WHY THIS COUPLE IS TRAVELING AFRICA, AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

in #travel7 years ago

We landed in South Africa with virtually no plans, just that we wanted to see Africa. Logistics had not been given a thought. Things like when, where, and how - the typical things that come to mind when planning a trip were all blank.

WHY ARE WE TRAVELING THROUGH AFRICA?

The two of us didn't know each other when we were younger, but we did have one childhood favorite in common - The Lion King (Cameron's first movie). Ever since 1994, I have been dreaming about visiting Africa to see the incredible wildlife. As I grew older, the list of reasons for venturing around the continent only grew longer. We're eager to explore a continent famous for smiles despite its hardships. Traveling to destinations away from the typical tourist tracks is often rewarding. It opens the travelers eyes.

HOW ARE WE TRAVELING THROUGH AFRICA?

Once we landed in South Africa, we got a two-month rental car to travel around. The car was a Nissan NP200 bakkie and we took it through South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho. About five hours into Mozambique and we knew the rental car was not going to cut it.

DO YOU EXPECT ANY PROBLEMS?

We are not expecting anything to go smoothly by any means, TIA. However, we have tried to prepare ourselves to the best of our ability. We've stocked up on camping supplies, purchased new tires, and have at least half of a pharmacy in our car. Besides expecting the unexpected we are watching the news in some of the countries we want to travel through.
