We have a few days in Cape Town before joining our Safari group on the 2nd June, we then head north along the west coast through South Africa, Namibia and across the top of Botswana into Zimbabwe. Nick leaves me after a few days of luxury in Vic Falls and I get back to roughing it heading north east through Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and then up through Tanzania to Kenya and across to Uganda and Rwanda before heading back to Kenya and home on the 1st August.
Highlights that we're looking forward to are spotting the 'Big 5' in one of our many safari adventures, the Okovango Delta, Vic Falls, the spice markets in Zanzibar, hot air balloon over the Serengeti and seeing the Mountain Gorilla's in Rwanda.
Ten countries, 15 border crossings, a lot of camping, cooking and adventures. There will be blood, sweat and tears but we're ready - bring it on!

Hi, Emma, great blog, much more than I expected, really interesting. Sounds like you are having a fab time. We are all missing you guys loads. Lots of comments about Nick getting FNZ withdrawl symptoms but the photos tell a different story. You both look very relaxed indeed.
