It's not at the top of my list, but I would love to take a safari there some time.

There are some countries in Africa that I'd like to visit. Topping the list would be Morocco, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. I have no desire to go to South Africa.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

I would love to go to Africa! Its somewhere Ive always wanted to go, mainly to see the wildlife, although sadly thats getting rarer and rarer due to so many factors. Seeing rhino and giraffe in the wild would blow my mind!

I hope there will be something in the future that will.

It's too pricey for me to travel through South Africa, let alone the whole continent. If I had to pick two countries to see, I'd say Namibia and Botswana, and furthest afield, Egypt.

I would love to travel to Africa. Going on a safari there to see all the animals and take pictures of them is one of my ideas for my honeymoon.

Wow. I also wanted to take pictures with them.

I would enjoy a trip to Africa. The way the author describes her visits, has me questioning what I have always thought about the area. I have always heard bad things, but they didn't seem to have much trouble in the area. I don't think I have the skill to sail there like our family in the book did, but I would love to visit.

I would absolutely journey to Africa, if given the chance. The one thing I'd do if I suddenly became rich enough to not have to work, is to travel; this world is too big to not explore a lot of it, if able.
I also really love the idea of visiting different cultures and speaking with people of different backgrounds.

There are also bad things, but I think most are misconceptions about them.

I would LOVE to journey to Africa. However, I would prefer to be part of a group that is familiar with the area. I would like to be around animals in their natural environment and that would be the best way how!

The funny thing is that I live in Africa, Nigeria to be precise. And I would advice all of you guys overseas to come a visit anytime, because there are a lot of exciting things to see in Africa.
