Now that my journey has come to an end I decided to write a list of most of the activities and accommodations I used during my trip to Africa. I found myself giving tips and lots of recommendations to people so thought it would be helpful to put it on the blog if anybody ever needs help with planning their trip!
Hope my many hours researching for this trip comes in handy to more people than just myself!
