Going To Lusaka
/0 Comments/in Africa, Travelogue, Zambia /by allanAfter three days of waiting for sunshine and my DHL package from Windhoek, I was committed to just push on. Africa is a big continent. I’ve got Malawi, Tanzania, Madagascar, Uganda and more to look forward to. True, I feel slighly ripped off that I didn’t have better weather here and the incentive to cross […]
Victoria Falls.

Riding Through Herds of Elephants.
/0 Comments/in Africa, Botswana, Travelogue /by allanBotswana, like Namibia, is both blessed and cursed with dry, desolate and inhospitable deserts to the south, a massive swamp to the northwest and lush green forests and fertile greenbelts to the northeast. But getting to many of these areas can be challenging. As such, Botswana could be one of the most expensive tourist destinations […]
