I second the recommendation for South Africa. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and Cape Town should not be missed. Also, try to get to Durban. Great beaches. Keep in mind that it is an outrageously long flight, and also that their seasons are opposite ours, so our summer is their winter and it can be a bit chilly and rainy.
Also, I recommend Ghana. Two of the best trips I've ever taken in my life have been to Ghana. Start in Accra then work your way around to Kumasi (Ashanti Kingdom) and then to the slave castles in Cape Coast and Elmina. It's a meaningful AND very affordable trip.
