Top 5 awkward things you shouldn't do when you visit Africa

Connecting Africa or Africans to animals 

The love for connecting the second largest continent by landmass and population to animals has a deep colonial history and is highly insensitive to the traumatic past of portraying Africa as a jungle or its people as uncivilized monkeys. Sure, share your pictures on reserves or zoos in the African country you visit but be sure to also share that this is not all there is to the country you are visiting.
