Accomodation Forum

The basic idea of travelcomments.com was to create a comments-based travel guide through Southern Africa. Based on the experiences of backpackers and individual travellers it should be an alternative to the "established" guide books.

The accommodation section on travelcomments.com offers you the tra:guide hostel list of Southern Africa and a forum where you can write and read comments and reviews about the hostels, camp sites and B&Bs you want to go to or where you have just been.
It' all about sharing experiences.

Trips & Tours Forum

Organised Daytrips, aswell as organised Overlanding Tours, throughout Southern Africa became very popular for backpackers in the last couple of years.
Both are normally organised very well and almost all of them are assuring a good trip.
But there are loads of different companies doing daytrips and overland tours. And which one is the best company for take? Which schedule is the best? Which is worth its price and which not?
Leave your marks and help other travellers to choose the best daytrip and overland tour.
