Update from Okavango Delta & Home…
Hi all
Well this will be the final update to our blog. We have arrived home safely after an awesome trip and the Okavango Delta was a great way to finish it all off. Due to the unexpected high fuel prices in some of the countries we decided to do and see everything that we wanted to, spend whatev…
Welcome to the Njovu East Africa page. We'll be using this site to update on where we are and what's been happening during our trip from South Africa to Tanzania via Botswana, Zambia, Malawi and Zanzibar. One of the reasons for th trip is to get away from it all and internet access will be limited (if available at all!). We'll do our best to update the site whenever we can but if there's nothing new here, it probably means we're enjoying a beer under the African skies somewhere. Eit…

Het boys!
Good to hear you back in the land of the living. To all who followed your trip it seemed amazing and the signs spectacular - though I'm sure some glad to miss the real s*** you guys went through sometimes. All the same it made your experience that much more memorable.
Can wait to meet up with you guys when your in th UK and go through it all over a pint.
Talk soon!

Hi there
Wow, the pictures are amaizing. Love the life and signs, think they super cool. Serengeti pics are awesome. Makes me miss home allot. Summer in London is such an anti climax :-). Rhett, glad to see you rememberd to pack the coke - 3 crates nogal - makes me proud.

Hey guys,
Wow, your pictures are amazing, I'm super jealous, it looks like you're having a brilliant time. I am wondering who took the pic of the baboons...it's 50/50 but my money is on you Rhett :-)
I am off with my bike to see if I can top the family of four and goats...my 9kg gass bottle for re-filling down at Builders Warehouse perhaps :-)
Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep safe.
Lynda.

Hi Guys, your pics of Serengeti are amazing. Sounds like you're still having a blast. Hope your budget lasts 'til you get home with the way the oil price is ever-increasing! Make sure you keep a reserve fund for beer! Dad is still in ICU, hopefully will move to ward next week. Sadly has had two strokes, which we knew was a potential risk of the op, so just taking it a day at a time. Drive safely and ENJOY!
Rog and Gran
Hi guys,
Sounds like you are really having quite an exciting time. Can't wait for you to get home and are able to tell us face to face all about your experiences. Rog and I have just returned from the hospital. Morris is doing well, but still in ICU. Lots of love from us both,
Gran.
Rhett
Thanks for the messages guys.
Dicko, thanks for the oil price update! It has just been increased to close to R20/l in Zambia...
Seani, all good here health wise thanks. Went to a doctor in Moshi who looked like Dr Doolittle and gave me some stuff to take.
Sue, thanks for getting in touch! For all the grief you gave us about the trip i'm glad we're keeping you entertained :-)
Mom, great news about the house! Glad to hear its getting sorted out.
See/chat to you all soon.
Cheers

Just thought you might like to know that maybe we have bought a house! Cannot let the side down now with change of mind. Morris doing well as I am sure you know by now. Have a permanent post now. Going skiing in a few weeks. Drive carefully lots of love Mom

Can't believe its taken me over a month to touch base with you guys - you have had me laughing out loud in the office! Sounds like you are having an absolute blast which is awesome. Turkey continues as always - loving summer in Europe - work is work. Enjoy the trip home and hope the money doesn't run out too soon :)

Boys!
Firstly thanks for the customised photos, really glad I can give you a hard time from here. Rhetti what is the latest with the bed-lice/jungle fever, it clearing up at all after your meds? Also how the finances looking, you going to have to cut it short like you say? Let me know your rough ETA when you know and I'll get Sally to get your rooms in order, also need to let the sub-letters know that their contract has been terminated.
Otherwise all still in order, no major news here but it will be good to have you guys back in Annecy!
Cheers and enjoy the last few days, back to reality soon unfortunatly and you must enjoy the last few days of hakuna matata!

Hello guys, flip it sounds like you gents are having an awesome time! On your way home along the lake, try stay at a place called Myoka Village in Nkhata Bay, its an awesome place. Probably the price of two litres of petrol.
Oh ja, one last thing rhett, Oil just went over US$140 a barrel. Maybe fill up soon if you still want to make it home.
Otherwise keep well and enjoy it!
Rhett & Johan
Hi guys!!
Thanks for the messages - we're getting your sms's and all is still well.
Rhett is walking in a straight line again, thanks to some local medicine and we're currently enjoying a rather windy time in Malawi.
See you all soon!
Cheers!

Hi Rhett. You may just have an inner ear infection, especially if you have been swimming. Either way the antibiotics should do the trick.
Hope you get over it soon. Wishing you a safe journey to Malawi. x
