On the Road Again...

Our time in Southern Africa is nearing an end - I suppose nearly 3 months is long enough. We have enjoyed our time here, seen so much more of the country, experienced all types of weather and are ever thankful to those who let us sleep under their roof when we 'dropped by' (the latest being Chris's aunt and uncle holidaying in Sun City with Chris' folks and his cousin).
While I type this, Chris is trying to pack his bags and I am staying out of his way... you see, the way we pack (or try to) is that I would start... and hopefully finish in not too long a time, and then (unwittingly) Chris will pack everything else which remains. However, my plan backfires when he gets distracted by my belongings still being on the bed, the floor and on the shelves! Ain't travelling grand!

Tomorrow we fly off to Livingstone to see the statues to the Great Doctor - we presume! We'll also be starting another tour - 22 days this time, which takes us through some spectacular scenery and some exciting countries...

Victoria Falls, Zambezi Gorge, Lake Kariba, South Luangwa National Park, Lake Malawi, Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Nairobi, Arusha.

A journey through the wild continent, from Zambia to Malawi and Tanzania, and finally into Kenya. We'll be discovering the diversity of wildlife, landscapes and people in East and Southern Africa on this journey of adventure and discovery. And keep your eye out for the Big 5! - Well, that's what the guides say, so let's hope so...

Hold onto your hats. We'll update as best as possible, but with our accommodation being participation camping (15 nts), cabin/lodge/bungalow/hotel (4 nts), simple permanent tented camp (2 nts), we're getting back down and dirty with nature, and certainly not many internet cafes en route.

Bon Voyage!
