An easy border crossing from Botswana to Zimbabwe brought us to the Victoria Falls on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. We were staying on the Zimbabwean side in a town called, wait for it, ‘Victoria Falls’.  The town itself is pretty nice, with a few nice markets and a lot of baboons and warthogs…

Crossing the border between Namibia and Botswana took a long time, it seemed like there was only one person working there, so prepare to wait. Once through we made a brief overnight stop in Ghanzi before heading to the tourism capital of Maun.  The town has everything you need and is pretty much a starting…

We really wanted to see more of the African continent but ran into a lot of obstacles when it came to costs. We found that the most cost-effective and relaxing way to see Namibia and Botswana was through an organised tour.  After much research we decided to go with a company called Nomad Africa Adventure…

Cape Town is the best city that I have ever visited. I fell in love with it as soon as I arrived and found it a difficult place to say goodbye to.  It’s not just the landscape of Table Mountain or the stunning beaches, it’s the general vibe that makes you feel welcome and at…

Road tripping from Durban to Cape Town is a great way to experience South Africa and there is plenty to see along the way. KwaZulu-Natal holds a special place in my heart as this is where I grew up and it is a hugely underrated spot in South Africa to visit. Most people only visit…

Almost every trip to South Africa will start with Johannesburg, as it is the flight hub of the country. Johannesburg gets a bit of a bad rep, but don’t let that put you off, just remember to take care in this city, basically don’t drive at night is the best advice, and as long as…

That small dot in the middle of a map of South Africa is not a lake or a mistake, but a tiny country called Lesotho, and we decided to visit it. The drive from KwaZulu-Natal up into the Drakensburg Mountains is breath-taking and even more so when you drive up Sani Pass and cross the…

Ponta D’Ouro in Mozambique is incredibly accessible from South Africa being only a 20 minute drive over the Kosi Bay Border in Northern KwaZulu-Natal, but you truly feel like you are in a different country. I highly recommend you take a 4×4 vehicle as the roads are not really roads, but sand dunes, and it…

Swaziland is great way to break up the drive from Kruger National Park to KwaZulu-Natal.  This little Kingdom is easily driven through in a day, however, we stopped over for a night in order to spend a bit more time here.  The Oshoek Border Post was pretty straight forward, just make sure you have your…

Before heading to Yangon in Myanmar, I highly recommend that you book accommodation in advance. There is not enough accommodation available for the amount of people that are now starting to visit the city.  When I arrived I spent hours driving around in a taxi (very expensive!) and visiting around 10 different places before I…
