Overview
With the sound of the vuvuzela still relatively fresh, the consensus appears to be that South Africa hosted a hugely successful World Cup, firmly challenging some of the negative perceptions of the continent and taking the joy and warmth of Africa into millions of homes on every continent.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
South Africa: Stars of the World Cup Football may have been king within South Africa’s shiny new stadiums, but it’s outside of their turnstiles where the true stars of the 2010 FIFA World Cup were found. In this 10-page feature, we shine the spotlight on tourism venues around each of the tournament’s nine host cities that truly captured visitors’ imaginations.
Uganda: One step for man, one giant leap for you Follow John McKinnell into the thinning atmosphere of Uganda’s Rwenzori Range and be one of the lucky few to take memorable steps atop the ‘Mountains of the Moon’. Although visited by a mere fraction of those who take to the slopes of Tanzania, Kenya or Ethiopia, the Rwenzoris are one of Africa’s most underrated trekking destinations.
Tanzania: Sweet Serengeti Inspirational travel writer Brian Jackman ventures to the Serengeti’s western corridor to witness the annual wildebeest migration and to investigate a new programme hoping to bring the region’s black rhino population back from the brink.
Senegal: Sailing away Nick Boulos explores the secret waterways of West Africa’s stunning Sine Saloum delta.
Malawi: Lofty ambitions Martin Benadie finds himself atop the Malawi’s Nyika Plateau during the wet season. Time to hunker down and wait out the rains? Or is it the perfect chance to discover what this island of green may be hiding? Thankfully for us, he choses the latter.
Wildlife: Once in a lifetime When it comes to understanding mammal behavior, few people can compete with Dr Richard Despard Estes. His book The Behavior Guide to African Mammals is a classic, one that is still held dear by most scientists in the his field. Travel Africa speaks with him about his life’s work, and the opportunity readers have to join him on a trip to Etosha National Park early next year.
Zambia: Behind the camera Dale Morris joins a specialised photographic safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. With photography being at the forefront, Dale explains how these trips differ from a standard safari.
