Hi Lynda!
Yes, we intend to be careful and be safe – do keep up in your prayers and send us good thoughts! Yip – got loads of malaria smarties – I think we start taking them in Mauritania, and don’t stop until we cross the Orange River into SA!!!
Thanks for your note. Yes, it just had to be done
Remember to “Suscribe” if you’d like trip updates delivered directly to your inbox!

I missed what was the reason for your vehicle to be transported by container. Clearly it worked out which was good news.
Very best of luck in your travels. We had a good time in Africa culminating with a stay in the Royal Livingstone Hotel where at breakfast a small herd of zebra casually stroll across the grass in front of the hotel by the river.
The Zambesi and the Falls were wonderful as was the helicopter flight along the river at water depth. Dinner on the river going in to the setting sun, drinking gins and tonic, was memorable.
Good fortune favours the brave.

Just thought I’d drop you a quick note to say hello. I hope your adventure is exactly that. I expect there are energising days and tiring days, but all are Great when you take on such a challenge.
We hope you are keeping healthy and happy
