I would love to go to South Africa. :thumb:


As a side note - my parents are flying to Australia right now. Damn them for not taking me! :disagree: :grin:

where are they going?

I'm not so sure. I'm sure there are different type of tours with different levels of adventure etc..

I personally think a tour guide especially in a none English speaking nation could be very beneficial in terms of knowledge gained and getting a better understanding of the place.

I think I would do a short guided tour and after I get the basics and the layout of the land so to speak, I would venture out on my own.

I totally agree. My aunt has traveled the entire world, and while she was single she took multiple SmartTours. I look at it as a way to maximize the trip and get the most out of it. Every day you are going somewhere different, and you're doing it safely and getting the history/culture by someone that can explain it to you.

Scrum, I agree that a young person can travel Europe safely. I know she did an Asia one and a safari one, amongst others.
