Setting up in Cape Town

So we've arrived in Cape Town and have now been here for almost 2 weeks. It's been a busy 2 weeks for us, and a big change from our chilled out beach life on the islands.

Zanzibar

Who's better than Freddy Mercury? No one.

And where's more beautiful than Zanzibar? I can't think that anywhere could be.

Tanzania

After Mozambique we'll take on Tanzania. Slightly unsure exactly how to get in to Tanzania at the moment, but I'm sure we'll figure it out when we're at the border.

Zambia

Some Zambinians

"People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege."

David Livingstone

Mozambique

My private island in Mozambique

So Mozambique is the only country that we really want to go to that needs me to have a pre-arranged visa to get into. This seemed like a pain in the arse, but it's actually not that difficult and we can get it from Cape Town.

Camping in Africa

It seems to be quite normal to camp as you tour Africa.  I guess this makes sense as it is pretty rural out there and there just aren't that many buildings to stay in.  So you camp... in the wild.

How to stay alive in Africa

This is an important bit, so concentrate...

Firstly... Don't get Malaria!

Malaria Bear

Saul's back... to explain Tanzania

Yes, you can all calm down and listen up. Saul Goodman is back to help answer some of the Big Africa questions.

Don't worry, I'm back!

Safari

A colonialist being carried about

To be honest, I was not too sure what a safari actually was, but I think I've got it now.

It's what posh white people do in Africa!  They wear white linen and get carried about by the locals.
Then they shoot a bunch of animals and put their heads on the walls when they get home.

4x4 Driving

I am not the worlds best driver (as I've mentioned before) but we're not going to worry about this now.  We're just going to focus on how cool it will be for us to buy a 4x4 and drive it around Southern Africa!

Woo.. go Africa!

We've changed our minds... We're going to tour Africa!

Africa... we're coming for you!

We've been having a bit of a problem recently.  We wanted to be in 2 places at once (India and South Africa) in order to hit the best weather.
