Moremi Game Reserve (…or how to get lost for a whole day in Africa) – July 21st

From Maun we drove towards Zambia, which have us two main options for routes: (1) a rather well-paved highway and (2) a mostly dirt track with long stretches of deep sand through two game reserves (Moremi and Chobe). It wouldn’t be an adventure if we didn’t decide to put the land rover to the test […]

The Mokoro Expedition! (July 19 & 20)

After a first (great) night at the Old Bridge Backpackers in Maun, Michael, Aaron and me decided to go on a two day mokoro-trip (on a traditional wooden carved canoe) in the Okavongo delta. We were told to get ready to leave the hostel by 7.30 am, so there we were, waiting at sunrise along […]

From Windhoek to the Okavango delta!

On Wednesday July 16th, the four guys pulled out of Windhoek with a new (secondhand) gear box anxious to shake things up with a new country. The car was running superbly as the highway brought us toward Botswana and the border lineups were essentially non-existent. As we each passed our passports to the immigration officer, […]

Etosha Experience

  Mike’s chance encounter with the leopard in the Erongo mountains had left the rest of us excited for some wild animal encounters of our own as we were to head towards Etosha National Park in Northern Namibia that next day. The 300 kilometre drive was slightly delayed as we had to drive over some […]

An Encounter at Erongo

Before the past three days, the travelling I had been doing and the trip I was partaking in were two vastly different things. I had imagined a rugged trip in the African wilderness with plenty of dusty campsites, dirty facilities, and close encounters with animals. However, I had very little experience in this type of […]

4 Guys In Africa!

Hey everybody, It’s Antoine at the computer today. I arrived in Windhoek on June 30th and walked through the gates expecting to be greeted by my three fellows travellers. After searching for twenty minutes I realized something was amiss. I called Aaron and despite the bad reception, managed to understand that a problem with the […]

Durban -> Knysna (The Car Arrives!)

Durban was a crucial tipping point in our trip. We flew in from Cape Town to get our Land Rover Discovery cleared at the port and to finally get behind the wheel and start. Even though we wanted to officially start the trip from Cape Town, it was significantly cheaper and faster to ship it […]

Knysna -> Windhoek (Tranny Woes and A Couple of Tows)

It’s Aaron back at the keyboard today!  We had spent a refreshing night at Inyathi Guest Lodge in Knysna on the Garden Route, where we shaved into moustaches and got back on the road for Stellenbosch to meet our main ladies from Two Oceans. We had contacted Jackie at Two Oceans over a month before the […]

Checking In Across the Pond

I’m back from the dead folks!  Haaris has been working hard to update the site and I have to admit, I am genuinely impressed.  Hope you all like it.  My time across the ocean, in Helsinki has been flying by and I will quickly say a word or two about the places I’ve visited so […]

African Soil

This coming week I’ll be jaunting around the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, so I want to write about my first ever African experience before my absence.  I had the amazing opportunity to stay in Marrakech, Morocco for three days and it was everything that I expected and more.  Coming from Lisbon, it […]

Some Hot Tunes for the Road

Sorry that it has been so long since our last blog post, but Mike has been in Europe  and the two of us are working hard to graduate (not really, but we’ll pretend).   For the nice long drives we’ll be doing, of course we need some great tunes for the  road! Our Discovery has […]

Piece from the Middle East!

It’s been a long week, but it’s been fruitful here in the Middle East. WE HAVE A VEHICLE!!! A beautiful golden Land Rover Discovery 1999! We decided a Discovery would be the best option for a bunch of reasons, availability of spare parts, price, and performance being a few – and we got lucky! After […]

International Driving Permits

Today me and my right-hand man, Michael, drove on up to the local CAA store in Sarnia and got ourselves some International Driving Permits – which we’ll be needing to drive our vehicle in many of the countries on the trip. It only took about 20 minutes and cost just under $40, so we’re ready […]

A Brief Update – Africa

So as of right now we’re just trying to decide on what kind of vehicle we want to purchase for the trip, and where we’re going to buy it. We’re leaning towards a Land Rover Discovery (1994-1999), before they changed the engine, and are thinking of buying it in Dubai and having it shipped to […]
