Using these 5 categories:

1 Geography/scenery: South America. The Andes, Amazon and Patagonia are unbelievable. Africa lacks in mountains a bit and the Congo isn't as impressive.

2. Fauna: I'd have to go with Africa for the savanna.

3. Culture: Africa for the greater variety of cultures while S.American culture is more homogeneous.

4. Cities: South America has bigger/more interesting cities.

5. Safety/Comfort: Both aren't the safest destinations, and both have generally high crime rates, but I believe disease (and getting eaten by a lion, croc or chomped by a hippo, lol jk) is slightly more of a problem in Africa so I'll go South America.


In conclusion, South America by a bit, but I plan to visit both. Africa interests me more in terms of anthropology, though I find the South American landscape more beautiful.

Brazil alone > Africa

I'm open for visiting every South American country except French Guiana, my favorites in order-

Brazil
Argentina
Colombia
Chile, Peru
Uruguay

Venezuela
Paraguay
Suriname
Guyana

So far i've only been to Colombia (Cartagena), really want to visit Brazil (Sao Paulo+Rio) and Argentina (B.A.).


South Africa and Egypt are the only African countries i want to visit in my life.
