As an African I must say I am impressed with this video. Initially when I saw the title I was a bit sceptical but you guys did a good job. I thing you forgot to mention though is that travelling within Africa is not cheap compared to travelling within Europe or SE Asia for instance. Because there are almost no budget airlines like in other parts.

I’m so glad you ended up enjoying the video, that means a lot to me as you’re a local!! 🤗 Where are you based? And you’re right - that is a great point. I’m thinking of doing a separate video about the costs of travel in Africa but this is definitely worth mentioning ❤️

This is a great video! I'm from Ethiopia, and am tired of all the stereotypes. I know if travelers come here, they'll love it! Thanks for making this video!

SO happy I found this video! I'm going to South Africa next year! A video about travel cost and how to budget would be great as well!

GIRLS! I just came back from a 3-week trip to South Africa. I was sincerely afraid to go but your video contributed to give me the courage to try it... AND OMG I LOVED IT!!!!! I was being more careful than at home, especially when it was dark. But other than that... I had a beautiful experience and actually can't wait to go back omg!!!! :) :)

Thanks for the video it was very informative! I went to Kenya last year (on a safari) and it was such an amazing experience, met some of the friendliest people and just had such a great time. I can't wait to go back to visit more countries in Africa. Could you do a video about how some volunteering does more harm than good? I know one day I would love to volunteer but I would want to make sure it was legit, also im interested in how some are not good. Thanks so much, hope you have a great rest of your trip!!

Very nice video girls! Thanks for that !!!

Thank you so much for making this video! Do you recommend any particular companies for the gorilla trekking for a female solo traveler?

YOU guys are awesome. All the points you mentioned are very good tips for someone who wants to travel to Africa. As you mentioned, the media has brainwashed most people and they scared to travel to Africa.

Hey Girls vs globe, love the video. You both mention going to the American or British governments' websites for checking out areas of conflict at around 2:20 . I can't really find this website anywhere, would you be so kind as to provide a link to either?

I have to ask- what happened to Val? I got really excited to watch her content and her YT & IG are gone. That being said I absolutely loved this video! It was really interesting and informative. I’m in the middle of binge watching your content and I can’t stop lol

Wow, you guys finally you meet each other, and i was dreaming that you meet eachother, it is beautiful to see you somebody who have the same passion wonderful beautiful Young lady, you make me back to home. I am absolutely in love what u are doing, love it frome Norway.

the link for Vals youtube channel says does not exist

What type of volunteering doesn't do harm abroad specifically? I know orphanages are a big tabo due to how it can effect the children later on and building/ construction projects if you don't know how to do it.

I have seen The girl with the black shirt in a movie with ethiopians,she is awesome!

Hi there. I'm thinking of riding my motorcycle from Morocco to Cape Town. I'm white. I'm 59 years old. I'm very experienced in long motorcycle rides. But Africa is different. As you say, on paper it looks dangerous. Is it? Which countries to avoid along that ride?

Hi, I am travelling to South Africa for 10 days in mid february, from Europe, and was wondering if we need to make any vaccine. Our minister of external affairs says no, but still, i was wondering. Also, any safety tips? i ve heard such terrible things about crime, theft and we are scared. We plan to stay one night in JNB, then rent a car, go to kruger park and from there, by plane, to cape town. Thank you! any tip is helpful. Please share your experience.---------------------------------------------------------

Did the video about volunteering came out yet? I found a few potential projects in South Africa but I am scared to death of their rape rates. How can I protect myself (solo female)? I know these tips: don't walk by myself at night, keep an eye on my drinks at all time, use official taxis, stuff like that. Anything else anyone?

many things are available obliged in our country Ethiopia

Okey, so you said you are vegans... (i am too..) and later you said try the local food etc to show respect... this is my dilemma... moral dilemma, because I dont want to disrespect different cultures, but I also do not want to eat animals... It would be nice if you spoke alittle bit about this. Because for someone who has not been to any African countries yet, my first thought is that there are alot of meat/fish dishes, and if you are welcomed to someone's house eventhough they might not eat alot of meat day to day, I think they will probably have more meat as a welcoming to you... what to do?? If anyone here is from an African country, please tell me which, and tell me how to respectfully and politely decline meat/fish... what should I do????

Me i like people who say Africa is bad place because it keeps our land from being not grabbed and way from foreigners

Is it safe for me to backpack alone in south Africa?
