    Africa, birthplace of humanity, Kilimanjaro, Victoria Falls, the Serengeti, and that Lion is not in a cage!

    It's a much tougher climb then most people realise, some don't make it to the top, we are going there next August, I'll let you know how we get on!

    I like excitement and strange places.

    And if we had 6 I would have added Machu Pichu, too.

    We were asked by our guide not to climb it, as it is scared ground. I decided instead to go on a dawn walk around its base. It took 4 hours and was a fantastic experience.

    Debtee whatever you do dont miss Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), which for me was even more impressive than Uluru.
