The initial plan was to drive only 250km in Mozambique to connect the south of Malawi to Zimbabwe. But we thought that would be interesting to explore more of Mozambique while we are here. And when we read that Mozambique has wonderful diving spot, our decision was quickly made : let's go swimming and diving in the warm Indian Ocean ! After a long drive in a dirt road from the south of Lake Malawi, we finally reach the coast and the detour totally worth it !...

We were the only one in this re...

We picked up our Gorillas permit and we drove straight to southwest Uganda for our safari. On our way we stopped at a nice lake, we drove 15km out in the countryside and every kids got super excited by seeing us they kept waving at us screaming « Muzungu Muzungu » (white man), and when we waved back, ...
