After we left the Delta (sadly), we travelled across the border into South Africa. Our first stop was Polokwane where we set up camp for the night. We headed to an area called Blyde River Canyon where there were some amazing views of gorges and the canyon below. We stayed here for one night. We then headed into the Kruger National Park for 2 nights where we were surprised with a beautiful luxury tent that had been booked for us by our tour. For the first time i...

From Vic Falls we headed into Botswana to visit The Okovango Delta. This is one of the things Faye has been most excited to do out of our whole trip so we got up nice and early, showered and packed our stuff for 3 days of bush camping and walking safaris. We were picked up in a huge open top lorry and realised 20 minutes into the drive that shorts and flip flops were not appropriate attire! Bloody freezing, we had to undo all our nicely packed sleeping bags and w...

We arrived at Victoria Falls on Friday lunch time, pitched up our tents and headed straight for the falls for viewing. As we entered the area we were soaked in spray even before we managed to see it! The views were amazing (photos up soon!) and we spent 3 hours walking from one end to the other. The following day Michelle went off for a full day of white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi River. I bottled it as you all know how much I hate being on things in t...

Zambia seems a little wealthier than the other countries we have seen although a lot of people clearly still live in awful conditions. We couldnt find ONE cash machine that took mastercard. Ridiculous.

We drove from Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania all the way down to Lake Malawi in Malawi. We spent 5 days travelling down the West Coast of the Lake before we headed to Zambia. Malawi is by far the poorest country we have visited in Africa, but again, the people are amazing. They dont have a lot but it doesnt phase them. We spent the 5 days snorkelling, kayaking and spending time on the beaches. We went walking with the local children the to villages and they held our ...
