Africa Overland

Ron & Viv

Over the last 20 years and after eight trips and 32 weeks to Africa, we've decided to spend over eight months and drive from Cape Town to London in 2007. Our plan is to travel from Durban to Cape Agulhas (the southern most point of Africa), then through South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt and Libya to Tunisia where we'll reach Ras ben Sakka, the northern most point of the continent. A bit of a ferry ride and a short drive later we'll be in the UK after traveling somewhere between 35,000 and 40,000km.

Excerpt from the diary: "Headed inland and within minutes and a few km the temperature had climbed from the cool 20's to the high 30's touching 40°C (104°F) within 30 minutes of leaving the coast. "
