Awesome - I'm really surprised by the Namibian caches in the top 10 and agree - very surprising about no Egyptian caches. Must still be their political issues causing a low tourist influx. However as a reviewer - I still have a lot of caches being requested for publishing in Egypt - probably more than Namibia! I also thought Kenya may get a cache in. DANIE - any change of looking at new cache growth over the past year - i.e. number of new caches in each African country over the past year? (And especially Egpyt - perhaps looking at cache growth over the past 5 or 6 years as a possible "political situation" indicator)?

I am certain that would look very different in Gauteng if the Power Trail(s) were not there. When you do provincial comparisons please include Gauteng's "beautiful step sister" as well - North West? Once I return to South Africa later this year it is my intention to get NW Caching a lot more publicity through getting the number of caches up and the interest of the Gautengers increased that they spent more time in the Platinum Province. In the past the Gautengers have supported us well, but we need to ensure that they spend more time in our midst in the future.

Danie - I am no tourism expert, but I suspect it could be the time lag between people making (and paying) their travel arrangements and actually going on the holiday, sometimes booking / paying up to a year in advance. Also Egypt has had a particularly bad political time with martial law, frequent changes at the top and so on. Just my 2c.
