Africa is a very large continent ☺️ Do you have any inclination where in Africa you want to go so we can give better recommendations?

We did a family trip (my parents (active 50s), brother (23), and husband/myself (25)) in May/June 2019 to South Africa and Zimbabwe. I would highly recommend Red Africa Safaris. It’s a small local travel agency with reasonable prices and they work closely with you to organize a trip that’s best suited for your family.

Tanzania for sure. Ngorongoro and Serengeti. There are options for different budget levels. I paid $400 for a 3 day 2 night safari that went to both parks, but we stayed in camping tents (not glamorous at all).

Just be careful with Ebola there, on top of Covid…

I hope this is a joke.
Ebola is not something you catch just walking down the street and is also not running rampant across the entire continent. Millions of people live there and are just fine.
If this isn’t a joke this is such an ignorant comment to make.

Can I join?

Seriously, the great migration is a bucket list item for me. Also gorilla trekking, however crazy expensive. Lastly, Namibia, there is an animal sanctuary where you can stay for free but you have to work with the animals. I realize not an ideal vacation to some but what an awesome experience that would be.
