I will like to know more about Africa

I would like to know more about Africa and how to be an correspondent regarding integration with my country - Brazil. I am planning to travel to Africa next year (January) and will be very nice to meet someone that really knows the places.

To go straight to the point, it depends on where you want to go in Africa. Africa has about 54 different countries and most of these countries speak different languages. The most important thing is to choose a country that speaks a language you understand. Most first-timers choose countries like Ghana which is an English-speaking country. Ghana is a very peaceful and friendly country in West Africa with so many interesting places and cultures. Ghanaians are very friendly and hospitable people so choosing a country like Ghana will make it a lot more easier for you. You can also consider francophone or french-speaking countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, Togo, Ivory Coast, etc. All these are friendly countries in West Africa. There are also interesting countries like Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, etc in East Africa. You may also consider friendly countries like Botswana in South Africa.

I know so many people in Africa I can connect you to but that is not the safest way to go about it. Almost all major airports in Africa today have trained professionals whose job is to help travelers. As soon as you land in Africa, you can easily get one of these trained professionals to help you. It is safer that way.

Integration???? Oil and Water don't mix! Never have and never will. Go over there and stir until your blue in the face and the most you will get for your effort is a bucket of sludge. Heaven knows your own country needs all the help it can get, just like mine. Charity begins at home.
