Africa is a huge continent with several countries, each having unique things to offer. But all destinations can be conquered with efficient and proper planning. If this is your first travel to the continent, you may want to read About Africa to cover the basics.
Some people already have a set destination in mind while others are still looking for ideas. If you're traveling with kids or elders, you can easily narrow down your options to destinations that are accessible to them. For example, you may want to reconsider your bucket-list to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro if you have a toddler in tow.
After you have selected possible destinations that everyone votes for, you can narrow this down by interest:
If your date is not flexible, book your flights and tours way in advance to score lower prices or maybe even get deals. If you want to witness a specific event, for example, The great wildebeest migration in Tanzania, you should book 1 year in advance because this is peak season.
Africa, being a less-traveled place with limited infrastructure don't come by cheap. The tour destinations outside the city require the assistance of a seasoned Tour Operator hence, swelling up the overall price but you can easily do a city tour by yourself using local transportation
