    Hi,

    I'm planning to drive from London to Capetown in a custom built Landrover from Jan / Feb 2010 until July, stopping on the way to do some relief work possibly in Sudan and Uganda. If you're interested have a look at my posts on the various forums (search for London to Capetown Leaving January 2010) or email me on himbastravels@live.co.uk. I'm also open to people joining me for a few months at a time.

    All the best,

    Mike

    Hi All of you... ...Nambibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Mocambique, South Africa... please keep on reading and reply to my question if you know anything, I really need some tips - I want to do something, many people think I'm crazy because of my plans - but motivates me to do it, i would even invite you to accompany me...

    I want to start in Windhoek around the first week of April, spending two weeks in Namibia, then crossing into Botswana for a week or more, then Victoria Falls, up through Zambia to the northern tip of Malawi - crossing into Malawi - approximately 16 to 20 days - then down to Mocambique - being there three weeks - doing some diving. Then heading to South Africa. I need to be in Durban around the 11th or 12th of June.

    Now my question - do you think I have some realistic chances to do this route nearly only with public buses or with hitchhiking? I consider tour operators only for some special trips into the national parks.

    Hi
    I'll go to Kenya in January and I need a help from You. Can you advise me is it better to fix a safari trip in your own country before the departure or at the place f.e. in Kenya? Which option is better or cheaper?
    And the second matter-which antimalaric drug is better to take-Lariam or Malarone? In my country (Poland) only Malarone is available and Lariam I have to import from Germany.

    Which fotocamera will You recommend for a safari in Kenya?

      aniqa I sent you a private message but not sure if it worked so...

      I'm currently looking at 2 tour operators, and if we can get 4 people together we can get a nice tour at a good price. I'm looking at Zara tours (who offer to allow people to join their groups, but say that they need 4 people and currently are not running any groups at that time) and Access2Tanzania.

      Let me know what other information you need.

    hey everyone, I am interested in finding out if there is anyone planning travel between South Africa and Tanzania in the early months of 2010. I am arriving in South Africa in December and am planning to spend a month or so there, and then I was thinking of traveling northwards.. So if anyone has any advice or interest in joining me, I'd love to hear from you!

      aniqa Hi contact me if you'd be interested in meeting up with another Aussie to do a tour in TZ in late Feb. I'm trying to put a group together as I'm having a hard time finding anyone who can take solo travellers
