10 Tips Before You Travel To Africa | Backpacking & Solo Female Travel Advice

Want to travel to Africa but feel a little worried? In this video two solo female travellers who went backpacking around the continent share their best tips!

I, Sabina, am at the beginning of a five month journey around Africa. I'll be travelling to Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Madagascar. My friend Val has been living in Ethiopia for five years and has backpacked around the continent on an epic journey from Cape Town to Cairo. She also runs the wonderful channel Backpacking Africa for Beginners where she shares tonnes of useful tips.

You can find her e-book here: https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?...

Together we will share our best tips on safety, local travel, packing and everything in between. We are solo female travellers who explored the region on a backpacker budget, but even if you're travelling in a group or have a lot of money to spend you'll benefit from our general advice.
