I'm looking to backpack eastern and southern Africa starting June 2013 for about 3 months. I'd like to fly to Addis, then work my way south to Cape Town zigzagging along the way.
What do I need to do as far as pre-trip planning? Visas, vaccinations, equipment, budgeting, accessing money on the road, etc? I would very much appreciate if you could refer me to someone with experience in this part of the world. Thanks a lot!
