After my upcoming trip to Southeast Asia this fall, I am fairly certain of this schedule:

2020: Uganda (chimpanzee & mountain gorilla safari) and Ethiopia

2021: Ecuador and the Galapagos

2022: Nepal

2023: Madagascar
----------------

Beyond this list, I am not entirely sure of the exact sequence, but here is the list of countries I am interested in visiting:

Indonesia
Vietnam
Morocco
Oman
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates
Malaysia (the peninsula) & Singapore
Egypt
Sudan
Iran (once relations finally normalize between us)

And then there's West Africa.  The only thing deterring me as an American citizen are the cost of the visas I have to obtain, and the fact I have to get them separately from each country in the region.  It would be nice if there was a West African version of the East African Visa, and even that only includes three countries.

I've been so focused on travels in the US, I haven't given other unvisited countries as much thought. Off the top of my head I'd say Australia and Japan. Then again, total solar eclipses are always on my list, and I'd be happy to visit Argentina or Chile in Dec 2020 (there's also one there in Jul 2019 but I'm busy then).

2020: Uganda (chimpanzee & mountain gorilla safari)

I suppose you've already done your research, but I humbly submit that Rwanda is a much better place to visit than is Uganda, having been to both last year. Smiley

I'd eventually like to go every country, but a few standouts for me are:

Botswana
Chile
French Polynesia
Greenland
Namibia
Palestine: West Bank
Portugal (incl. Azores)
Spain (incl. Canarias)
Switzerland
Yemen: Socotra
Zambia

Of countries I've been to but regions I haven't, I'd most want to return/go to Argentina (Ushuaia), Australia (Northern Territory and Tasmania), Canada (Labrador, NWT, Nunavut, Yukon), and Japan (Hokkaido).

You may be right, but Uganda is much more affordable.  Also, I'm coming to see more than just gorillas.

Though I'm worried the Saudis currently are destroying the place. Cry

That's fair. When I went to Rwanda, the gorilla permit was about a quarter of what it is now, and even then it squeezed me a bit. That said, I was a whole lot more impressed with the gorilla situation (trekking right up to them and having to step back to stay the legal distance away as they approached curiously) than the chimps (up in the trees screaming and throwing stuff at you).

I suspect DRC might be even more affordable than Uganda, though, even including the cost of an armed guard. Wink

In terms of countries:

Russia
Montenegro
Bosnia
Kazakhstan
Uzbekistan
Iran
Egypt
Cyprus
Chile

But I would actually prefer to make a roadtrip through Europe and see much more of the rural areas in countries that I've already visited. I've travelled a lot within Europe, but almost always to big cities. I like to see more of the beautiful nature.
