When you think of Africa you think of the animals. So you think of the most famous national park - The Serengeti. For the next few days that would be our home. The first morning we changed from our lovely truck into smaller 4x4 Safari Jeeps. The ride up was so smooth! Not bumpy at all! It was such a change. But when we started driving up to the Nrongorongo Crater it got bad. It was like we were driving up a range, but a very bumpy, unsecured one. It was a bit ter...

Day Eleven - Tanzania (Zanzibar) After getting up for the millionth time I decided I really needed to shower! I'm so grateful they had hot showers! May have been salt water, but it was hot, just what I needed. The sad thing was, after I'd showered I was so exhausted I needed to lay down. I tried eating some breakfast , and managed to get down a piece of toast with avocado :) I was still feeling absolutely terrible but not as bad as yesterday. I guess fresh air h...

We started in Stone Town, a known area for its rich culture, religion, and history in slavery. As soon as you step off the ferry (a 2.5hr ride from mainland) it was totally different to other parts of Africa. While you still had the street venders & the beggars, it was just.. Nicer. Cleaner.

(Sorry, we were stopped at the boarder for about 2hrs) You see, we were meant to be at our site awhile ago, but a few weeks ago, there was a tour group there that got held up, robbed & someone was shot. Well it happened again last night apart from the shooting part, and the G-Adventures head off...

Day Seven - Malawi It's a driving day today, but only a short one. I woke up from my terrible attempt of a sleep and found out just how bad my burn is, I have photos to show you. I think I'm going to complain about my doctor because he seriously shouldn't have put me on tablets which make my skin MORE sensitive to sun. It's the last thing I need! I can barely walk or bend my legs because the back of them are terrible. So sitting in a bumpy truck all day is HELL....
