Following on from Christmas in Ndole bay we weren’t yet ready to bid farewell to Zambia. We headed for the border with Tanzania where Africa’s second highest waterfall is located, Kalambo falls. The water tips over a lip in the great Rift Valley falling straight to the ground some 221m below. This is visual geology … More Farewell Africa’s emerald

Something we have finally concluded, we are more water people than desert people, this no doubt has something to do with Kevin growing up in Wales and me by the sea. We have indulged in some beautiful hot springs and then lake Tanganyika to ensure we are well hydrated.  The hot springs were tested morning, noon … More Zambia’s second worst road

Driving through Zambia is like drive through a supermarket fruit and veg section. You often see people, mainly children, selling food on the side of the road. This has been everything from mangoes, tomatoes, onions, plums and now mushrooms.

From the moment we left the border crossing seeing large game on the side of the road is a regular occurrence.  We have been to Chobe waterfront (don’t think the v&a in Cape Town), then we headed to … More Botswana part 1

Basically from day 2 we had a new rattle, this has since turned out to be the exhaust … More Oh dear what can the matter be MrO?

Therefore I do acknowledge that by now this should have probably been our 3rd post while in CT but … More 3 for the price of 1
