Larry Kingman

Anyone have tips on where a single US person might feel comfortable
living permanently in Africa? I'm thinking somewhere in N. Africa or
Namibia to keep out of the rain, but would like some advice in order to
avoid incurring great expense in 'scoping out the area. Would like to
have some prior knowledge so as not to experience again the expense,
discomfort, and disappointment which I felt on a recent trip to Western
Australia for scouting purposes.

I do have to have some concern about cost of liviing and think of a
small dwelling or caravan in a semi-rural area as best possibles.

Some decades ago I lived for a couple of years in Uganda and remember
Jinja, Mubende, Ft. Portal nostalgically, but doubt that, even rain
aside, they'd be possible living sites today.

I'd be grateful to receive any information offered.

Larry,

South Africa perhaps? It offers a good mix of civilization and
wilderness.

Hello Larry,

my wife and I emigrated 26 january this year to South-Africa. We settled
down in the Lowveld, and live in a private nature reserve (see:
www.amukela.com).
We started a lodge (exclusive, not a big lodge) and enjoy the bush and the
climate.
South-Africa has a lot a national parks, nature reserves and a good
infrastructure. And with DSTV (satelite tv) you don't miss a thing.

Regards,
Corné.

I lived in South Africa for 1 year. in Nelspruit. I was working for a
Canadian Company and found it great. It has big cities and great wilderness
and outdoors. Two worlds in one.
