Adventures in Africa: Overland from Pretoria to Dar es Salaam in 10..er..11 days

This is a picture of Kobus navigating a particularly steep path out of a place called Sangilo Sanctuary -- a lodge perched over northern Lake Malawi. Comfortable place and a 4x4 challenge easily overcome by our wonderful new machine.

Some thought we were brave, others insane but we made it back to tell the tale. We drove the newest member of our family (see pic) some 4417km from Pretoria, South Africa through Botswana, Zambia, Malawi and then Tanzania home to Dar es Salaam. I rekon it was a huge success. I still love my husband and we didn't loose or otherwise leave either child behind anywhere. We had some absolutely fabulous moments along the way. Stay tuned for some more anecdotes and pictures as time and inspiration allow.
