Whitehorse can be a pretty magical place -- my old friends up there got me into paragliding (Sean Kitchen still up there ?), and I got to practice my fly fishing up there for lake trout, or head to Haines for the salmon run (I was always skunked, nearly always had a good time anyway), and good hiking and beautiful terrain around Haines or pass to Skagway...
I just assumed by your description you would be somewhere else, and it piqued my curiousity. Enjoy Whitehorse, good luck with your African trip!
