G. Let me know when you've touch down in Naija.

We need to get Coli Meetups popping for West Africa.

I'm eyeing Tanzania or Egypt for next year.

@The Chief @phcitywarrior

I've heard nothing but good things about Tanzania. It's gonna be part of East African tour, both Daar and Zanzibar. I did hear that the English in Tanzania ain't as good as say Kenya. Either way should be a good time.

I'm not to fond of North African travel. Maybe out side Morocco, I don't really have any interest. I'm a Sub-Saharan African dude any day of the week. Once I get my 2nd SA trip done and Nigeria+Ghana, then I have to do a proper West African tour Lagos to Dakar road trip.

One of my siblings been to Tz and LOVED it. Tz is one of my dream countries especially because I love Swahili history and wanna visit the Kilwa ruins but also Tz has very beautiful scenery. I also love the culture and the way Swahili sounds.:wow:

I wanna stay in both Daar and a 2 day trip in Zanibar. If I go to Tanzania it'll probably be my most EXPENSIVE trip yet cuz I'm gonna wanna do and see a lot of shyt. Thats why I haven't visited yet.

This cat wants me to go to Morocco with him but idk. My ex who was Moroccan wanted me to go there wit here. But I wanna go to Egypt because I HAVE to see the pyramids before I die.:wow:

I do a tour to Cairo, Luxor and then Aswan to see the Black Nubians.:wow: Egypt would be some Indiana Jones/Nathan Drake type of trip shyt. I don't care about modern Egyptian culture just wanna see the Black excellence of indignous nile valley civilization. I'm a big Nile Valley civ head.

Then why not head to the Sudan esp the south. I would love to go to Juba.

lol i was about to say. You probably can't get a visa to go there because of the conflicts.
Facts. There's probably even a travel warning. And IF you do go there coming back to the USA the airport customs gonna be like, "what were you doing in Sudan(or South Sudan) sir?:leostare:"

I remember when these fakkits were questioning my Ethiopia trip on some "what were you doing in Ethiopia for 2 weeks with such a small bag?:leostare:" then they were like "we're joking!:umad:"

Lucky b*stard.

Anyways I loved Addis and I also hated it. Weird.
I'm based in Addis Ababa right now for a project but am headed to Zanzibar next week for some R&R, then after coming back from DC for my boy's wedding, I'm planning to hit Mombasa for my bday.

Still wanna go to Morocco and Tanzania.

How do the sisters feel about Black Americans? :lupe:

Any who, since I'm a sucker for the chocolate ones, the south might be better suited for me :manny:

They love $$$$ and if you have it you'll eat. Wasn't able to do anything as I was being "babysat" but was talking to a chill Ethiopian chick from Hawassa also these Ethiopian traditional dancers made me dance on stage since they knew I was American. But if you have $$$ then yea you'll eat.

This trip to Nigeria in December is about to be :ohlawd:


Lagos is calling me :mjcry:

That feeling once I touch down in MM2 and get a drop to the Island
My body is ready.... :wow:
I'm feeling the same way. I'm about to say fukk Colombia, skip San Pacho AND save straight through December. Seems West Afrika is the place to be in December. I'm still researching which city I want to post up at.

Without a doubt. The 4 weeks between the middle of December and the 1st week in January are absolutely crazy. I'd say you'd probably want to post up in Accra first to get your feet wet and then Lagos once you've got your bearings. You really can't go wrong with either though.

I see you repping Haiti. If your French is on par, then I'd say Abidjan should be looked at as well. From what I've heard, it's got the best nightlife in Francophone West Africa. It's also a big bustling city. Dakar I've heard is more relaxing, so depends on what your looking for.

Don't sleep on East or Southern Africa either. If not for the fact that I haven't been to Lagos in a while, I'd do Jo'Burg instead.
