Africa is an amazing tropical paradise allowing travelers a natural escape from the regular urban and modern-cultural tourism offered mostly by the West or the Eastern spiritual sophistication. In Africa, mother nature is their way to connect through natural tropical beaches and virgin forest. Despite its luxurious offerings, Africa is best suited for adventurous backpackers because it makes everything more affordable and enjoyable.
Uganda’s Ssese Islands, according to TrekEffect, is a great destination because it is just emerging -- meaning fewer tourist competition in the area and cheaper prices. Backpackers can land in Uganda and head to Buggala Island where a ferry will leave to Ssese Island from 8AM to 2PM twice a week. In Ssese Island is a paradise built on fresh seafood, lodging near beaches and cheap but tasteful beer.
Another adventurous trip would be in Inhambane, Mozambique. Landing into South Africa, take a flight to Inhambane from Johannesburg every Monday, Wednesday and Friday or drive through Nelspruit, Maputo and Xai xai’s towns. Whichever you choose, hammock retreats along white-sand beaches, coconut specialty drinks -- both alcoholic or not -- and bamboo huts await backpackers for prices cheaper than Southeast Asia probably.
Planners for multi-destination Africa tours should combine wildlife and exciting activities. According to The Guardian’s starter guide for African backpackers, the South Africa - Naimbia - Botswana - Zambia route is best for adventurers. Travelers can enjoy amazing activities such as sandboarding, skydiving and dune-buggying and through an expedition in Botswana’s Okavango Delta with this route.
Another recommendation is the Tanzania - Kenya - Uganda - Rwanda route that goes through palm beaches and nearer the Kilimanjaro Mountain. Specialist hotels near the mountain also offer hikes to the mountain in conjunction with locals familiar with its trail. Top things off with a memorial of the Kigali genocide before leaving this slightly laid-back vacation option.
