Has anyone travelled to more less touristy countries..or countries that are growing in popularity? Was looking at places like the Congo and Angola, but would like to hear from anyone who has travelled the lesser popular destinations
I've only been to places you'd describe more touristy. My youngest has been to Uganda, Congo and Tanzania. Eldest been to Tanzania too.Has anyone travelled to more less touristy countries..or countries that are growing in popularity?

Re Uganda, my laddie stayed here in KampalaJust thinking of visiting places with interesting stories...historic buildings...maybe a safari
Worked a lot in Africa over the years, especially Uganda, Tanzania and Sierra Leone. Uganda is beautiful, especially the west/southwest. Rainforest to glaciers all in the same view. Easy to get off the beaten track but if you are relying on public transport it can be a struggle. Ethiopia is definitely worth a visit, very much unique in culture, landscape, food etc.Has anyone travelled to more less touristy countries..or countries that are growing in popularity?

Always wanted to go to Ethiopia. I’ve worked in North Africa - Morocco, Tunisia and (Gaddafi era) Libya. I always get the shits in those countries though. Also worked in Botswana (highly recommended), Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. I always enjoyed my time in SA but god it’s violent. I’ve seen some very dark stuff in and around Durban. The more remote bits up by the Sani Pass by Lesotho are wonderful though. Apart from our own Highlands, it was one of the nicest and most spectacular places I’ve ever been.Worked a lot in Africa over the years, especially Uganda, Tanzania and Sierra Leone.
