Want to backpack Africa and have the adventure of your life? Join the community of travelers who love and support travel in African countries.
” community was all about having a place where backpackers in Africa can connect with each other, share recommendations freely while supporting local businesses, and to make a positive impact on how people travel this continent. I always found myself surrounded either by fellow backpackers in Africa from all around the world, spending days and nights together, getting to know many new friends, or either with local people, getting to know many of them so good that we are still friends today 3 years later. Some of the community’s girl backpackers even wrote articles you can find on the website about the feeling of traveling as a girl in Africa as this is quite a popular question that we get a lot. * Use the community WhatsApp and Facebook groups to meet new friends and discover new ways of traveling this beautiful continent, ask and answer questions.
I dove in Hermanus, South Africa known as “The Great White Shark Capital of the World. I recommend doing it in Lesotho (because it’s the only country in the world to lie about 1000 meters in elevation and has lots of mountains) or Ethiopia (known as “the rooftop of Africa” with almost 70% of its country covered in mountains). I think the best ones are the 2 oceans Marathon in South Africa or Ethiopian Great Run (That’s the largest road race in Africa. It’s really cool because you’re literally walking through safari areas on foot.
Is Ethiopia Safe? On Saturday morning, I woke up in Addis Ababa to thousands of people walking past my street wearing shirts in honor of Dr. Abiy
Yes! Definitely! I backpacked Africa for 7 months. It was my first time backpacking ever! (So much for starting small 🙂 )
