Accessibility in the world / AFRICA

Just my travel impression. Different big cities and villages. Not so seriously. Please read easygoing.

Djibouti 2001	I saw more than 10 wheelchair for 2 days stay. I was surprised at many wheelchair. Toilet at airport had 2 steps, so I could not use it. Also no accessible toilet. Boarding on and off, airport workers helped. No equipment. Road was bumpy. Not easy to walk by wheelchair. Western toilet are very rare. I think no accessible toilet in Djibouti.
Egypt 2000	Many ramp and accessible equipment at tourist place. Viva ! world tourist country ! Consideration about accessibility in tourist area. No problem to travel by wheelchair. For sightseeing, Chartered taxi is useful, but so tough to negotiate the price. Keep fighting. Intercity bus are no accessible, but kind Egyptian would help. People are kind. No discrimination for disabled. I saw many people with disability in town. More western toilet compare with other Arabic countries. Accessible toilet was only seen at airport.
Kenya 2006	Just short stay for transit. No idea of accessibility. I guess no accessible toilet and equipment. Western toilet at tourist place. Use it. Shared taxi is main traffic.
Lesotho 2005	Black people country surrounded by South Africa. Mountain country. It is not good to move around by wheelchair. Some curb cut and ramp. Little accessible. I saw some wheelchair person in town. Not too bad.
Madagascar 2006	Completely no accessibility, but people are so kind. No problem to travel except toilet problem. Only western toilet at hotel. Country side nature is toilet. I have never seen accessible toilet. Central high land cities are hilly. Not easy to move around by wheelchair. Taxi Brouuse, about 12 person shared mini ban, is main traffic. Keep a side seat.
Morocco 2005	I saw some wheelchair person in town. Living all together is natural scene. Casablanca airport is accessible. Toilet, bride and guide service. Train imported from France had a big step. No workers help. Western toilet existed at tourist place. The road in old city is bumpy.
Namibia 2004, 2006	My best country for tourism. Feel the nature ! Severe natural environment. Few population. Peaceful country. Economy, Currency, food, product, everything are influenced by South Africa include accessibility. Some curb cut and ramp in town. Accessible room at big hotel. Not so many accessible toilet, but all the toilet are large. No problem to use by wheelchair. Problem is public transportation. Rental car is the best for tourist.
South Africa 2004, 2006	Well developed accessibility. I was surprised each hotel has accessible rooms and non-step landscape in town. It is great ! White people do not use public transportation. They use their own car or rental car by travel. Rental car company can put on a hand control for paralysis drivers. Good high way network. Only Black people use local bus. Poor area road are not paved. Quit different White people residence area and Black people residence area.
Swaziland 2005	Black people kingdom country surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. Economy is dominated by South Africa. Some accessibility. Curb cut and ramp in town. I have never seen accessible toilet, but each western toilet is large. No problem. Many town are hilly.
Tanzania 2006	Tourism resource rich country. Developing now. It was so tough to get in domestic light airplane for paralysis. Shared mini ban and taxi are main traffic. Western toilet at tourist place. Local toilet is not western style. I saw some bicycle type wheelchair in town.
Tunisia 1995	My toughest travel country. First time cultural shock. No discrimination and no protection against people with disability. It is fair. I feel Islam has no racism. The difference of looking and shape is not important for Muslim. Inside heart is more important. No accessibility and no equipment, but people's eye were very natural. Free to go around by wheelchair.
