A traveller without information is like a bird without wings. He who is forewarned is forearmed. To travel in any location in the world, you would need the assistance of those who know the area best and have many reference readings to get the essential travel tips. From my personal experience, I would like to share the African travel experience. Africa has many attractions, sites, and towns; it is good to have proper information beforehand. There are areas with different cultures and people of different kinds. There are areas with trustworthy people and areas with complicated characters. The main password is trust nobody. There are those who want your money and will deliver a good service, and also there are those who will take your money and scam you. Personally, I do not blame them but it is a product of the poverty they face. It's very hard to trust a poor and illiterate person. Poverty brings many breeds. Having the fear of God makes one trustworthy because the deeds in the scripture can tame a greedy person.

Personally, I would like to thank the great platform tourHQ. They are doing a great job of connecting travellers to guides around the globe. It's a great achievement as they are working day and night to protect travellers around the globe. I call it a fair trade partner. With this great platform, travellers can explore the world, getting the best experience and unforgettable memories of the great tour destinations around the globe. Connecting the so-called experts or insiders with the travellers, one should not hesitate to use this great platform to explore the globe.

When one travels with an expert or insider, you will get the best travel experience, getting to know the hotspots and valuable culture of different communities you come across. There are many conspiracy theories and explanations that with the insider, one will get to know the true story and experience. I would like to share a personal experience regarding the understanding of the history of Africa. Many don’t know the real or original name of Africa. The original name of Africa was Alkebulan. This was in the times of the Pharaohs. During this time, the Indian Ocean had its original name Ratnakar or the Erythrean Sea. The map for trade navigation was called the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. Alkebulan is one of the old civilizations evidenced by the existence of pyramids and sphinxes in present-day Egypt. Also, the Great Rift Valley has two ridges, the Gregory or Eastern Wing and the Albertine or Western Ridge. There are many topics of discussion but I have focused on just a few. It’s the tip of an iceberg.

There are countless and endless lessons to learn in this great continent. Clients who have the luck to travel with the experts or insiders will get a true learning experience and lesson. Experts will give you first-hand information and lessons in the culture and values of areas of visit. Getting to know the travel seasons, as in the equator we have two rainy seasons, April/May and October/November, driven by the northeastern monsoon and the southeastern monsoon.

I recommend the use of tourHQ as a platform to book your travel and adventure. This great platform will connect you to the experts or insiders who know the area best.

We welcome you to Africa, and with the use of the tourHQ platform, you will meet the experts and insiders of your travel destination. I would personally like one day to visit Lalibela in Ethiopia to see the old monolithic churches found in that historic area.

Thanks a lot for reading this article, I will share more inspiring issues.
