The luxury of a developed world strikes us as soon as we're hitting the border!
There are roads in perfect condition, ATM's, shopping malls, internet and many effordable places to stay overnight. From one day to another everything isn't a problem anymore. Suddenly we're able to get money on the first ATM machine, buy nice food in a supermarket and have a good night sleep in clean sheets...
No wonder we just want to enjoy the luxury and relax for 1 week in Tsumeb before deciding what to do in Namibia.

a tour through the Etosha National Park

half of the tour "around africa" is done, we made it to cape point after 25000km through the black continent

Right, we made it across the border to Mozambique. Pretty easy procedures, nobody is asking for bribes or an insurance... Luckily for us the police doesn't stop us on the way to Maputo and is asking us for the insurance either. While camping at the Fatimas we're trying to shop for as many visas as possible.welcome to mozambique

We’re crossing into Zambia on the famous Zambezi Bridge. There are several counters to pass. The procedures are somehow confusing but one thing is clear: on every counter I’d be asked for $$$. Visa fees, carbon tax, insurance, road toll…

There is nothing about Livingstone town to keep us for few days but we do enjoy the cozy Faulty Towers Camp and relax. It’s a long ride from Livingstone to Siavonga, our next stop.

This chapter we'll dedicate to the experiences we do want to forget as they truly were not pleasant. At the same time it should act as a warning to fellow travellers. Ofcourse everyone is making his own experiences so dont blame us if you've seen it differently.1. Arranging a safari through MATATA TOURS in Moshi, Tanzania
2. Changing money at the border Malawi/Tanzania
3. Beach boys at Diani beach, Kenya
4. jambolulu GH @ Diani Beach, Kenya for stealing our money while cleaning!!
