Following a few weeks in Cape Town getting MrO ready (note to self do not leave a car in storage for so long EVER again!) my mom joined me to drive across to Durban to meet Kevin off the plane. I had had several issues with the car that needed sorting least of which the … More Coast to coast with Mother
This is the last leg of the Kenyan and Tanzania coastal trip with Harmony. This last portion of the trip was divided between the south which is a lot less touristy and the north. After exploring Stone town and the horrors of the slave market we headed out to our accommodations on the south east … More Zanzibar (South East, North East and Stone Town)
This is a continuation of the Kenyan coastal trip as a photographer to the African History Professor. Welcome to Tanzania! Traffic jams and Dar are synonymous, what should have been a 30 minute journey from the airport to the car hire depot stretched out to 2 hours! Thank goodness we went to the bathroom before … More Tanzanian Coast
This was not strictly a MrO trip as I was travelling with an old friend, now an African History Professor, to visit the Kenyan, Tanzanian and Zanzibar Swahili coasts for research purposes and I was the official photographer. The trip took place in July with us starting in Kenya, then flying onto Tanzania and then … More Kenyan Coast
I am trying to complete a couple posts but keep getting distracted with this view. It’s a bit like trying to study for exams and looking out the window! We are in Zavora on our way back south so there is loads to update you on. Suffice to say we are diving a lot, whale … More It’s just not happening!
It’s been a long 2 months but finally Kevin has arrived and we are back on the road together. After making a sprint up the east coast north of Durban we reached the border. The road was good apart from the head wind that increased the fuel consumption dramatically. Passage through the border was uneventful … More The start – Ponto du Ouro
Like so many trips you always seem to cram a lot in towards the end. While we have tried our best not to do this, if we are honest with ourselves, we have done a lot in the past 2 weeks. This has included a night at Bhunga neck just south of Kosi bay (SA … More Almost the home stretch
Look away now if you have no interest in diving :-DWell we moved on from Tofo to Guinjata bay – all of about 15km down the coast and guess what, we continued to dive. From there we eventually made it down to Porta do Ouro (about 10km North of the SA border), thankfully we also … More The deep deep blue
Time has really flown since the last post and I have to admit the silence has had nothing to do with a lack of Internet access. We have been distracted by the beautiful coastline and warm waters of the Indian Ocean. We arrived in Mozambique crossing into the country just SE of lake Malawi, from … More Sun, sea and salty (h)air
Nyika was one of the real highlights of our trip, this had a lot to do with the setting of the campsite,views over the rolling hills and the abundance of game that visited daily. We also had the opportunity to stretch our legs and do some cycling. It’s not every day you get to cycle … More Malawi round up
