Africa has more to offer than most people can imagine. It’s not just about safaris and poverty it’s a continent full of contrasts, colors, flavors, and people who will surprise you. In this section, we share our experiences from African destinations that are well worth the trip.
We write about Morocco its medinas, the Sahara, and the blue town of Chefchaouen. But we’re gradually adding other African destinations as well. Here you’ll find tips on transportation, safety, accommodations, and food all with the understanding that Africa isn’t always easy to plan for, but it’s always worth it.
Ad space: Traveling in Africa requires a bit more preparation than a trip to Barcelona. We carefully search for accommodations on Booking.com and book tours and safaris well in advance through GetYourGuide, where you can also find verified local guides with reviews from real travelers.
Let yourself be inspired. Africa is waiting and we’ve paved at least part of the way for you.
Morocco is the first African destination that comes to mind for many Europeans. And rightly so it’s close, affordable, and incredibly diverse. What to see in Morocco depends on how much time you have and what you’re looking for. The hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, the tranquility of the desert, or fresh fish on the coast.
In this section, you’ll find a guide to Marrakech and its winding medinas. Tips for a trip to the Sahara, and recommendations for Fez, Essaouira, Chefchaouen, and the lesser-visited mountain villages of the Atlas Mountains. We write about transportation train vs. bus vs. car rental about staying in riads, and about how bargaining works in Morocco and what to do when you get tired of it.
Ad space: We’ve traveled through Morocco several times, taking a different route each time. We book our accommodations through Booking.com, where you can also find traditional riads with reviews. For trips to the Sahara and organized tours, we recommend GetYourGuide it helps you avoid chaotic haggling on the spot.
Morocco is a destination that will either captivate you immediately or frustrate you for a moment before captivating you. Either way it’s worth the trip.
