Place Crystal Wants To Travel #2: Africa

Okay, could I be more vague than listing an entire continent? Well, I guess I could list a hemisphere, but whatever.

I was reading the travel blog at thirteenmonths.com a few months ago (awesome site, beautiful photography!) and read about their time in Africa, and it was amazing!

Some of what I want to do? I want to get lost in the streets of Fes and wander around Marrakesh in Morocco. I want to figure out the mystery of the pyramids in Egypt. Track some gorillas in Uganda, and go on safari (the Swahili word for journey) in the Ngorogoro Crater and Greater Sahara in Tanzania. Throw in South Africa and Madigascar somewhere in there, and you’ve got an idea. Oh, and I want to go to the Dem. Rep. of Congo, just because “I went to the Congo” just sounds so freaking cool.

For another awesome tale of a trip through Africa, check out Kinga’s Africa trip at kingafreespirit.com Her words are poetic, her photos beautiful. Sadly, she got cerebrial malaria during her trip and died last month. Heartbreaking.

Any other suggestions for what to see or do in Africa?
