We love a good story from the country of Africa! Sorry, that was ironic.  (If you haven’t already, you just have to check out the Barbie Savior – The Doll that Saved Africa Instagram page.) Joking apart, my co-host, ExpatPartnerSurvival.com based in Pretoria, South Africa and I we thought this would be a great way to meet other bloggers on the continent and find out a bit more about what life is like in other African countries. I was going to write something like ‘5 things I love about living in (East) Africa’ but it risked sounding trite. However, I did it anyway, so here they are…

For those new to link-up’s, this is a place to post links to posts from your own blog under a common theme (in this case Africa). You can then visit as many other blogs as possible to see what others have written about. This is a great way to hopefully get to know some new bloggers and find out about life elsewhere on this amazingly diverse continent.

We are keeping this link-up as flexible as possible to start with and the only rules are that your posts should not be offensive nor should they be purely advertising. We will remove any that do not follow these two guidelines.

Otherwise all we want from you is an Africa related post, whether it be about your life, about politics, or wildlife or travel; whether it be in story-form or a photographic post – so long as it conveys something about the continent. Although you are not obliged to read any other posts, it will be a very boring link-up if everyone just posts and runs, so our suggestion is to at least visit and ideally comment on at least two or three others.

Please click on the blue frog (below left) and then add the link to one of your fabulous blog posts. Next grab the Stories from Blogging Africa linky image code and place it at the bottom of the post on your own site. That way, your readers can view the stories in this link-up too. Let me know if you have any problems in placing your link and thank you so much in advance for participating!
