Salut à toutes et à tous

Nous souhaiterions mon amie et moi, partir en afrique (Burkina, Namibie, Botswana, Kenya...) en sac à dos, mais elle est un peu inquiète quant à voyager à l'aventure.

D'après vos différentes expèriences, pourriez-vous me dire si cela représente un danger ou quelques soucis particuliers de partir ainsi (hormis les problèmes similaires à ceux que nous rencontrons chez nous).

Aidez-moi à la convaincre😛

Merci

Three beautiful weeks during the Japanese autumn
by Patbill · 2026-01-02 · 60 replies
I’m sharing our three-week trip to Japan from late October to mid-November 2025. There were four of us—my partner and a couple of friends. I’ve traveled often with my friend Christian (Bolivia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Namibia, Laos), but this time our partners joined us. The rough itinerary: Arrival in Tokyo. Visiting Shinjuku/Shibuya districts + day trip to Kamakura 5 days in the Japanese Alps, from Matsumoto to Kanazawa (via Kamikochi, Hirayu Onsen, and Takayama) 5 days in Kyoto Nara, Osaka, Koyasan Return to Tokyo (Asakusa district), with a day trip to Nikko We booked our flights well in advance (9 months ahead): the flight cost 1086 € per person. Compared to over 2000 € if we’d booked for the same dates just 3 months prior. For accommodations, we mostly used Booking.com. The onsen was booked via Japanican, and in Kyoto, we stayed in an Airbnb. We also made 5 train reservations a month in advance on Klook or directly on the train’s website.

Day 1: Departure from Brussels (October 24, 2025) Early morning takeoff at 6 AM to Munich (1.5-hour layover) with Lufthansa, then a 12-hour flight with ANA, arriving the next morning at 7 AM at Tokyo Haneda.

Day 2: Arrival in Tokyo Airport formalities were quick. The eSIM we bought before leaving activated as soon as we landed (10 GB plan with Saily—more than enough for our mobile internet needs, mainly Google Maps and Google Translate). We’d received 4 ICOCA cards from our neighbors, which we loaded with 15000 ¥ each. We took the Keihin train, then the Yamanote Line. It’s easy to navigate since everything is in English, and each station is announced on scrolling displays in English too.

We got off the Yamanote Line at the station just after Shinjuku because it’s easier to exit that massive station with our luggage. So we ended up in Shin-Okubo, right in the Korean district. A 10-minute walk took us to Villa Fontaine Hotel. A great hotel, well-located north of the Kabukichō district. The room even seemed bigger than we’d expected.

It was 15°C, but it rained—and kept raining on and off all day. Belgian weather, basically. We went for a walk in Shinjuku Gyoen Park. Not as pretty in the rain, but the big greenhouse was interesting.

Then our first ramen (hearty and for 1000 ¥—pretty much the price of all our ramen during the trip). We headed back to the hotel since check-in was after 3 PM. Shower and relax before going out for dinner. Dinner was barbecue at Shichirin Yakiniku Anan (1700 ¥ each—good and cheap). Ordering via tablet wasn’t easy, but luckily it was in English.

We ended the evening with a stroll through Kabukichō before a well-deserved sleep.

Feedback on 30-day Denpasar to Singapore itinerary
by Rougegorge · 2025-10-09 · 11 replies
Hello everyone!

It’s such a pleasure to be back on VoyageForum after so many years. A long time ago, I used it to plan and share a wonderful trip between Namibia and Botswana.

This time, I’m preparing a family trip for next summer (two parents, a 15-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old girl) that’ll be our big Christmas gift. I already have the flight tickets: we arrive in Denpasar on July 13th and return from Singapore on August 12th.

Our main focus is Indonesia, but since we don’t often get the chance to travel this far, I wanted to take the opportunity to stop in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore on the way back. It’ll give my kids—especially my son, who’s passionate about geography—a taste of these two major cities.

We prefer quiet spots (no need for party vibes or trendy places), though the girls (yes, there are two of them!) still enjoy discovering local crafts, souvenir shops, and the like. We don’t mind organizing things ourselves—I actually love doing that—and I assumed it’d be easy to arrange transport between hotels by booking through them. We’re not chasing cultural discoveries (one beautiful temple is enough; no need to see all 35, even if they’re stunning).

After reading tons of websites, guides, and forum posts, I’ve put together an itinerary I’d love to get your thoughts on. It’s already changed many times… and I’m sure it’ll change again! The goal is to avoid obvious mistakes, see if we’re trying to do too much, or if some places aren’t worth the effort. Here’s what it looks like so far:

- **Day 1**: Arrival in Denpasar in the late afternoon. Transport to a hotel outside Denpasar.

- **Days 2–5 (4 days)**: Bali. We’d like to stay in one or two quiet spots, away from the southern area, to explore the famous rice terraces, temples, and maybe do some light hiking.

- **Day 6**: Transfer to Lombok by fast ferry from Padang Bai (to avoid going back to the busy southern port, since I’ve heard traffic there is chaotic).

- **Days 6–11 (5 days)**: Lombok. We’d especially like to climb Mount Rinjani (we’re in good enough shape for it) and spend 2–3 days in a nice, quiet seaside spot (I was thinking of the southern Gilis near Lembar or the beautiful beaches in the south of the island).

- **Day 11**: Flight from Lombok Airport to Labuan Bajo.

- **Days 12–14**: 3-day/2-night cruise to Rinca and the various "hot spots" of Komodo National Park.

- **Day 15**: Labuan Bajo. I was thinking of doing a beginner’s diving excursion.

- **Day 16**: Flight back to Denpasar, then transfer to Banyuwangi by bus/boat (apparently possible via Express Bahari).

- **Day 17**: Morning visit to Ijen Crater, then return to the same hotel to relax for the rest of the day.

- **Day 18**: Transfer to a base camp for a sunrise visit to Mount Bromo on Day 19. - **Day 19**: Visit Bromo. We’d like to spend the whole day there to enjoy the site once most people have left. - **Day 20**: Transfer to Surabaya or Yogyakarta. - **Day 21**: Flight to Medan, then transfer to Bukit Lawang. - **Days 22–25**: Bukit Lawang. Jungle trek for 2–3 days and some downtime for 1–2 days. - **Day 23**: Transfer to Dumai. - **Day 25**: Boat from Dumai to Malacca.

The rest isn’t as relevant here.

I have a few big doubts, especially: - Is it worth spending 4 days in Bali and 5 in Lombok, or would it be better to focus on just one island? If so, we’d probably lean toward Lombok—it seems quieter, and Rinjani is calling our name…

- I’m counting on the Komodo trip to explore the islands and marine life in the area. It sounds like a true paradise (manta rays, turtles, Komodo dragons…). From what I’ve read, snorkeling in Bali or Lombok doesn’t offer the same experiences. Do you think that’s really the case? I’ve seen some unflattering comments about Labuan Bajo… Originally, I wanted to do the Lombok–Flores crossing by boat, but the "mandatory" whale shark stop in Sumbawa seems controversial, so I ruled it out.

- For the stretch between Days 16 and 21, I’m not sure about the best way to organize things to enjoy Ijen and Bromo without being in constant rush mode or sleeping for just 3 days. I can’t decide whether to stay near the crater (the hotels seem basic—is it worth spending 2 nights there?) or farther away, even if it means more travel. I’ve also considered skipping Bromo to attempt the Semeru climb. There are also some nice spice plantations nearby (Margo Utomo in Kalibaru). Any thoughts?

Anyway, thanks for making it this far! :-)

Looking forward to reading your replies! !
Zambia in Summer 2024 – Self-Drive Trip
by Ellobo · 2025-05-12 · 26 replies
Well, here we go, despite the lack of info on Zambia, I managed to pull off this pretty special trip. I’d posted asking for tips but got very few replies. So I leaned heavily on Giradhino’s travel journal to plan the route.

The context: After visiting Kenya, then Namibia, then Botswana, I wanted to see another Southern African country—hence Zambia. This time, we’re two couples: us (of course) and our friends we’ve traveled with to the last two countries mentioned. The idea was to do a self-drive trip, picking up a 4x4 at the airport and figuring it out as we went.

We rented our fully equipped vehicle from Hemingways, an agency in Livingstone. Great agency (really), I’ll talk more about them later. It came with rooftop tents and all the gear for cooking and everything... However, our goal was to sleep in lodges and only use the tents as a last resort. Mission accomplished—we never even unfolded the tents. Guess we’re getting old 🙂

The route (summary): Lusaka - Kasanka NP - Bangweulu NP - Mutinondo - Kapishya - North Luangwa - South Luangwa and back to Lusaka.

That said, let’s hit the road for this travel journal of a pretty lively trip. Reminder: I’m more of a filmmaker, so I’ve got tons of footage but very few photos. The ones I have were taken on my phone, so they’re not great quality. My wife’s the one who handles that side of things.

Day 1:

At 9 a.m. sharp (or close enough), we leave the Lyon area, heading to Paris CDG. Our flight’s at 9:30 p.m., but it’s a busy Saturday with holiday traffic, so we play it safe to avoid jams—especially since the Olympics (hosted in Paris, in case you didn’t know) are causing extra traffic issues.

We’re relaxed and happy to be on our way. The drive goes smoothly. We take the eastern route around Paris to reach a hotel with parking at a better price than the airport lots. We leave the car there, and a shuttle takes us to Terminal 2. Bad luck—we’re actually flying from Terminal 1! The transfer between terminals is quick, though, so no stress.

After the usual formalities (with Rwandair), we end up in the Duty Free.

A rare rant-free moment: Usually, I let off steam in my travel journals now and then, but this time it’s the opposite. I had a terrible memory of CDG and had been avoiding it for years. But this time—Olympics effect? A big change? What a pleasant surprise! The staff were plentiful and super friendly at every pre-flight step, making everything easier. Comfortable seats for waiting to board. Well done, CDG!

We buy Ricard, Jack Daniel’s, and Get 27 to handle any situation that might come up. We board on time, and that’s when our adventures with Rwandair really begin. Yep, the first hiccup!

We’d booked our tickets back in October and (since we don’t hold back!) had paid extra for preferred seats on all our flights. Since October, we’d received emails about schedule changes—just a few minutes here and there. Unfortunately, we never got an email saying that *on top of* the schedule change, the plane’s configuration had also changed. So when we boarded with our seats (all four of us together at row 25), we were furious to see that the preferred seats were now row 23. We’d been *completely* scammed. We’d paid extra to end up in seats we’d been trying to avoid! You could say Rwandair double-dipped on the same seats. What a rip-off! We tried to negotiate an upgrade, but the flight was full. So our flight to Kigali started with a real sense of anger.

The +: We’re on our way The -: Rwandair
Grand Argentina Tour March 2025
by VoyageForum · 2025-05-07 · 0 replies
My buddy Christian and I (Patrick) set off for 28 days in Argentina in March. We’ve already shared several trips together (Bolivia Peru, Namibia, Laos, Costa Rica). Since we figure that at our age (65) we won’t be coming back here—there are just too many other places in the world to discover—we did the "grand tour" of Argentina.

Preparing for my first trip to Botswana
by Geminthebush · 2025-02-11 · 8 replies
Hello everyone, I’m in the planning stages for a trip to Botswana in October 2025. This will be an extension of my trip to Namibia in January 2025. Of course, I have a lot of questions!

First one: For day trips visiting Botswana’s parks in a self-drive setup, do I need accommodation *inside* the parks? Is it possible to visit them on a day-trip basis, like in Kruger Park or Etosha?

Thanks in advance for your answers! Have a great day!
Shipping a 4x4 to Durban from Réunion Island
by Gwendolyn · 2025-01-06 · 3 replies
Hi everyone,

I’m planning a road trip through Southern Africa during the 2025 austral winter—South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi... and if I feel like it, maybe back to Namibia, Botswana, etc. To make this happen, I’d like to ship my 4x4 in a high-cube container and pick it up in Durban. Has anyone had experience with customs clearance at the port of Durban (South Africa) using a CPD (Carnet de Passage en Douane)? Thanks in advance for any tips or firsthand experience on this!

Have a great day! Salar de Uyuni - Bolivia
Fur seals and seals in Southern Africa: rabies alert
by Michel85200 · 2024-11-30 · 2 replies
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals. At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans. It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies. The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals. The contagion seems to be spreading. Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered. Just a reminder: Rabies affects all mammals. Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable. It’s the bite that transmits the disease. There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression. In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential. Stay careful out there… Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
South Africa in Three Trips
by Michel85200 · 2024-10-16 · 89 replies
Hello,

In these post-COVID years, South Africa (SA) has drawn me back again... The long-time forum members will say I'm a bit obsessed (I've now surpassed 20 trips to this country, including 2 in Namibia)... But new readers can find my old travel journals and enjoy this new installment. So, three new trips... each lasting a month... always too short. I’ll try to be pragmatic.

Let’s start with the basics! You can plan your trip from your couch with complete peace of mind. Through any Booking site or directly (sometimes cheaper), I’ve never had any issues with my direct bookings—they’ve always matched what was promised. For national parks outside KwaZulu-Natal (where it’s KZN Wildlife), use the SANparks website, or Nature Reserve for that type of "accommodation." Air France, Lufthansa, or KLM... depending on the year and circumstances. Most flights are overnight, allowing you to arrive early in Joburg and... leave this city I don’t much like as quickly as possible. KLM offers a daytime flight to Cape Town... just arrange your first night’s stay. You drive on the left in SA (you knew that, right?)... you get used to it. Passport: must still be valid for 6 months with several blank pages... Car rental? A car is pretty much essential, whether for short or long trips. It’s safer too. Aside from the secure Gautrain in Joburg and Cape Town (CT from now on), I don’t take the train. Except for the red bus drop-off/pick-up in CT, I don’t take the bus. In this specific case, it’s practical because you can access all of CT’s spots—including the famous Lion’s Head—without worrying about parking or traffic. These past three years, I’ve chosen Around About Cars as my rental company. I’m very satisfied with them. What kind of car? It depends on what you’re doing and your budget. The vast majority of roads don’t require a special vehicle. In a park, the "high ground clearance" of SUVs lets you see animals better and helps avoid potholes (the SA version—ostrich-sized), speed bumps (our "sleeping policemen" with a big belly), and tackle the last few kilometers or 100 meters that can be a bit rough with complete peace of mind. Do your research. For me, it’s 4x2 or 4x4 depending on... South Africans drive fast... and I feel safer that way. International driver’s permit? Legally required! Never asked for by a rental company, only once by the police—but I stood my ground, confident, and it went smoothly. Road checks? Yes, often—at least two every time, but they’re relaxed... Note that if a police officer wants to give you a fine, it must be done at the police station—insist on going there... they’ll usually drop it. If they suggest paying on the spot in cash to "make things easier"... it’s just for their pocket. There’s a special "police alert" number—remind them of it! The rand is the South African currency. Nowadays, cards work in many places. But note: a car rental company will ask for a credit card, not a debit card. Be careful: cash is no longer accepted in SANparks camps and other places (entrances, etc.)! It’s card only! I always carry some cash. I order it from Yeschange (sounds dodgy, but it’s very reliable). Phew... What an introduction!



Itinéraire au Rwanda en famille en été 2021
by Breizhjane · 2020-05-31 · 31 replies
Bonjour à tous et merci à toutes les personnes qui alimentent les forums qui sont des mines d’informations.

Après avoir mené une 1ère réflexion sur la Namibie (avec un itinéraire assez avancé déjà) je réfléchis également au Rwanda car entre les 2, notre cœur balance 😛.

En effet, nous projetons un voyage en Afrique Australe en juin/juillet l'année prochaine sur environ 14 ou 15 nuits sur place avec nos deux filles (13 et 15 ans), avec location d'une voiture.

Après avoir parcouru le forum, j'ai dressé un 1er itinéraire, et je souhaitais avoir votre avis sur le timing et le trajet entre les différentes étapes. Le but est aussi de prendre notre temps et de ne pas faire un marathon, essayer de s'imprégner du pays, de donner une dimension humaine à ce voyage.

Voilà ma 1ère ébauche : Kigali - 1 nuit Butare - 1 nuit Nyungwe - 2 nuits Kibuye 1 ou 2 nuits ? Gisenyi 1 nuit Musanze ou Kinigi 1 nuit (nous ne nous offrirons pas le permis gorille 😉)

Pour aller à l'Akagera ensuite, faut-il refaire une nuit à Kigali où existe-t-il une étape sympa à faire pour 1 nuit ?

Akagera 2 nuits Kigali 2 nuits pour visites et repos avant de repartir

Merci à l'avance pour vos 1ers conseils afin que je ne fasse pas fausse route !

Avis sur circuit au Botswana
by Rouquine38 · 2020-03-20 · 53 replies
Bonjour à tous,

Voilà en ce temps de confinement, quoi de mieux à faire que de préparer un voyage ?

Après une première expérience, en camping avec tente sur le toit, l’année dernière en Namibie, nous allons récidiver pour un circuit, prévu à l’été 2021 dans les mêmes conditions, au Botswana. Soyons fous !

Je me tourne donc tout naturellement vers la communauté VF afin d’avoir des avis ainsi que des suggestions de votre part sur le circuit envisagé. J’ai mis une arrivée à Gaborone, tout simplement parce que c’est la capitale mais le départ peut avoir lieu d’une autre ville (Maun, Kasane ou Johannesburg).

Je vais solliciter des agences locales pour s’occuper des réservations du véhicule ainsi que des emplacements de camping et des hébergements. L’année dernière, nous étions passés par Tourmaline, nous en avons été très satisfaits mais je ne sais pas s’ils sont bien placés pour le Botswana. Si vous avez des agences locales à me recommander, je suis preneuse.

Voici donc l’itinéraire que je vous soumets :

J1 : Arrivée à Gaborone

J2: Gaborone / Khama Rhino

J3: Khama Rhino / Rakops

J4: Rakops / Deception Valley (Sunday Camp ou Kori Campsite)

J5: Deception Valley (Sunday Camp ou Kori Campsite)

J6: Deception Valley / Khumaga

J7: Khumaga / Planet Baobab

J8: Planet Baobab / Baines Baobab

J9 : Baines Baobab / Maun (Audi Camp)

J10 : Maun (Audi Camp) –Survol hélicoptère delta Okavango

J11: Maun / Xakanaxa ou Third Bridge

J12; Xakanaxa / Khwai

J13: Khwai / Savuti

J14 : Savuti / Kasane (Senyati)

J15 : Kasane (Senyati)

J16 : Kasane (Senyati) – Excursion Victoria Falls avec survol hélicoptère

J17 : Kasane / Nata

J18: Nata / Kubu Island

J19: Kubu Island / Serowe

J20: Serowe / Gaborone

Merci à vous,

Self-drive in southwestern Uganda, February 2020
by Brycs23 · 2020-03-10 · 98 replies
Since I used this forum a lot to prepare our trip, here’s a little feedback from our 15-day self-drive adventure in southwestern Uganda. For those who have questions, don’t hesitate! I’ll do my best to answer them 😉

We’d already traveled quite a bit in South Africa and once in Namibia, always self-driving. When the idea of visiting Uganda came up, we debated—especially me 😛—whether to go solo or with a guide. My husband quickly convinced me to do it self-drive, so I started planning and organizing the trip accordingly. We began preparations and bookings in June 2019 for a trip scheduled during the first two weeks of February 2020. We deliberately chose to explore just a small part of Uganda and take our time. We traveled as a group of four, with our oldest son and his partner.

Here’s our itinerary: - February 1: Departure from Brussels, arrival and overnight in Entebbe - February 2: Drive to Lake Mburo and overnight there - February 3: Drive to Lake Bunyonyi and overnight there - February 4: Boat ride on the lake, then departure for Kisoro. Overnight there - February 5: Trek in Mount Mgahinga National Park for the youngsters. Overnight in Kisoro - February 6: Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Overnight in Rushaga - February 7: Gorilla tracking in Rushaga. Overnight in Rushaga - February 8: Drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park – Southern sector – Overnight on the park’s edge - February 9: Morning in the southern sector of the park, then crossing to the northern part – Short safari in the late afternoon – Overnight by the Kazinga Channel - February 10: Safari and boat cruise – Second night on site - February 11: Drive to Kibale Forest – Overnight there - February 12: Chimpanzee tracking in the morning – Bigodi swamps in the afternoon – Second night there - February 13: Scenic drive to see the crater lakes + walk at Lake Nkuruba Nature Reserve – Third night there - February 14: Return to Entebbe - February 15: Morning boat ride in the Mabamba swamps – Afternoon by Lake Victoria and midnight flight to Brussels. That’s the broad outline of our trip.

We fell in love with this country: the people, the kids shouting "muzungu," the colors, the landscapes, the wildlife... But we were also saddened by the poverty in some villages and the child labor, especially in "quarries."

I’ll try to post a day-by-day account if it interests anyone.

Le Mozambique est-il sûr pour deux femmes?
by Claireeee · 2020-01-15 · 15 replies
Bonjour,

J'aimerais savoir si le Mozambique est une destination sûre pour deux femmes ? Et si oui, à quel degré: peut-on sortir le soir par exemple ? Ou conduire après la tombé de la nuit ? Peut-on être seules sur les routes en self-drive ?

Mon amie et moi nous sommes senties en parfaite sécurité en Namibie; la question de la sécurité ne s'est pas spécialement posée au Kenya (mais à l'époque j'étais plus insouciante !); par contre je reviens d'un voyage avec mon mari au Cap et dans le petit Karoo où je ne me suis pas sentie à l'aise.

Ce qui m'amène à ma seconde question: l'idéal pour un self-drive au Mozambique est de louer une voiture à Johannesburg je crois, ce qui est parfait puisque j'aimerais visiter le parc Kruger sur le chemin. Mais impossible de m'imaginer à deux femmes seules à Johannesburg... Est-ce que que quelqu'un aurait une idée qui solutionne ce problème par hasard ? :)

Merci pour votre aide, Claire
Itinéraire état des routes, et trajets de Luang Prabang à Paksé en voiture
by Giletsandr · 2020-01-07 · 3 replies
Nous serons au Laos de mi-juillet à mi-août. Nous avons l'habitude de louer une voiture et de conduire à l'étranger (Indonésie, Bali, Thaïlande, Namibie, Botswana, Mexique, Guatemala...) mais pour ce voyage-ci, nous ne trouvons que très peu d'informations sur la conduite au Laos (mis à part que c'est dangereux et qu'un chauffeur c'est mieux ;O). Nous souhaiterions savoir à quoi ressemble l'itinéraire Luang Prabang-Pakse en voiture : état des routes, type de routes, endroit où dormir sur le trajet, possibilité de faire le plein d'essence et surtout y a-t-il un intérêt à le faire (vie villageoise, paysages...).

Merci à ceux qui ont expérimenté ce trajet en voiture de m'orienter.
Safari dix jours à Blyde Canyon et au parc Kruger
by LauraJones · 2019-09-09 · 14 replies
Hello à tous,

nous envisageons un safari en mode assez "luxe" en Afrique du Sud en septembre/octobre prochain 2020

tout d'abord, selon vous, votre expérience, est ce une bonne période ?

Nous aurons visiter la Namibie en juillet, mais sommes très attirés par le côté safari en ce moment.

nous envisagons d'attérir à Johansbourg, de passer 3 nuits dans la région de Blyde canyon ( je crois que la route y menant est sympa, cascades, grotte à visiter ?! ), nous aimerions aussi y faire qq randos si possible?!

puis 2 nuits dans le parc kruger ( ou 3 ! )

et enfin 2 nuits dans la réserve privé de Sabi ( ou 3 ! ).

je ne voulais pas trop me précipiter, mais en budgettant mon projet, je m'aperçois qu'il y a DEJA très peu de place dans la réserve privée de Sabi, et que si nous osuhaitons y dormir il faudrait réserver dès maintenant ...

du coup, avez vous eu la chance d'y être allés? que pensez vous du choix de notre itinéraire ? serons nous déçus par rapport à Etosha en juillet ?

j'espère vous lire,

bonne journée
