Another confusing border with some frustrations. You arrive at the first gate which is to be opened. Step 1 drive-thru the gate and park up in line with the trucks on the side of the road. Step 2 is to…

Another consolidated border crossing where you do everything on the opposite side. In this case as we were going from Tanzania to Rwanda you go over to the Rwanda side which includes a rather nice crossover in the roads as…

MABUYA Camp, Lilongwe, Malawi is closing down. The first time we were here was in 2012 on our first trip, it used to be called Kiboko Camp back then. We’re actually here in it’s last week of survival it’s been…

We have known for some time that we would eventually need to convert Henrietta from right hand drive to left hand drive. In fact, we had been saving up for it, and my father gave us some money many years…

So after much efforts and using Chat GPT we’ve fixed the blog so hopefully from now on we can start blogging more. I’ve moved the blog from Weebly to WordPress since Weebly was an absolute nightmare and the pricing was…
