The Top Ten Areas That I Would Travel In Africa I've place hyperlinks to each place listed that shows an image that represents it.

  1. Rwanda
  2. Egypt
  3. Uganda
  4. Kenya
  5. South Africa
  6. Botswana
  7. Chad
  8. Ethiopia
  9. Zimbabwe

I would like to go to these places because of the beautiful landscapes, and all the interesting cultures. Much of my travels to Africa would include Humanitarian work. I would love to do social work in any of these places. I would even like to go with a group such as the Peace Corps, or Choice Humanitarian. Africa captivates me and I would love to experience it first hand some day!
