The Turkana tribal dancing went on past dusk and late into the night. It’s not so much ‘dance’ as foot-stamping, springing into the air and chanting. Is this where the Punk Rock craze got their inspiration? Probably not, or Punk … Continue reading →

Chassis Brakes

We limped the car 30km from Ilariak camp into Narok town where Moses had found us a small workshop that could look at the chassis and the brakes. It was pretty basic but the owner / mechanic Paulo seemed confident … Continue reading →

Now what….?

Just to ram home the lunatic driving on Serengeti tracks by some tour drivers, before we left Seronera Tumbili Camp we met a Kenyan chap. He’d just completed a 3-day Safari in Serengeti with a Saudi Prince and his entourage … Continue reading →

Leaving Snake Park Camp for Ngorongoro Crater we briefly met a German family who recently flew their bike and home-made sidecar into Mombassa and are heading south. Nice guys, but they’ve got a real task on their hands – they’ve … Continue reading →

With our reconditioned axel in place we left Jerome in Lushoto, back down the Usambara hairpins to the plains and headed 280km north west to Moshi. We just did a quick overnight stop at The Keys Annex camping and accommodation … Continue reading →

More local kindness…

I don’t think either of us was disappointed to leave the Dar Es Salaam area and we were looking forward to some beach-time further north. Helene drove, as my leg was too raw to be able to work the clutch … Continue reading →

Just outside Iringa we stayed at Kisolanza – The Old Farmhouse. There’s no dramatic scenery around, but the campsite itself is a great place for a couple of days stopover. Setup on a farm, it’s based around a mud-built dwelling … Continue reading →

We only had a day before our Malawi Visas expired, so drove 160km north up the lake to the Songwe Bridge border with Tanzania. A good road, but pretty slow due to the heavy rain and a number of slow … Continue reading →

I can think of a lot worse places than Lukwe Camp at Livingstonia to be told to sit and do nothing. To round things off, Gareth and Kirsty (who we met further south on the lake) turned up. Gareth says … Continue reading →

We’d spent the whole day either out in the fields with the Wells For Zoe team or ferrying them around the muddy clay valley. They were going for dinner at Pine Tree Lodge and asked if we wanted to tag … Continue reading →
