Potepanje po Afriki se zakljuฤuje: obisk ลกe zadnje โ€˜prepovedaneโ€™ drลพave v Afriki in zasluลพene poฤitnice na otoku Sal

Naลกe ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve hrani seznam drลพav, kamor se zaradi varnostnih razlogov odsvetujejo vsa potovanja. Na seznam se trenutno uvrลกฤa devet drลพav, 5 v Afriki in 4 na Bliลพnjem vzhodu. Ker nisva nikakrลกna strokovnjaka na politiฤnem podroฤju in sploh, ker nisva niti pribliลพno dovolj samozavestna, da bi mislila, da veva bolje kot znalci na mzz, v seznam ne dvomiva. Drลพave so se na seznamu znaลกle z razlogom. Kljub temu pa je zanimivo, da ljudje, tudi tujci, ki se nahajajo v dotiฤni drลพavi, zadeve navadno ne dojemajo tako grozljivo kot jih prikazujejo mediji. โ€œPridite, v Banguiju sem ลพe veฤ let,...

Country Nr 60 โ€“ Cape Verde โ€“ turquoise waters and spectacular salt ponds

Country 60/196: Cape Verde Destination: Sal island Our last African destination was a great one - Cape Verde or more precisely Sal island. It's hard not to fall in love with this tiny island in the Atlantic, which is located almost halfway between Portugal and Brazil. Desert landscapes, beautiful beaches, a colorful city, welcoming people, spectacular salt ponds, and a gorgeous resort to celebrate (and mourn) the end of a great adventure. It was an absolute pleasure! :) โ™ฅ Things to see and things to do Cape Verde consists of 10 islands and 5 islets off the west coast of...

Country Nr 59 โ€“ Central African Republic โ€“ a visit to a dangerous country

Country 59/196: Central African Republic Destination: Bangui Our ministry of foreign affairs strongly advised us against visiting the Central African Republic as it has many safety issues. However, our project includes us traveling to all sovereign countries of the world, therefore, we had to make the trip. Still, we decided to only stay in the country for a day. Even though the government has recently reached an agreement with the armed groups the situation in the country is still far from stable, which was obvious by the number of armed soldiers and UN workers on the streets of Bangui. However,...

Edinstvena pokrajina, pogled na razkoลกno mestno promenado in reลกevanje onesnaลพenosti โ€“ z roko v roki

Angola se je po dolgi drลพavljanski vojni komaj pred kratkim zaฤela odpirati svetu, a glede na to, da ima veliko ponuditi, tako na ekonomskem, kot na turistiฤnem podroฤju, se bi znala kmalu znajti na seznamu vodilnih afriลกkih drลพav. Potencial drลพave sva spoznala, seznanila pa sva se tudi z nekaterimi izmed njihovih najbolj pereฤih teลพav. Najin obisk se je zaฤel v srcu prestolnice. V simpatiฤnem hotelฤku sredi ลกiritve in renovacij sva se razpakirala in se po zakotnih ulicah peลก podala proti srediลกฤu mesta. Po skoraj neznosni vroฤini sva se prebijala po revnih umazanih ulicah, ki moฤno zaudarjajo po kanalizaciji. Mimo propadajoฤih,...

Spektakularna moฤ narave v Kongu

Demokratiฤno republiko Kongo sicer naลกe zunanje ministrstvo ne uvrลกฤa na seznam najnevarnejลกih drลพav na svetu, vseeno pa se obisk Demokratiฤnega Konga ลพe nekaj let odsvetuje. V prvi vrsti zato, ker je drลพava pogosto prizoriลกฤe raznih politiฤnih trenj in uporov, poleg tega pa je v zadnjem ฤasu Kongo veฤkrat prizadela epidemija ebole. A turisti se kljub teลพavam vedno znova vraฤajo v to ฤudovito drลพavo, ki slovi po svoji neverjetni bioloลกki raznolikosti, po bogati flori in favni in po pohodniลกtvu brez primere. Najina izbrana destinacija je bil narodni park Virunga, ki velja za najstarejลกi narodni park v Afriki, oziroma natanฤneje, vulkan Nyiragongo....

Country 57/196: The Democratic Republic of the Congo Destinations: Goma, Nyiragongo volcano As Ebola continues to be an issue in the DRC, we decided to visit the country for only two days and to spend it in nature, far from the dangerous disease. The plan was to visit the DRC in December, but as Virunga National Park was closed from June 2018 due to some security concerns, we adjusted our plans and visited the first national park in the world in March. Our destination: the spectacular Nyiragongo volcano! ;) Things to see and things to do The Democratic Republic of...
