What an awesome country. Other than the unpleasantness of being liberated of my wallet in Windhoek, really cool place. Used to be a German colony, german architecture, german beer, and bratwurst. I went to Swakopmund in western Namibia. Right on the ... Read more >

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile but it's hard to fit in writing blogs when I'm busy quad biking in the desert. Zimbabwes a mess right now. Very little public transport opportunities, most businesses are shut down. I took the train(my only option) ... Read more >

Started Vic Falls on the Zambian side. Plenty of activities, but I couldn't afford them all. I did the microlight over the falls. It was a fifteen minute ride but worth it. The pilot did two loops over the falls, down through the rising mists, and ... Read more >

Bujumbura is the capital of Burundi and on the shores of Lake Tanganika. It was just like any other African capital with the crazy traffic and people everywhere. But the people here were really friendly, and almost no white people. I met this french ... Read more >

Kigali is the capital of Rwanda. The main draw for me to come here was the Genocide Memorial. In 1994 there was a Genocide in Rwanda that killed over 800,000 people in the course of three months. Right now they are mourning the Genocide because it's ... Read more >
