If you want to go to Africa, there is only one choice, Namibia. It is a huge country with a relatively small population, a pretty stable government and a great standard of living.

... and you can be bored to death in two years. Beach is restricted, you can stand in the middle of the main N-S hwy for an hour and never be in danger, only good restaurants are German, and the tallest building is about 6 stories.

OH, and in the North you may still get shot at .. is SWAPO still around?

Ooo, them's fightin' words :-)

I grew up in Namibia and was never bored. But it depends on what interests you. If you are an outdoors person, then it is the place for you. If you are a citydweller, then I am afraid that Africa, with the possible exception of South Africa, is not for you.

Can you maybe elaborate on your statement that the beach is restricted? Yes, you have some diamond areas, but you also have a large stretch of beach, around 500 miles, that is accessible, and you can take your off-road vehicle onto the beach. The swimming sucks (water is too cold), but the fishing is pretty good.
