Would you rather go to ETHIOPIA or SENEGAL or MADAGASCAR? Why or why not?

For me, all three.

Ethiopia as it seems so different and unique from everywhere else in Africa. The facial features and appearance of Ethiopians is exotic. The culture is ancient, and interesting.

Madagascar, has the Indonesian mixed with African which is interesting. Completely unique plants and animals that don't exist anywhere else. Another very unusual place.

Senegal perhaps because it respresents much of what Africa is kind of like. Plus, a popular tourist attraction, etc.

If I had to choose one, probably Ethiopia, but Senegal would be very close in 2nd, and Madagascar immediately after that.

How about you? Which one? Why? Why not the others?

I voted for Madagascar, but I would like to visit Ethiopia too.

I saw a BBC documentary about Madagascar's natural beauties on Brazilian TV a few weeks ago, and they are breathtaking!

The documentary was this one:




I wonder if the animation movie "Madagascar" helped to increase tourism in Madagascar... I hope so...

I would also like to visit Ethiopia, because of their ancient and original culture.

Other places that I would like to visit in Africa are: Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Cape Verde, Algeria and Tunisia.

This is something that you probably WON'T see in the real Madagascar:






But you will see this:

Senegal for me, probably, but I'm interested in all three. I love west african and senegalese music and food, so I figure it'd be a pretty good fit.

1.Madagascar
2.Ethiopia

I don't go to non-European countries where more than 50% of the population is Muslim so Senegal is not a option for me.

I would rather go to Madagascar than Ethiopia just because i think it's a lot safer well it doesn't border with 2 of the most dangerous countries in the world, Sudan & Somalia.

I'd rather visit MADAGASCAR. It's an island I've always been interested in, not so much the other 2

I'm very interested in ancient cultures and history and Ethiopia is one of the most outstanding and unique countries in Africa, and the whole world, in this regard.

I'm not as interested in Madagascar (beautiful as I'm aware it is), but it would be very nice to go for a hiking trip.

Senegal: not for me.

I voted for Ethiopia simply because it has a lot of history.

From sites of the oldest ancestors of mankind to some of the oldest forms of Judaism and Christianity in the world, not to mention the women!!!

I've often heard that Addis Ababa is one of the 'safest' capitals on the African continent....

Well, Addis and Asmara (Eritrea's Capital)...which is basically the same kinds of people - Eritreans and Ethiopians.

You mean African continent right?
Safer than Rabat, Tunis, Accra, Windhoek and Kaapstad?
I heard those are the most safest cities in Africa.
