On my first ever safari, a British couple in their 60s warned me about the African bug - a bug that’d make you itch to come back to the continent. 6 years and 4 trips later, I can tell you with confidence...
I love this so much! I don't have any memorable sunrises in Africa, but the most incredible night sky I've ever seen was hiking on a beach at night to get to a homestay after the tide had gone out. WOW. Unimpeded (almost) 360 views, I'd NEVER seen stars so bright...
OMGGGGGGG INDEED! My favourite bush is rather mundane: Wellington Botanic Gardens. I live just two minutes away from one of the entry points. A five minute walk and I get to be in the bush with the Tuis tweeting, Kakas squawking and Piwakawakas flitting. In the depth of it you'd forget you're only five minutes from a main busy road. The rustling leaves cancels out the traffic noise. In summer, the cicadas are deafening!

The Okavango looks incredible Vicky! For me it has to be Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe.
