A safari alternative
If you're like me, you'd love to go to Africa. You also wonder why it costs such a fortune to visit the poorest continent. Well Safari's are very expensive, but why not try something different?
A friend of mine spent two months in Ghana one summer, living in a village and taking zylophone lessons for $25/week. Before you dismiss the idea, consider what Lonely Planet has to say about how friendly people in Ghana are. Also, English is spoken by many people.
Now I'm not sure exactly how one finds long term accomodation in Ghana. I imagaine that you get a hotel room, and then ask around until you find something. In Italy, the real estate agents sometimes have furnished accomodation which can be rented monthly.
