its unique Sudanese Adobe architecture which characterizes nearly all of the town’s buildings.

The Djenne Mosque is the most important and well-known building in the town of 30,000, as it is an important gathering place for the town’s residents and a beautiful example of the city’s quintessential architecture.

Built with sun-dried mud bricks, the current mosque was built in 1907 and has survived for over a century.

The mosque isn’t the only building in Djenne that was built with this architectural technique, however. Nearly all of the homes and businesses of the city also feature this unique construction method.

Djenne is a must-see if you love architecture and want to check out an off-the-beaten path destination.
