I am interested in learning more about Africa, pre-colonial to post colonial including the current situation, and I picked up a text book at the local Univ but rather than just read it in my off time I would like to study Africa in Africa. I know that I would like to visit Ghana and other countries but that aside I would like it to be part of an organized program, hopefully with a work-study option so as not to run up a huge debt to pay for it. does anyone know of such a program? any suggestions?

also, is it possible to take a boat all the way uo the Congo river? i heard that it was. any info on this?

If you have several months free and loads of patience, yes, it may be possible to take a boat all the way on the Congo river. Studying in Congo? Infrastructure is bad, real bad. Availability of books is very limited.

this guy tried it and eventually had to give up... not as easy as it appears.
