THing is, in the iffy parts of Africa, the value of life is very little. Murder is not that shocking or big a deal, life is cheap. Its the one place I have been to, where I have been in genuine fear of my life. This was in Durban. Took a wrong turn and got chased by a gang, on foot. Gangs of blokes at every traffic light, where you can't stop for fear of car jacking, cab drivers with guns, mace, clubs, flame throwers. Gun fire going off 24 7. Nah, fk that.As a white business man in parts of Africa, you may as well have a big placard on your head that says" I've got money, come and get me".
Having said all that (!!) if you are working for a corporate, you will have all the necessary protection and security. I own my business, and we are small, so we sort it all ourselves, or the client does.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
We're only a small company but the boss only has eyes for Africa and its riches atm. Needless to say there will be zero protection. Kidnap is definitely a worry, you can get sold to all sort of unfriendly people at the moment.
I'd love to hear about the experience there...these are the countries I am likely to go to along with Rwanda.
I tihnk 10% had hallucinations or other dramatic symptoms, it's quite a serious issue
Wow, you really upset someone.
There are different drugs. I used Malarone which has less side effects but is more expensive than some of the others. One of the possible side effects of the cheaper ones was nausea, and given that nausea can be an issue at altitude it seemed more sensible to use Malarone when climbing Kilimanjaro. Thankfully I did not have problems with altitude sickness.
Not literally, although my wife always says if I was ever to be a Monarch I would be known as "King Oli the Bastard".
How did the trip go?
