Selwyn Davidowitz ID1854 - When planning a self-drive adventure through Africa, plan thoroughly and book your vehicle far in advance. Most car hire companies don't allow their vehicles into some African countries, and car insurance excesses vary depending on the countries you are travelling through. Reservation Africa Reservation Africa ID1576 - In Egypt, dining out can range from stand-up sandwich bars to luxurious five-course meals. You can find small, inexpensive establishments that serve good Egyptian food for only a few pounds. If you are in a hurry, try the local snack bars. The cubbyholes off the street (which probably have running water) are generally safe. The larger cities even have Western-style fast-food chains like McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken, but they are relatively expensive. In cities, both food and water are safe, although the change in your diet may produce short-term gastrointestinal upsets. Visit Bargain Tours in Egypt for more information about Egypt. Ibrahim ID2146 - Take the early morning drives on safari even thought that often means getting up while it's still dark. You'll be very glad you did - because your wildlife sightings will improve. The animals are a lot more active in the early morning and late evening, because it is cooler and the nocturnal species are either getting up or going to bed, so your chances of spotting them are generally much better. African Safari Journals African Safari Journals ID1787 - In Tanzania, Mt. Kilimanjaro climbing attracts many people. Kilimanjaro trekking through Marangu route should be booked 3 months in advance. This is because accommodation on the Mountain is provided in huts, and in high season (from July to December), all huts become full. For other routes like the Rongai route, Machame route, and the Shira route you can book even one month before and last-minute booking is even available. To help prevent mountain/altitude sickness: drink a lot of water, walk or trek slowly, and plan one acclimatization day before your activities. For more information visit Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
