In Africa the best months are from may to august or september, then it is winter there and it isn't that hot as in the summer. If you go in the summer the temperatures will be unbearrable.

[/quote] Yeah! Thanks! I will start from Cape Town till Nairobi and i will do it in , more or less, 3 or 4 monts, not more. I think it´s possible do it in 3 months but anyway, if i could, i would like go also to Ethiopia. Who knows. ¿? The cheapest plane tickets to Cape Town are in April so i think i will start early in April. Thanks for your help. Any other opinion, tips or advices will be really appreciated.

You should definitely spend some days in the vinyard area of Paarl, some 60 kms from Cape Town, see the world's second largest granite mountain, the Africaans taal monument and spend some time doing wine tastings.... there are two table grape farms with guest houses called Picardie and Laborie where you can have a cheap overnight in Paarl. Also don't miss to see Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, two really tiny cities. Have a good time ! Ute Reply    Reply with quote    Contact sailor
