We have updated our top ten list of the most popular destinations to visit in Southern and East Africa, the results compiled from expert sources and Instagram hashtags. In the 12 months since the original data was made available, there have been some significant changes – Uganda taking the top slot from South Africa and Mozambique moving from tenth to third place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With\u00a0Instagram\u00a0racking up 1 million users in June 2018, its growth outperforming Facebook and Snapchat, the photo-sharing app is clearly well on its way to becoming the most authentic travel brochure in the world.\u00a0Its power for inspiring our wanderlust has been proven time and again, making\u00a0Instagram\u00a0a reliable source of information for destinations which are trending.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The cost of trekking the endangered mountain gorilla in Uganda is still half that of neighbouring Rwanda, and while the price differential might well have drawn more people to visit the country over 2018, we feel our growing concern with over-tourism and eagerness to see places which are less well visited, (or where tourist numbers are more strictly monitored to protect the environment, in this case, the gorillas habitat), as the reason behind Uganda\u2019s rise to fame.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mountain gorillas in East and Central Africa were taken off the \u2018critically endangered\u2019 species list after\u00a0last year\u2019s census, with the total number of mountain gorillas (living in the Virunga Mountains and Uganda\u2019s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park) now believed to be above 1,000 individuals. In the earlier part of the year there was an exciting baby boom at Bwindi, and in late 2018, Uganda Tourism announced the successful habituation of three new gorilla families and the addition of more permits: 19 gorilla families now available for trekking and the total number of trekking permits standing at 152 per day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Year-round departures.<\/p>\n

A country where caring for the environment takes precedence over tourism, Mozambique isn\u2019t such a wild card when you consider how much more knowledgeable and informed we are about eco-tourism, as ultimately, those concerns tend to inform our travel plans.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In late 2017, as part of an eco-overhaul, the conservation NGO, African Parks (which manages more than a dozen protected areas in eight other countries on the continent), signed an agreement to take over the management of the Bazaruto National Park for 25 years, the emphasis on creating a conservation-led economy where eco-initiatives benefit local communities.\u00a0The government set aside the 1,430 square kilometre reserve in 1971, Bazaruto a critical sanctuary for numerous species of marine megafauna including dolphins, sharks, whales, whale sharks, manta rays and turtles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our research<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Our search for independent and expert sources (Expert predictions\/Best African countries to visit) on the \u2018best travel and safari destinations in Africa\u2019 revealed 16 countries in East and Southern Africa, from which we selected the top ten most frequently mentioned countries. The two most frequently mentioned locations corresponding to each of these top ten destinations were then searched for on\u00a0Instagram\u00a0(Instagram\u00a0data for “Best countries to visit in East & Southern Africa) revealing the number of times the hashtag was used worldwide, and allowing each country\u2019s hashtag total to be ranked from one (most popular) to ten. From this we compiled our list of the \u2018best travel and safari destinations to visit in East & Southern Africa as polled by\u00a0Instagram. In the revised 2019 list, we calculated the percentage increase based on the same hashtags used in the original data.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
