Africa Vacation Rentals
From Cape Horn to Victoria Falls, Africa is a rush. Whether you're tracking lions through famous Kruger Park or canoeing the hippo-filled Zambezi, you're sure to get your share of wildlife and adventure. And when you stop to take a breath, you'll find unrivaled scenery: the jagged peaks of the Drakensberg mountains and the lushness of the Okavango Delta stand out as some of the world's most spectacular places. All this and much more awaits you in Africa. Get packing. Our Africa Vacation Rentals also include accommodations from Africa home rentals, villas, oceanfront estates and cottages. Each property has descriptions, photos and contact information for the individual property owners or managers. Kakum National Park is an island of tropical rainforest in a sea of agricultural lands ó an isolated fragment of what was once a continuous belt of rainforest extending from Guinea through Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote d'Ivoire to Ghana. Degraded by mining, farming, and settlement, and combed by hunters and timber extractors, Kakum now covers less than 140 square miles, but it provides one of the last remaining habitats for six globally-endangered species, including Diana monkeys, bongos, yellow-backed duikers, and forest elephants. Exploring the forest with a local guide enhances your experience. Local knowledge of the forest is extensive, as its resources have been fulfilling people's spiritual, medicinal and subsistence needs for centuries. Guides help you identify animal prints found in the mud, and may explain how distinct marks on a tree resulted from a forest elephant scratching its back, or how the juicy contents missing from a fruit casing were a monkey's breakfast. The local culture adds another facet to the forest experience through myths, stories, and practices. Among these practices is a revived traditional artform know as the bamboo orchestra, which local residents of the Masomagor community perform for your enjoyment. To the beating of the drum, the orchestra illustrates stories through an elaborate dance. Search for your Africa lodging by area, view, bedrooms, rate or availability.
