Liwonde National Park – This is the closest that Malawi has to a game reserve but a visit is still worth it. The River Shire, it cross the park in the west is the place to spot the elephants, hippos and crocodiles, while the east of the park would reveal sable and roan antelopes, zebras and elands. This is also a good place for bird watching as it has a wide varie Lake Malawi National Park - Lake Malawi contains the largest number of fish species of any lake in the world. Main attraction to this park is the Livingstonia Mission which was built in memory of Dr Livingstone. Nkhata Bay, Chintheche, Nkhotakota and Bay of Kotor are some of nices places to spend the night with great scenic views.

Livingstonia – This little paradise is set on the edge of Lake Malawi and is an idea place for a honeymoon. Eating some of the excellent cuisine on offer by the azure waters or rest and relax around the beautiful pool overlooking the golden sandy beach, Livingstonia provides a great memory for a any holiday maker.

MAURITIUS

 Grand Baie – Think deep blue sea, swimming, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing and boat excursions to other blissful islands, then is the place for you. It also has planet of restaurants and a good night life.

. Flacq – Boasts of some of the best beaches in Mauritius, with plenty of water sports on offer.

 Rodrigues - This is where Mauritians go to holiday, a paradise away from paradise. Might not have as many attractions as the main island but is selling point is you can still have all the sun soaked beauty Mauritius has on offer in a less crowded and simpler environment.

MOROCCO

 Agadir - Has one of the most awesome beaches in Morocco and a few nice golf courses as well. Also visit the walled city of Taroudannt, Paradise valley and the Massa Lagoon which are not too far from Agadir.

Tangier - This is a city with a lot of charm and history, it also has some lovely beaches. There are plenty of restaurants and nightclubs which make for an entertaining nightlife.

Rabat – One of the four Imperial cities of Morocco. Be sure to visit the Royal Palace, especially during the guard change on Friday mornings. This city is filled with a lot of historical attractions, and its sister city Sale should not be overlooked.

 Meknes – Another of the imperial cities. Be sure to visit the impressive tomb of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who built many of the monuments found in the city, most especially the city gates. The well preserved Roman ruins at Volubilis are not far from the city and are well worth a visit.

 Fez – The medieval capital of Morocco is third of the Imperial cities. This is the birthplace of the Fez cap and is home to one of the oldest and largest medieval city in the world, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Marrakech – The last of the Imperial cities, the city is famed for its markets and festivals. The markets provide an unbelievable atmosphere with snake charmers, musicians, magicians, acrobats and storytellers.

Many travel to South Africa as part of an African roots experience, which might also include visits to other sights in West Africa. Others travel for the natural beauty of the place and for its wildlife. Yet others seek cultural and historical perspectives from a land that has recently abolished apartheid.

 

So, I don't know what you seek; but, I will answer this giving you a blend of options.

 

1. Capetown/Table Mountain/the Winelands

 

 

Table Mountain, South Africa

 

Cape Town, South Africa  Winelands, South Africa

"The natural beauty of Cape Town makes it one of the most attractive cities in the world. Cape Town boasts beautiful beaches as well as the impressive Table Mountain right in the heart of the city. The restaurants are world class, and so are the wines. Cape Town is also one of the most culturally diverse cities in Africa and has reputation for social tolerance."

 

"The Winelands are situated east of Cape Town among beautiful mountains creating some stunning vistas. The region is steeped in culture and history with some excellent examples of typical Dutch architecture dating back to the 17th century. The Winelands encompass several regions each with their own wine tasting tours."

 

2. Kruger National Park

 

Kruger National Park, South Africa

 

"Kruger National Park is Africa's oldest established wildlife park (1898) and offers one of the best safari experiences in Africa. It's situated north of Johannesburg and takes about 5 hours to get to by car. It boasts the highest variety of wildlife in Africa which includes the "Big Five" [lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, cape buffalo], hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, cheetah and much more. Kruger is also one of the best maintained parks in Africa. The roads are all good quality and there's no need to rent a 4x4 vehicle."

 

3. Soweto

 

Soweto, South Africa

 

"Soweto may not be the most beautiful place you visit in South Africa, but it certainly ranks among one of the most important and interesting sights in the country. Soweto is a sprawling township situated just outside of Johannesburg and over 3.5 million people call it home. Much of the struggle against Apartheid played out in the slums of Soweto, and the township was in a virtual state of war during the 1970's and 80's. Nowadays, Soweto is a mixture of rich suburbs and poor shanty dwellings where crime is rife. But Soweto is also home to some of the most vibrant music and theatre South Africa has to offer.

 

When you visit Soweto it's certainly worth taking a tour. Not just because it may be the safest way to see the township, but because the history of Soweto is what makes it so interesting. Soweto also covers a huge swath of land, over 90 square miles, so it's easy to get lost."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Many who travel to South Africa and who are interested in nature, make a special trip north to Botswana and Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls is located where Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe meet. I didn't include this in my top 3, as this is not in South Africa. But, depending upon how frequently you plan to make the trip to this part of Africa, you may find it rewarding to add a couple days to your trip and take a flight and tour of Victoria Falls. I refer you to the Frommer's link below if you are interested.

 

Have a marvelous trip!

This is a very difficult question as there are so many places which i would love to visit, but the best place to visit in Africa according to me is  Victoria Falls on the Zambia - Zimbabwe Border.

The grandiose Victoria Falls is a waterfall found on the Zambezi river at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The waterfalls have the reputation of being the “largest curtain of falling water on earth”. The locals call them “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, literally meaning “smoke that thunders” because of the columns of spray that can be seen from miles away.

The Victoria falls are a must-see site in Africa because of their unusual form, and the diverse wildlife in their vicinity. On the Zambian side, it is possible to swim in relatively safe natural pools at the top of the falls

Most importantly you need to be creative. If you are that's great and you are on your way. And you need to have experience, not in writing, but in what you are writing about. For example Gaga wrote Just Dance from her experience of being drunk at parties. Since she knows what it's like, it gives her credibility. If someone writes anything that they don't know anything about, no matter how good the writer is, it's still not going to be that good.

Also when Gaga was asked about how she writes her music she says that it has to be like "wild condom-less sex" meaning that you shouldn't hold anything back when writing, and not to be afraid if you think others will think it is good. Just write from your heart.

I personally think Gaga is a terrible person to want to write like, not because of what she writes but because she is so amazing at it that her talent seems impossible to match. But good luck with trying. Smiley

The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million hectares, SANParks - Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies.

    * Vaccine 'could cut HIV TB deaths'

A protein which could be targeted for a tuberculosis vaccine has been discovered by scientists at Imperial College London.

TB is caused by bacteria and the only vaccine against it, the BCG jab, is not very effective.

The disease of the lungs kills approximately two million people worldwide each year.

The charity, TB Alert, said the research was promising, but a vaccine was a long way off.
A better option

Scientists are aware that the BCG vaccine is not good enough.

Professor Ajit Lalvani, who led the research at Imperial College London, said: "Despite most of the world's population having had a BCG vaccination, there are still nine million new cases of TB every year, so we urgently need to develop a more effective vaccine for TB."

Researchers are trying to find new proteins which can be used in a vaccine to trigger an immune response and provide long-term protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis

    * Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, which usually affects the lungs
    * It is transmitted via droplets from the lungs of people with the active form of the disease
    * In healthy people, infection often causes no symptoms
    * Symptoms of active TB include coughing, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats
    * Tuberculosis is treatable with a course of antibiotics
    * In the UK, around 9,000 cases of TB are reported each year, mainly in big cities like London
    * Source: World Health Organization/HPA

The study, to be published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, identifies a new protein called EspC.

Professor Lalvani said: "We've shown that EspC, which is secreted by the bacterium, provokes a very strong immune response, and is also highly specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This makes it an extremely promising candidate for a new TB vaccine that could stimulate broader and stronger immunity than BCG."

Consultant chest physician Dr Peter Davies, who is the secretary of TB Alert, said it was "promising" research.

He told the BBC: "We know of two other targets and the researchers have found a third, which could be useful.

"The trouble is it will take 10 years to find out if it will result in vaccine and whether that vaccine is any better than BCG."
