We finally drove down to the Cape of Good Hope almost exactly 8 months to the day since we left home in Hale Barns to begin our memorable journey and it was with a lump in our throats that we drove down to the battered coastline of the Cape the official end of our trip.

Some of our most memoriable moments were:-

Driving through the desert in Sudan

Experiencing the beauty of Ethiopia

Christmas in Samburu NP, Kenya

The riots in Nairobi

Rafting in Uganda

Getting close to Mountain Gorillas in Uganda

Micro lighting/helicopter over Vic Falls, Zambia

Driving the Skeleton Coast

Only 2 punctures during the whole trip

Watching Manchester United on t.v. in some wierd and wonderful locations

Making many good friends along the way

Africa will always hold a place in our hearts and we could well embark on other African expeditions in the future.

The people of Africa we met on this journey are proof that the human spirit still triumphs over injustice and adversity against all odds. Many have no financial resources but were very content with their lives. They are truly wonderful people.

Last but not least, many thanks for all your support and encouragement through this website and emails. We hope you enjoyed reading our blogs and looking at our pictures. At times messages from home and a good sense of humour when everything around you is going wrong are the only things that keep you sane!!!!

If any readers fancy doing the trip we are more than welcome to answer questions!!!!

We fly home on 13th May 2008.

THE END

Peter & Jill
