Trajet Ouagadougou (Burkina) jusqu'à Athiémé (Bénin) English translation pending
Bonjour à tous !
Selon vos expériences, que me conseillez-vous pour faire le trajet Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) - Athiémé (sud ouest du bénin) ? Je serais seule pour faire ce trajet, et j'ai un peu de temps.
Merci d'avance, Mélanie
Au fait, est-ce que la saison des pluies au Burkina nécessite que j'emporte un poncho (cape de pluie) sachant que je n'ai pas peur de l'eau :-) En fait quelle est "l'intensité" de ces pluies ?

Prix des mini séjours organisés en Australie English translation pending
oucou,
Ca y est, nous aussi on part en Australie en Avril. J'ai pls questions pour ceux qui y sont déjà allés :
Combien coûte à peu près les mini séjours organisés : 2-3 jours dans le centre rouge au départ d'Alice Springs, 2-3 jours dans le top end avec le parc de Kakadu, 2-3 jours de Cairns vers Cape tribulation, 2-3 jours à Fraser island ? Je voudrais savoir si les organismes qui me proposent ces séjours sur internet ont des prix interessants et si j'ai interet à les prendre tout de suite.
Autre question : Quelle est le meilleur endroit pour aller sur la barrière de corail ? Cairns ?
Et pour finir, j'hésite à aller dans le top end et à faire le parc de Kakadu? Qu'en pensez vous ? C'est vraiment très bien et dépaysant ? Est ce que si je vais une excursion à Cape tribulation et dans la foret humide près de Cairns, ça va se ressembler? Et j'hésite aussi à faire les whitsunday islands ET Fraser island. Ca va se ressembler ? On choisit l'un des deux ? Merci beaucoup de votre aide, Fanny

Vêtement vélo - pluie, vent, froid, chaud... English translation pending

Cape region itinerary in July
Hi,
We’re looking at heading to South Africa this summer (early July) with our two kids (6 & 10 years old). Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary so far. What do you think? Is it better to skip Addo? (We can’t add any more days...). If so, should we spend more time on certain stops or add something else? (Cederberg?) Thanks in advance, Bruno

Optimizing routes for a central and southeastern Kyushu itinerary
Hello,
I’m reaching out for your help because I’m struggling to figure out the best train and car route for a 25-night trip in Kyushu. Here are the cities I’d like to visit, along with my current itinerary, which doesn’t feel quite right. I’m also wondering where the best places to pick up and drop off the rental car would be. International flights from Osaka + the SL Hitoyoshi train ride are part of the plan.
Current (unsatisfactory) draft itinerary I’m trying to optimize: Day 1: Arrival in Osaka Day 2-3: 2 nights in Osaka Day 4: Osaka to Izumi (Kagoshima Prefecture) via overnight train to Izumi Day 5: Full day in Izumi, overnight in Izumi Day 6: Izumi to Hitoyoshi, stopping via Kumamoto (SL Hitoyoshi train) Day 7: Hitoyoshi Day 8: Ebino + overnight in Kobayashi or Takaharu Day 9: Cape Toi + overnight Day 10: Koshima + overnight near Obi or Miyazaki? Day 11: Nichinan Coast / Obi / Udo Jingu / Aoshima Day 12: Miyazaki Day 13: Aya + overnight in Miyazaki Day 14: Hyuga + overnight in Nobeoka Day 15: Around Nobeoka + overnight in Nobeoka Day 16: Shiiba + overnight in Shiiba Day 17: Shiiba + drive to Yamaga + overnight Day 18: Yamaga Day 19: Yamaga Day 20-22: Amakusa Day 23: Kumamoto Day 24: Kumamoto + overnight in Osaka Day 25: Departure for France
Does this seem balanced? Are there any ways to optimize travel times or the logical flow of the route? Where should I pick up and drop off the rental car?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me think this through!

Your tips for choosing a good car rental company and traveling safely in April 2026
I live in Laval, Canada
I’m looking for more info on renting a car to travel from Durban to Saint Lucia and Hluhluwe Park in April 2026. Which car rental company has no hidden fees, unlimited kilometers, and insurance coverage that includes everything, like toll booths? Automatic transmission, SUV. Should I book in advance for early April 2026?
After Durban, I’d fly from Durban to Port Elizabeth. From there, I’d rent a car to visit all the magical spots near the Garden Route and return the car in Cape Town.
I’d love your honest opinions on the safety of these routes and your recommendations for a reliable, trustworthy dealership.
Thanks in advance Sylvie (Laval, Québec, Canada) 68 years old

First trip to South Africa: travel report and planning
Hi everyone,
After using this forum a lot to plan several trips, I’m finally writing my own travel journal about South Africa, a trip that took place from May 14 to 31, 2025. I hope to inspire but mostly to share info and details for those like me who need to plan their trip as precisely as possible to make the most of it once there.
This is our first trip to Africa outside the Maghreb for my wife and me. What follows is, of course, just my opinion and very subjective. You’ll easily understand that my goal isn’t to debate my choice of destinations or activities since everyone has their own travel style and beliefs. I just want to share. Thanks in advance.
We booked our tickets with Emirates for the routes: Lyon-Dubai, Dubai-Johannesburg on the way out. For the return, it was Cape Town-Dubai, Dubai-Lyon. The tickets cost us 1400 € for two, booked in December. I monitored prices for several weeks, and they didn’t tend to drop. I think I got the flight tickets at the right time because alerts I set on different sites showed prices only going up.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival at Johannesburg airport, pick up the rental car, and head to Hartbeespoort (northwest of Pretoria): overnight in Hartbeespoort. Day 2: Visit the Elephant Sanctuary + Monkey Sanctuary + cableway: overnight in Hartbeespoort. Day 3: Head to Ukutula, visit the site. Day 4: Head to Kruger Park, transition day: overnight in Dullstroom. Day 5: Head to Blyde River Canyon, visit the viewpoints (more details in the journal later): overnight in Graskop. Day 6: Hike the Leopard Trail (Blyde River Canyon) then return to Kruger Park: overnight at Pretoriuskop rest camp. Days 7 & 8: Visit Kruger Park: overnights at Lower Sabie rest camp. Days 9 & 10: Visit Kruger Park: overnights at Berg-En-Dal rest camp. Day 11: Visit Kruger Park: overnight in Malelane. Day 12: Domestic flight to Cape Town: overnight in Cape Town (Mouille Point neighborhood). Days 13 to 17: Visit Cape Town and its surroundings (more details in the journal later): overnight in Cape Town (Mouille Point neighborhood).
Before describing our trip in more detail, here’s some practical info about the stay:
For internet, I got Bouygues Telecom’s travel pass for 35 € on top of my regular plan with them. It worked well except in Kruger. Otherwise, I hardly had any network coverage issues. For all accommodations and car rentals, I used Booking.com. No bad surprises.

Temperatures in South Africa in August
Hi there,
We’re heading to South Africa in August, with a basic itinerary: Johannesburg, Kruger Park, and finishing up in Cape Town. My question—I know it’s winter there—what are the temperatures like? How should we dress? Thanks for your tips!

Renting a car with Aroundaboutcars in Johannesburg
Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum—
I’m looking for reviews on the rental company Aroundaboutcars. I know they don’t have their own fleet at Johannesburg Airport and work with other rental companies. Can anyone tell me if they’re reliable and professional? (I’ve seen great feedback for Cape Town, where they have their own fleet, but no info on their services in Johannesburg.) Thanks in advance!

Newfoundland - Hikes in the Avalon Peninsula
The Avalon Peninsula, located in the southeast of Newfoundland Island, isn't just a picturesque place—it's also teeming with natural wonders: icebergs, whales, migratory seabirds, and wild caribou.
It was the first region of the province to be settled. Moreover, it's rich in legends, traditions, and the history of the early adventurers who conquered the New World.
St. John's, the capital, is one of the oldest and easternmost cities in North America. With its colorful houses nestled in the heart of steep rocky hills, it has the traditional charm of a small port town.
Below are the hikes we did in this region. A link is attached to each hike to give you quicker access to the relevant information.

Feedback on 3-week South Africa itinerary
Hello everyone!
We’re heading to South Africa this summer (August 11 to September 1) and I’m finalizing our itinerary.
I’d love to get your thoughts on our route and specifically on two points:
- The time spent at each stop: does any seem too short or too long?
- The domestic flights: do you think they’re a good choice? (Flight from Kruger to Durban + Durban to Port Elizabeth) We’ll rent a car each time we land. Or is it better to do the whole trip by car?
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to take a look!
Have a great day! !
Feedback on 2-week road-trip itinerary in Nova Scotia
Hi there,
Our son is in Canada for a year on a Working Holiday Visa, and we’re planning to join him around September 20th for a 15-day campervan road trip in Nova Scotia.
I was thinking of going with Canadream, but if you have other rental companies to recommend, don’t hesitate!
Here’s the itinerary I’ve been considering—I tried not to cram in too many stops so we’re not just driving the whole time.
Day 1: Pick up campervan in Halifax at 3 PM. Stop at Peggy’s Cove, then drive to Lunenburg and Blue Rocks (151 km) Day 2: Explore Lunenburg, then head to Kejimkujik National Park for hikes or other activities. Overnight in the park (91 km) Day 3: Drive to Annapolis Royal (visit), Port-Royal National Historic Site, then on to Digby (111 km) Day 4: Ferry to Saint John (visit Reversing Falls), then drive to St. Andrews (103 km) Day 5: Whale-watching excursion and explore St. Andrews Day 6: Drive to Alma and Fundy National Park (233 km—we’ll probably leave St. Andrews the night before to split the drive and arrive earlier in Alma) Day 7: Hopewell Rocks (check tides) (43 km) Day 8: Hopewell Rocks—Tatamagouche (dinner train)—Pictou (237 km). Any suggestions for this day? Day 9: Drive to Baddeck, Cabot Trail to Chéticamp (317 km). Ideas for breaking up the drive? I thought of Pomquet Beach Provincial Park for a walk on the boardwalks, but any other suggestions are welcome. Day 10–11: Cape Breton Highlands National Park for hikes and Cabot Trail to Baddeck (208 km) Day 12: Explore Baddeck, Graham Bell Museum, and Bras d’Or Lake Drive. Drive to Louisbourg (118 km) Day 13: Fortress of Louisbourg, then drive to Liscomb (302 km) Day 14: Drive back to Halifax via Lawrencetown Beach (or other suggestions?). Fisherman’s Cove (205 km) Day 15: Return campervan by 10 AM
- All suggestions are welcome, as long as they don’t add too much detour from the main stops. We’d rather skip some places to fully enjoy the ones we visit. We love hiking in beautiful landscapes, charming and lively towns or villages, etc. - I wanted to add a museum dedicated to Acadian culture, but I didn’t find anything along the route—or they’re closed this time of year. Maybe there are places to listen to folk music? - If you have any campgrounds or wild camping spots to recommend, I’d love to hear about them. - Do we need to book the ferry this time of year?
Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions!

Authentic travel on a small budget in Southern Africa
Hi everyone, I’m thinking of heading to Southern Africa next autumn for several months.
I’d love some advice on my itinerary—I’m looking for authentic spots with cheap accommodation.
I know Southern Africa is generally pricier than Asia or Latin America because of the lack of backpacker infrastructure (except maybe Cape Town).
I’m planning to visit South Africa, Mozambique, Lesotho, and maybe Eswatini.
My main goal in South Africa is to see the coexistence between white, mixed-race, and Black communities.
I think I’ll skip Namibia and Botswana because of the cost of living.
Thanks
January trip plan - Cape Town area & Garden Route
Hi there,
We did a trip to South Africa in August 2023 and at the time, we regretted not being able to make the most of the Cape Town area because of the weather.
So we’re thinking of going back during the right season in early 2026 for 2 weeks, but I’m struggling a bit to plan the itinerary.
We’d like to spend a few days on safari, but options are somewhat limited in this (large) geographic area since it’s not the right season for KTP, and Addo Elephant Park doesn’t seem like the best choice. Are there any interesting private reserves in this area?
Otherwise, we’re considering starting with a few days in Madikwe from Johannesburg, then about ten days from Cape Town.
For those 10 days, do you have any suggestions that go beyond the classic Garden Route? We’ve heard good things about the Cederberg, but after that, I’m struggling to put together something coherent.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Shipping a 4x4 to Durban from Réunion Island
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

Seeing great white sharks in South Africa
Hi there,
We’re heading to South Africa for a two-week vacation next March.
We’d love to see great white sharks and maybe even try the cage diving. We’re planning to go to Gansbaai—do you think we’ll have a chance to see them? Also, do you know of any specialized agencies that aren’t too commercial and are respectful of the animals?
Thanks
