Listen up bloggers and blogettes, as now is your chance to get the low-down on Africa. We’ve got friends pitching in from across the continent – giving you their expert comment on everything from hip and happening music in Nairobi, to the best kit for overlanders and playing it safe as a traveller. Grab yourself a coffee every Wednesday, as this will be your opportunity to catch up with our Africa pundits.
First up is Arjen Koopman, Editor of the Kenya Advisor – the independent Kenya travel guide. If you want to stay safe in Kenya, this is one “Africa addict” who knows the wildlife capital like the back of his hand. Catch up with him here this Wednesday 08 July.
We also thought you’d like to hear more from Acacia’s fans so watch out for our regular highlights. "Real Wanderers On The Continent," will appear every Friday…and will feature real tours and real people who are really addicted to Africa!
Alex Zelenka from the Czech Republic is lucky when it comes to leopards. Go overland and head from Nairobi to Cape Town with Alex, this Friday 10 July.
We’re happy for you to offer up some hints too. If there’s an Africa topic you’d like to bang on about – we’d like to hear it…don’t be shy – send us a “twip” (tip) or two on Twitter or Facebook
