Situation politique au Zimbabwe
Je compte aller au zimbabwe en juin 05, à Vic Falls, puis visiter les parc du nord (Hwange, Matusadona et Mana Pools) pour faire de la photographie animalière.
Depuis les dernières élections, la situation au Zimbabwe a-t-elle évoluée ? si oui avec quels impacts sur le tourisme ? j'étais déjà allé à Vic Falls et Hwange en 2002 et je n'avais rencontré aucun pb (je garde un excellent souvenir de ce séjour).
Par ailleurs, j'ai entendu dire l'année dernière que le braconnage s'intensifiait dans les parcs, et que d'autre part le gouvernement avait fait abattre des centaines d'éléphants en 2003/2004. Si cela est vrai, les animaux risquent d'être très craintifs...
Merci de vos réponses.

Des infos sur la Namibie
Bonjour à tout le monde,
J'ai besoin d'un maximum d'infos concernant la Namibie. Mon amie et moi partons courant septembre/octobre pour 4 semaines.
Est-il possible de voyager en utilisant les moyens de transport locaux et le stop à travers le pays ou non ?
Nous voyageons habituellement en sac à dos et toile de tente, mais le pays est vaste. Est-il vraiment nécessaire de louer une voiture ? Pouvons-nous camper là ou la fatigue nous arrête ?
Merci pour tous vos commentaires.

Entrée touriste en Afrique du Sud
Bonjour. Je pars pour l'Afrique du Sud dans une semaine, mais quitte mon domicile après demain jeudi. Je pars en tant que touriste... et j'ai réservé un billet d'avion aller le 26 aout et retour le 1 decembre, ne sachant pas à l'origine que la durée limite de séjour d'un touriste était de 3 mois... La durée de mon séjour indiquée par le billet est de 3 mois et 4 ou 5 jours... J'ai peur de me faire refouler à l'entrée au pays, ce qu'ils peuvent légalement faire d'après l'ambassade d'Afrique du sud... et je ne peux pas changer ma date de retour sans payer 100 euros à ma compagnie aérienne...
Est-ce que vous pensez qu'ils vont me créer des ennuis à l'entrée dans le pays pour 4 jours de plus sur mon séjour? Est-ce que votre expérience peut m'éclairer sur ce que je devrais faire pour ne pas perdre l'intégralité de mon séjour ?
Merci cde vos réponses au plus vite!!!

Kalahari Gemsbok national Park (Namibie)
Je prépare un voyage en Namibie et souhaiterais faire un détour par le Kalahari. Quelqu'un peut-il me dire par où doit-on y entrer ? Est-ce qu'il y a des campings à l'intyérieur du parc ? Combien de temps conseillez-vous d'y rester ?

Co-équipier(e) Irlande ou Espagne
Je projette de partir trois semaine/un mois juste avant noel ( ou juste apres ) pour faire un tour a velo de trois-quatre semaines de préférence en Irlande, mais je comprends bien que le froid et la pluie puissent rebuter certain et donc je n'exclue pas un pays + chaud mais quand même en Europe. Je suis géographe thésarde et j ai bien roulé ma bosse, je reviens juste de 6 mois passés en Afrique australe, au Lesotho SA, Namibie et Botswana. Je ne suis pas de nature stressee, bien sur un periple a velo ca s'organise surtout si on veut trouver les meilleurs plans, mais dejà je voudrais trouver des gens très motivés, souples et confiants qt a ma motivation pour realiser ce petit projet vivifiant. Le mieux serait que je trouve moyen de me greffer sur un projet, mais faute de mieux, je poste. Sinon : ou pourrais- je trouver des sites d annonce pour trouver co-equip velo ? Danke.

TDM Afrique et Amérique
African fever ? Si qqn est allé en Afrique (plus l'Afrique de l'est et/ou du sud) comprend ce que ça veut dire.
Mon projet est de faire un TDM axé sur l'Amérique centrale et du sud, puis l'Afrique.
Chercher coéquipier(e) de confiance bien sûr, flexible, mûr(e), qui sache se prendre en main mais aussi partager tant matériellement que moralement.
Départ prévu ? Pas avant mai-juin, le temps de faire encore un peu d'économies, de trouvers les voyagistes les moins chers, de rendre l'appart', vendre des meubles, prendre un maximum de renseignements.
Les pays ? A décider ensemble, personellement je serais plutôt tentée par : Mexique, Nicaragua, Bolivie, peut être Argentine, puis Mali, Botswana, Namibie, Mozambique, Afrique du Sud.
Open pour les conseils qui sont les bienvenus et pour les propositions

2 spots to share for a photo safari in Kenya in July 2027
Hello everyone,
I’m organizing a photo safari with a friend in Kenya, and we’re looking for 2 people to complete our small group.
📅 Dates: July 13–23, 2027
🗺️ Itinerary:
Masai Mara Lake Naivasha Amboseli Tsavo East Tsavo West
We’ll be accompanied by a confirmed French-speaking guide, experienced in photo safaris and deeply familiar with the parks and wildlife.
💰 Price: 3,800 € per person (excluding international flights).
I’m not just looking for travelers—I’m looking for people who share the same philosophy: taking the time to observe, respecting the animals, savoring every encounter, and, of course, fully embracing the passion for wildlife photography. I’ve been lucky enough to go on safaris in Namibia, Botswana, and twice in Kenya. Despite these incredible experiences, Africa still fills me with wonder, and I still get emotional when I hear a lion roar at dawn or see a family of elephants crossing the path.
Whether you’re an amateur or experienced photographer, what matters most is the desire to share this adventure with good humor, patience, respect for nature... and a few very early mornings to enjoy the best light! If this adventure appeals to you, feel free to send me a message. I’d be happy to chat with you!

How to find out where to see animals while traveling?
After taking a little trip around the world, I came back a few months ago with an idea in mind.
I mostly do diving, and I love observing animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them.
During the trip, I realized it was quite complicated to know where and when to see certain species.
For example:
where to dive with sharks or manta rays where you might get a chance to swim with whales
I even discovered thresher sharks during my trip… I didn’t even know this species existed before, even though they’re incredible to see.
We spent a ton of time searching for info all over the place, especially on social media, without ever getting a clear picture.
So I started putting all this together on my own, in the form of a map, to make it easier to visualize where to go depending on the seasons.
I recently put a first version online (it’s called Fauneya). There are probably mistakes, inconsistencies, or things to improve, and that’s partly why I’m posting here.
I’d really love to know how you all go about planning this kind of trip.

South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini Itinerary
Hi there,
In two months, I’m heading off for 4 weeks with three backpacker friends to South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini.
We’ve got our round-trip flight tickets from France to Johannesburg and plan to drive from Johannesburg to Cape Town and back to Johannesburg in an SUV or 4x4.
For other city trips, we’ll use local transport or Uber.
That’s the plan for our transportation.
For the car rental, I’d like to know which company to book with. Can anyone give me some tips on renting a vehicle and crossing into Lesotho and Eswatini?
Next, I’ve put together a rough itinerary that seems good to me, but could you share your experiences and maybe point out any mistakes I’ve made?
Day 1: Arrival in Johannesburg Day 2: Johannesburg (city tour) Day 3: Johannesburg to Cape Town (old town) Day 4: Cape Town (Table Mountain) Day 5: Cape Town (Robben Island + port) Day 6: Cape Town (peninsula: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope) Day 7: Cape Town to Stellenbosch to Franschhoek Day 8: Franschhoek to Greyton to Genadendal to Montagu Day 9: Montagu to Swellendam Day 10: Swellendam to Overberg Day 11: Overberg Day 12: Overberg to George (Garden Route) to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) Day 13: Gqeberha to Queenstown to Aliwal North Day 14: Aliwal North to Lesotho (Maseru) Day 15: Lesotho Day 16: Lesotho to Drakensberg Day 17: Drakensberg Day 18: Drakensberg to Durban to St. Lucia Day 19: St. Lucia Day 20: St. Lucia to Eswatini Day 21: Eswatini Day 22: Eswatini to Kruger Day 23: Kruger Day 24: Kruger Day 25: Kruger to Blyde Canyon Day 26: Blyde Canyon to Johannesburg Day 27: Johannesburg Day 28: Johannesburg to France
That’s the plan. Of course, it’d be perfect, but some spots probably deserve more time, while others might be less interesting. I hope you can help me fine-tune this route.
Thanks in advance for your patience and great advice.
Cheers,
Didier

What can you see on safari in Tanzania in June?
hi,
We’re thinking of traveling to Tanzania in June (more specifically the first half) and would love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding the Serengeti safari. Is it a good time to see the animals? Would it be better to go later? For those who’ve been there during this period, do you recommend it?
thanks in advance
Cape Town to KTP Route
Hi there,
We're considering the following route:
- Cape Town
- West Coast National Park
- Lambert's Bay
- Springbok
- Upington
- KTP
That’s about 1,250 km in total.
We’ve already visited the West Coast National Park.
Is covering such a distance to reach KTP (the main goal of our trip) really worth it—does it offer enough to justify the detour?
Thanks for your input!
Connection Time at JNB Airport
Hi there,
I’m heading to Kruger Park for 4 days in May 2026.
Departing from Paris → Skukuza via JNB on Air France.
Here’s what’s worrying me: my flight lands (in theory) at JNB at 8:30 AM (Terminal A), then I’ve got a JNB → Skukuza departure at 10:05 AM (Terminal B).
That leaves me with 1 hour and 35 minutes to make the connection and clear customs.
I don’t have any checked luggage—just carry-on. I called Air France, and they said it’s doable (in theory) with a minimum connection time of 1 hour 30 minutes (which is why they sold the ticket), but I’ll need to move quickly.
From your experience, is this realistic in practice?
Can I ask customs officers to let me through as a priority? (I’ve got my flight ticket to show.)
Thanks for your insights!

Preparing a Zimbabwe-Zambia Road Trip
Hi everyone,
I’m starting to plan an itinerary for September 2027 focused on Zimbabwe and Zambia. I’d love to visit Gonarezhou National Park—I see there are two sectors: the Mwenezi Region in the south and the area around the Runde River in the north. Should I cover both sectors or just focus on the northern region?
For the parks along the Zambezi River, is it better to visit Mana Pools on the Zimbabwe side or Lower Zambezi on the Zambia side?
Thanks in advance for any tips on the parks in these two countries.
Have a great day, everyone.
When is the best time to travel to Namibia?
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
Discussion: Cats of the World – August 2025 Photo Contest
This is where you can chat about all things feline.
Here’s a beautiful specimen already:


Reflections: Theme for the May 2025 Contest
Here’s the theme for the lovely month of May—no worries, it won’t be lilies of the valley! 😄
This month’s theme is: “Reflection(s)” This leaves a pretty wide scope: reflections in water, of course, but also in windows, on buildings... I’ll leave it to your imagination, but the reflection should be clearly visible.
If this theme has been used before, it doesn’t matter. It’s getting tricky to find new themes that can attract as many participants as possible.
I’m currently in northern Finland and don’t have access to my hard drives, so I’ll add a few photos when I return to France. Here’s just one I took with my smartphone yesterday late afternoon:

Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Monday, May 26 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Tuesday, May 27 to Saturday, May 31 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
The selected photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the author of the photo with the most points.
Results will be published on June 1. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing the June 2025 contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in another contest are not eligible for this one.
This thread is exclusively for photos submitted to the contest. Any discussions or comments should be posted in the following thread: https://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=10707526;a=10707526
