Lilongwe to Zomba to Nkhotakota.
/0 Comments/in Africa, Malawi, Travelogue /by allanMulling over maps of Malawi and Tanzania, Ronnie and I planned a route that would provide us a good overview of Malawi: its mountains to the south, the beaches on the southern part of the lake, the villages along the lake and the peaceful serenity of the more remote northern lake and onward north to […]

Going To Lusaka
/0 Comments/in Africa, Travelogue, Zambia /by allanAfter three days of waiting for sunshine and my DHL package from Windhoek, I was committed to just push on. Africa is a big continent.
