Thoughts from Southern Africa

It has been 7 months since returning from my epic overland adventure through Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – with layovers in Qatar and South Africa – which added 6 new countries to my list. Since I have now booked my next trip, which is also to Africa, I wanted […]

Kande Beach Resort, Malawi, in 2022

Lake Malawi is an idyllic location for overland travel. Off the beaten path, in a country that is known as “The Warm Heart of Africa” due to the hospitality of its people, it combines amazing scenery and nice beaches with lots of activities sure to appeal to most people. With […]

A long layover in Johannesburg

I’m currently in Johannesburg airport waiting for the second of my three flights that will take me back to the UK. This is the third time that I have had a long transit here – the previous times being on the way to and from Namibia back in 2002. Unfortunately […]

A full day exploring Victoria Falls

After spending an entire day checking out Victoria Falls from both sides of the border, and from the air, I’m almost lost for words at how amazing the site is and I can only imagine what it’s like during the rainy season when the falls are at their peak flow […]

From Bulawayo to Victoria Falls

We have arrived at our final stop on this trip and tomorrow we will see the mighty Victoria Falls up close. I’m definitely glad that I did the trip this way round – North to South – so that we finished with the shorter travel days and the better sights […]

Walking with Rhinos at the Matobo NP

Today we spent a whole day travelling around the Matobo National Park and, while it was an expensive day, it was definitely worth it as we learnt a lot, saw some amazing scenery, and got up close to some Rhino while on foot. The day started with something that is […]

The ruins of Great Zimbabwe

Today was the first of the shorter travel days that we had been promised and it made a huge difference. We left Harare at 7am and were at tonight’s campsite – Clever’s Lakeview Resort near Masvingo – before 1pm. This meant that we weren’t as exhausted as on previous days […]

Our final day in Zambia

Today we came very close to entering another country that we didn’t expect while on this trip, as the road from Petauke to Lusaka brushed the border with Mozambique. Unfortunately it only brushed the border and we didn’t enter the country so no passport stamps, but I’ll make it to […]

Lions and Leopards at South Luangwa

Today was one of the best days of game viewing that I have ever had in all of my visits to Africa, and I finally did something that I was hoping would happen on this trip – finally see all of the Big 5 in the wild during game drives […]
