  • Failing ferry engines and flaring customs guards

    A little celebration is in order: this morning we got up and ready and were on the road, all in under an hour! We even had time to savour the hot coffee in the new flask (me) and complete a final spin cycle on our washing (Matt). Setting up/putting down the tent is almost like second nature now, and...

  • Danger is My Middle Name...and Neil

    We left Chobe early - in fact we leave everywhere early - to take the ferry over to Zambia. This was utter and complete chaos with a backlog of lorries over a mile long waiting to get on it. Problem being it only took one lorry at a time. We actually got through relatively quickly as we were tourists...

  • Zambia by Monkey Moore

    We really only had one stop in Zambia and this was Livingstone from which we saw Victoria falls and did a few extreme activities including gorge swinging and microlighting. A few of us decided to make a day trip across to Zimbabwe where we all became millionaires! In Zim we did a lion encounter (walking...

  • The Smoke That Thunders

    The mighty Mosi Oa Tunya, or Victoria Falls as it is famously known, is not the highest, or the widest waterfall in the world but in my mind and memory, it is definitely one of the most beautiful. The falls are situated along the Zambia and Zimbabwe border, and to cross over to either side, you have...

  • Zambia -The Promise Unveiled

    Zambia is a well kept secret in the heart of Africa. It has emerged in recent years as an engaging attraction to tempt even the most well travelled.

  • Zambia from a microlight

    Forget scenic helicopter rides or private jets. This is the way to fly - like a bird, like an angel, swooping through the sky above the Zambezi with nothing between the ground and my dangling feet but air. Icarus didn't have the advantage of technology, but his father had the right idea. Today, I...

  • Zambian Visa Fees

    Fred Williams-Bowen, Pluckley, writes Having just returned from a holiday in southern Africa that finished with three nights in Zambia, I think you should warn other travellers that Zambia has increased its tourist visa fees for British passport holders to US$140, which must be paid in cash at the point...

  • Victoria Falls

    Got off to a rocky start with three other Canadians (all Engineers Without Borders volunteers) as we left Lilongwe at 7am. Two were almost victims of theft while our mini-bus sat at the bus station. Luckily they knew to keep a strong grip on their wallets. Didn't stop the would-be thief from taking...
