Now that I know I can get a refund minus $100 for my impromptu British Airways purchase upon arrival in South Africa, or change the dates for $50, I need to quickly decide how much time to spend in the region (can you believe I've already been here almost a month?).
If I were at the start of my RTW trip, I would be booking a long overland tour from Vic Falls to Nairobi but with less money in the bank, I want to be more conservative.
Here are the options I'm giving myself….please help me decide!

November 13, 2008 at 10:00 amMozambique, definitely. Everyone who I know who’s been raves about, it’s stunningly beautiful and still relatively unspoilt.

November 13, 2008 at 1:57 pmI had a tough time voting, but ultimately went for Victoria Falls. At the same time, I can’t imagine going through Africa without doing a safari! (I’m not a big fan of beaches, so while they might be beautiful in Mozambique like Geoff said, they’re just beaches in my mind.)
And I think your photos make your posts that much more real and interesting, so I wouldn’t mind you spacing out the entries but with photos. :)

November 16, 2008 at 8:31 pmI’d say less is more :wink: . Better visit fewer countries and be able to really explore and experience them, then run around more continents and scrape the surfaces. You’re there now anyway Livingston!
Dave says
November 17, 2008 at 8:03 amI agree….as evidenced by my month in South Africa already!! ;)
