[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever been there? Experienced the dusty savannah crowded with amazing wildlife? The hot African sun and the heat at twilight?

Just sayin.....

People definitely get bitten by the African bug.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it is east Africa. The draw to go back is so strong. If i never went anywhere else in the world again, but there, I'd be content. It is like the dust and permeated every cell in my body. [/quote]

That is monumentally pretentious.

I expect you'd have a bit of fun absorbing the dust when so many people around you are desperate to escape it and everything else which goes with living there.[/quote][/quote]

Yes, not only have I spend considerable time in Kenya, Lamu Island etc but also in South Africa - Cape town,Johannesburg and Durban.

And I saw the extraordinary poverty - babies living on mattresses in the streets and shanty towns, while rich white folks eat extravagant meals right next to them. But maybe you were too busy looking at the dust.[/quote]

Yes, and look at you, you hypocrite. Lounging around in Lamu, possibly THR most luxurious destinstion in Kenya. Surely eating the fresh fish the locals could never be able to put their lips to.

But of course you were in Lamu in the peace core digging wells.

People in east africa in particular are BEGGING for tourism, especially along the coast. Their local economy has been devestated by somali terrorism. One of the best things you can do for Africa, in particular east africa is book a trip there. There are ZERO large corporations operating in that area. Any tours you do are run by locals and money goes into locals pockets. You are ignorant, but carry on withbyiur Royal caribbran cruise where you are surrounded by people exacrly like you, so you dont have to feel uncomfortable and don't have to learn anything.

Be careful, you might crack your head falling off that high horse.

Well said and good for you. Continue enjoying trips to East Africa. The pp you are responding to obviously doesn't have a clue that in many African countries (not all), many people (not all) depend entirely on tourism for their jobs. Hotel employees, restaurant employees, craftsmen and women, entertainers etc. Fewer tourists means fewer jobs. There is a lot more that can be done but visiting, spending money in some of these countries is a good start. [/quote]
