The Millennium Cometh: By Yves Stranger. From Impressions Magazine (British Airways). According to the Julian calendar, Ethiopia hits the year 2000 this September - the perfect time to reflect on the country's history. The dreadlocked musicians greeting each other in a thatched wattle and-daub hut in Shashemene, southern Ethiopia, have no doubts about the color of the future, and the green, yellow and red Ethiopian flag flapping gaily in the wind above the hut echoes the colors of the clothes they wear. The millennium is coming to Africa, and his majesty is riding high, like a lion, in Zion: "Jah Rastafari! Hail to his majesty Haile Selassie. Hail to Ethiopia and 2,000 years of history! More-> .

Berber Wedding Fair at Imilchil
By Muguette Goufrani. My father, who operated a tour company in Casablanca, Morocco and France for many years, took me along with a German tour group to visit a traditional "Wedding Fair" at Hadiddou Imilchil, a Berber village in southern Morocco. While I knew that many Berber Fairs combine a local Saint's Day with a regional market event, only at September's 'moussem' (pilgrimage) of Imilchil, have I seen such a colorful pageant, with instant engagement, and a mass exchange of marriage vows.

Great Botanical Gardens of Limbe, Cameroon
By Jerry W. Bird. During the ATA Eco Cultural Tour of Cameroon in West Central Africa, we were captivated by the Limbe Botanical Gardens, whose trees and shrubs contain many of the health giving and curative products known to mankind. Here is what Cameroon's Ministry of Tourism has to say:. "Created in 1892 by German horticulturists to acclimatize economic and medicinal plants such as quinine, coffee, rubber, cocoa and banana, the botanic garden in Limbe also serves as a training center for Cameroonians in the field of agriculture, horticulture and forestry.

Djerba, Tunisia's Island of Forgetfulness
By Habeeb Salloum. No different from Ulysses, who some authors have described as Djerba's first tourist, a traveler will find the people of this Tunisian isle friendly and hospitable. From the first day of a visit, the delightful charms of Djerba (also spelled Jerba) will hold most travelers spellbound. Why this island, which travelers have labeled, 'Isle of Forgetfulness', holds visitors under its spell, is virtually unexplainable. A great many attribute it to its magic halo - a combination of a clear-blue sky, shining white houses, clean and well-kept towns, tree-covered countryside and warm, yet not too hot climate. Whatever the case, a good number of travelers go into raptures when describing this island - made famous by Ulysses. Photo: Villas amongst the palms, Djerba More->

Fly to Africa from Atlantic or Pacific
Quick Now! When you think of Africa, do you visualize a luxury tented camp near Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do you see an Orient-Express class railway coach sailing through a grassy sea? Is a world class UN Convention Center and 90 foreign embassies your idea of Addis Ababa? Believe it! The state of the art facilities in hotels, resorts, lodges, and meeting places for tourists and business visitors in many African countries shatters the myths and blows away most preconceived notions.

Pioneer Aviators Inspired Today's Long Haul Flights . By Jerry W. Bird.

I am Abuja, Nigeria . By Jerry W. Bird...
I am Abuja, federal capital of Nigeria since 1991. I am located in the heart of Africa's most populous country, and confident about my future as a world center and magnet for cultural, adventure, educational and leisure tourism in the magical lands of Nigeria beyond my borders. My broad, well maintained paved streets, attractively landscaped boulevards and modern overpasses keep the traffic flowing at a smooth pace, morning, noon and night - and with wide cinemascopic vistas in every direction, there's no feeling of being hemmed in by gridlock.
