I am planning a Tip to Africa this July-August, for a total of about 23 days. Expect to start in Nairobi, immediately leave for Kigali, Rwanda, to see the mountain gorillas [tickets in hand for two continuous days] back to Kigali before about a week in Tanzania--perhaps visit a game park or two--then on to Zanzibar for 3 nights; Onward to Gabarone, Botswana, on semi-official duties. I would love to visit the Dogon culture and Timbuktu. All comments and advice would be appreciated.
