ZIMBABWE Compared to Zambia the border crossing was a breeze - for goodness sake Steve was even allowed to stamp his own passport!!! Still charged him twice as much as everyone else because he's British! We entered the sleepy town of Vic Falls - rather desolate with all the political upheaval. Even though Vic falls town was sleepy we managed to get some cool adrenaline activities under our belt. Wow, it got lively. From a Helicopter flight over th...

What a nightmare of a border crossing!!!!!! We all had a visa waiver, but guess what??? When we arrived they had conveniently lost our waiver. We had to get the manager of our camp to drive to the border with the photocopy. Guess what after 3 hours they had decided a photocopy wasn't valid!!! Hmmm making the rules as they go.

Hi Everyone, Finally we have found an internet cafe... slow but okay. Not many around understandably being in the bush! We began our 42 day overland trip on the 30th October and left Kenya on that day. Into Tanzania - easy border crossing and boy is it HOT! The truck drive has been fun - no windows.... plastic ones that roll up and down.. so a tad windy at times ( I dont think I have had such bad ly knotted hair ever!!!) We drove into Arusha - passed th...
