For six-week trips of the kind I usually take, there were essentially three options: the north (Egypt to Morocco), the west (Senegal to Chad, though that would be at a breakneck pace), and the south and east (Kenya to South Africa). This last option seemed the most feasible as far as transport and safety were concerned - it's unfortunate that so many African countries are off-limits due to civil war. The Kenya-to-South Africa option also allowed me to take advantage of many of Africa's most enticing attractions: the national parks of Kenya and Tanzania, with their enormous variety of animals; Victoria Falls; the sand dunes of Namibia; and the Blue Train.
