Country 34/196: Cameroon Destinations: Douala, Limbe We were staying in the country's largest city - Douala, but since we're kind of tired of staying in big cities, we decided to take a daily trip to Limbe - a charming coastal town with a relaxed vibe and many beautiful sights. It was a great experience! Besides, the road to Limbe is pretty adventurous in itself, especially due to the fact that there were 9 of us sharing a tiny cab (it's called a minibus, but it's really just a regular car). ;) Things to see and things to do Limbe is...

Country 31/196: Rwanda Destinations: Kigali We were afraid that we won't be able to see why Rwanda is called 'the land of thousand hills' if we only visit its capital, but we were wrong. Kigali is one of the most diverse, green, clean, and beautiful cities we have ever been to and it sure has a lot of hills. ;) Other attractions in Rwanda include Volcanoes National Park, home to five volcanoes, and a large population of mountain gorillas, Nyungwe Forest National Park, Mount Karisimbi, and Mount Bisoke. In Kigali, the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which commemorates the 1994 Rwandan genocide...

Country 30/196: Uganda Destinations: Kampala, Entebbe Due to the extremely popular gorilla tracking tours in Uganda, its lovely capital is often overlooked, which is a shame, since Kampala offers a lot of beautiful sites, including various tombs, parks, churches, and mosques. Besides, the lovely lakeside town of Entebbe is just an hour away from the capital. It's located at the famous Lake Victoria, where one can find numerous beach restaurants, raw nature, and countless amazing sights. So, there you go, lots to do near Kampala. To unwind after a long day, make sure to stay at the wonderful Mestil Hotel. ;)...

Country 29/196: South Sudan Destination: Juba South Sudan is the youngest sovereign country in the world. We've had the pleasure to visit Juba - their capital city and we loved the fact that there are so many banners and movements promoting peace. We visited some pretty amazing places and we especially enjoyed the laid-back vibe at the beautiful Da Vinci bar on the banks of the White Nile and the Agrey Jaden cultural center, a place where people fight for peace and sustainability. South Sudan, we thank you for your hospitality! Wishing you peace and love. Note: Currently it is...

Country 27/196: Libya Destinations: Tripoli and Leptis Magna Due to political tensions and civil unrest, most governments advise against traveling to Libya. And even though we managed to find a window of relative stability, we must also advise against it. The situation in the country is still not stable, but life goes on in Tripoli and in the rest of the country. And what a country it is! ♥ The place where the Mediterranean meets the Arabic. Libya has so much to offer - kind people, amazing architecture, great food, so much history, and culture and even one of the...
