From vast deserts to snowy mountaintops, dense jungles to endless salt flats, sparkling waters and pristine beaches along the Indian Ocean, and much, much more. This solo backpacking journey through East Africa and Southern Africa took me to ten countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. Each destination was wildly different from the previous, with its own bucket list attractions and unique cultural activities. Nothing can prepare you for Africa's sheer diversity of breathtaking landscapes, countless wildlife encounters, and bucket list experiences that you won't find anywhere else in the world. This trip was a challenge in many ways, but a rewarding one, and ranking very highly among the favorite backpacking trips I've ever taken. These are ten of my favorite travel destinations that I visited on this epic adventure through Africa.

Great video with even an un-annoying voiceover! 😅👍
Great video! How long was your trip? And what was your approximate budget? I’m planning on doing a backpacking trip as well, so this is very helpful. I’m also glad you added Tanzania and Uganda to your top favourites! I visited both long time ago and I still dream of the places I visited.
Amazing vid.
This is incredible
Fascinating trip eli❤️
Oh I wish I could do this…good for you!!!
Could you do a budget (and maybe safety) breakdown for Africa?
Africa is such a gorgeous continent! It's so difficult to say what my favorite places are in Africa because the entire continent is lovely, but I'd say the Ngorongoro, the Maasai Mara, Zanzibar (specifically Stone Town), Victoria Falls and Cape Town are amongst my favorites for sure. I haven't been to Uganda yet, but it looks lovely too!
When were you in Zambia for the falls? I'm trying to decide which months to go, May or June.
I really like your videos! I was wondering how much you spend in total?
Bet thats a bad azz trip watching all nature animals etc😮
Great video and descriptions. I like the mix of known spots and some underrated but great visits. Hopefully you’ll make it to Mozambique sometime!
I’d like to compile a list of a few questions to send you. I just finished solo backpacking to country number 117. And I’m revisiting Africa this fall, but I’m visiting South Central and east for the animal migration. Most of my questions are about time, travel, and reliability of travel as well as hostels
suggestion: talk a little bit less on the videos. or at least some silence, music or the real sorroundings sound would be enough. thanks
Really great report, thanks. Surprised such an experienced traveller carries so much gear. I have backpacked most countries in the world with 6Kgs....inc snorkelling gear and musical instruments. I see people with skyscraper backpacks taking their dirty laundry to exotic parts of the world.... killing themselves!☘️🇮🇪🦘
