LANGUAGE

There is no need for language guides or language courses. English should generally bring you anywhere in Africa. Locals are used to tourism and embrace the additional income potential for their country, and you should not find it hard to communicate in English.  “Please” and “thank you” are certainly do-able. What feels awkward and intimidating to you will seem charming and sweet to shopkeepers, hoteliers, and other business people. We live in a country that’s rich in diversity and culture!
