If you are looking for adventure, I would go straight to India or South Africa. It would be even more fun with current travel restrictions due to high Delta variant cases.
I'd do South Africa, I don't think one can even get in to India right now. I'm assuming OP is vaccinated so they shouldn't have any issues going to NBO.
