Survivor Gabon

Very soon Gabon will be featuring on the radars of hundreds of people.

Of course it's entirely to do with upcoming TV reality series, Survivor, which is due to be set in Gabon.

The African country is thrilled with the potential publicity and expected tourism boom. IN FACT, the president of Gabon as made a declaration setting aside 10% of the countries national reserves for the program!

The Survivor contestants will be in the Wonga-Wongue Presidential Reserve. And their neighbors? They will have elephants, chimpanzee, buffalo, lowland gorillas, poisonous snakes and spiders of all varieties as possible bed-fellows!

This is the first Survivor episode set in Africa since Survivor: Africa seven years ago, which was filmed in Kenya.

So, who's up for a trip to Ghana?

Arty Fart Types in South Africa

We are smack bang in the middle of the South African National Arts Festival...

Hosted annually in Grahamstown, this is one of the most memorable arts festivals you will experience in Africa.

Grahamstown is a small university town, that is transformed every year from late June to early July. The town gets taken over by arty farts from all across the world.

Small enough to walk from one side of the town to the other, transport is not an issue. Literally every corner of this town takes part in the festival.

Because it's set in the South African winter, gluwein and mulled wine are staples.
