Nairobi was a fantastic city in which to have a rest day. With well established infrastructure, modern shopping malls, cute cafes, sights to see, activities to do and numerous good restaurants to try, everyone had a busy schedule. The Carnivore restaurant the previous night had been a great success and a comfy sleep in a …
Taking time out in Coffee Bay
I can’t recall having as much fun as I did during my stay at the Coffee Shack in Coffee Bay – with an epic crowd of travelers, unbelievably friendly staff, great facilities, a beautiful location and and and… My only complaint about my time there would be that I had to leave. Reluctantly. So if you’re keen …
Desert Life in the Kgalagadi
We’ve just spent 6 nights in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. What a pity it couldn’t have been a bit longer – it’s like nothing either of us have ever seen before. Well actually I have seen it before, but I was 6 at the time, so the memories are a bit blurry. Kerryn grew up …

Through the amazing country of Kenya…

Over the falls and off the grid – Tsitsa Falls, Eastern cape
I had never heard of Tsitsa Falls and 99% of the people I have asked haven’t either. You should definitely visit. The Falls backpackers struck a chord in a lot of ways, as it’s off the grid. Way off. It was kind of refreshing not having to bother with the digital trappings of the world, which is exactly …
Rest day in Yabello, then on to the Kenyan border..
The ride into Yabello and the rest day became known as the toughest of the trip. I know I keep saying that, but this day of off-road cycling and other factors such as a strong head wind and climbing made it that little bit more challenging. It was a seriously long day on the bike …
Away We Go
We’re writing this post from Mata Mata camp, half way up the western boundary of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Namibia is a sand dune away, just visible under a star-spangled sky. Jo’burg feels a million miles further. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 4 days. It’s Sunday night, but we’ll probably only get to …
Where time stands still – Hogsback, Eastern Cape
Time tends to stand still in Hogsback, but the days keep passing by and that is why after nearly ten days I am still here trying to capture the photo that hints at the spectacular of this little gem in the Eastern Cape. I arrived after dark, unaware of what Hogsback held for me but amped …
