Best sources of information of travel to africa?

I wanna go to africa and stay for about a month i DO NOT want to go on a guided tour or safari I wanna experience things for myself i dont want to sit in a car and look at animals walk by (though I love animals) where can i find a travel site that will offer aproximate prices and general information on pretty much hikeing through africa?

First of all, narrow your trip. Africa is a LARGE continent. Pick one or two countries, or at least a region (eg. East Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, Northern Africa). Don’t organize a tour. You just have to research the region from home and book a hotel/guest house for at least the first few days of your trip. Once you actually get there, you can meet new people, network with people, or just explore.

I recommend the Lonely Planet guidebooks. Get one for the country/countries you’re interested in. They are largely designed for travellers like you who don’t want a structured tour but would rather explore on their own. These guidebooks usually do offer some information on hiking. If you search over the internet, all you’ll get are huge tour companies and large, fancy hotels. You’re going to need a more specific guidebook.

I would also recommend you consider going to East Africa. There’s a lot you can do in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. And it’s a relatively safe area to visit, especially Uganda. In Uganda the people speak English, which makes it easier to get oriented if you’re a new comer. In Uganda you can hike in the Rwenzori mountains, near Sipi Falls, through rainforests (Bwindi to see mountain gorillas, or through smaller forests like Mpanga and Mabira); you can also go white water rafting. There are also walking safaris in Lake Mburo National Park and Queen Elizabeth–I found these to be so nice compared to sitting in a car for days on end on safari. In Kenya and Tanzania there are also great sites to see, national parks to visit (I recommend Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania), and you could even hike part or all of Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s easy to travel between Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania by bus (I recommend Akamba bus line).

Have fun! I hope you fall in love with wherever you vist, like I did!
