Our first night in Tanzania was spent just out of the chaotic capital city Dares Saalam. The next morning we headed off in 2 seater tuk-tuks to the ferry wharf to make our way to the tropical island paradise called Zanzibar. The line just to get through immigration and onto the ferry was absolute nutters. People pushing and shoving, pretty much doing whatever they could to get onto that ferry first. In 30 degree heat, at 9 in the morning, with a combination of ...

As we crossed yet another border from Zambia into Malawi, this was the first country we would be exploring with the 10 new members of our tour group. We stayed in 2 beachy campsites, each for 2 nights, on separate sides of Lake Malawi.

There was an optional activity which the majority of the gr...

We got a quick introduction to all the adventure activities available and then we headed out on the town on Saturday evening for an Italian style dinner and one to many drinks. Waking up the next morning was all a bit fuzzy however I soon sobered up when I remembered my 8.30am activity choice was sand boarding. We drove about 10 minutes out of town...
