We’ve been pretty much stranded at Mwanza Yacht Club. The view may look like an expensive, shabby-chic area of the South of France…    …but when you look closely, these guys aren’t paying $2m+ for some trendy old hillside cottage…    Had … Continue reading →

Leaving Rwanda we drove a scenic, beautifully tarred, 120km road to the Rusumo Falls border with Tanzania. Speed limits here are very low – typically 40kph and 60kph on occasional roads, so it’s still a 3 hour drive. We got … 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 →

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 →
