Potepanje po Afriki se zaključuje: obisk še zadnje ‘prepovedane’ države v Afriki in zaslužene počitnice na otoku Sal
Naše ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve hrani seznam držav, kamor se zaradi varnostnih razlogov odsvetujejo vsa potovanja. Na seznam se trenutno uvršča devet držav, 5 v Afriki in 4 na Bližnjem vzhodu.
