It’s a fascinating destination for those interested in African culture. The remote location, which is barely accessible by 4 wheel-drives, has meant that traditional customs and beliefs are very much intact for most of these tribes. The Kalashnikovs slung across some warriors’ backs can be a little disconcerting but the tribes are friendly and this is often the only western accessory you’ll see them wear.

How would you like to run with elephants on dirt tracks and muddy soil? Seems challenging and fun at the same time, isn’t it? But where can you possibly experience that once in a lifetime run? No place else but in Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. They have marathon programs that allow people to run alongside their gigantic elephants and you have options on whether to choose the mild 50 mile run or go for a hundred. Since this is a very strenuous run, the authorities are somewhat strict. They will only allow people who are endowed with physical endurance and excellent stamina to join the marathon.

アフリカで一番の冒険の目的地の一つとして知られており、 世界一高い山を旅行するよりももっと冒険的になりえるのは、タンザニアにあるアフリカ最高峰のキリマンジャロだ。 キリマンジャロの標高は19,340フィート、又は5896mで通常山頂まで６日かかる。 この山に関して興奮させる事は登山をするのは簡単に見えるかもしれないが、一度登山を開始すると登山をするのにふさわしく決意した人だけが頂上まで到達する事が出来る事だ。 だが登山をするのに特別な機器や専門的知識は必要でないが、人々は短パンにTシャツ、そして２本のビールを手に持つだけで簡単に登山できると思っている為、ほぼ７５％の試みは失敗に終わる。 冒険精神があるなら、キリマンジャロを訪れてみよう。
