Another consolidated border crossing where you do everything on the opposite side. In this case as we were going from Tanzania to Rwanda you go over to the Rwanda side which includes a rather nice crossover in the roads as…

Yeah Oompa Loompa orange. The driving along the Tanzanian road construction and a temporary road until we got to the perfect new tar. The hair did return to normal old man grey.

Quite a difficult border. I have no idea how long this will be good for as the border is being consolidated into one building. At the moment its a mess with Malawi in the old building at their side and…

A short drone shot of the camping at the Mushroom Farm in Malawi showing you how close you are to the edge. It took three or four attempts because of the trees to get the drone to go straight out…

A trip down the s103 down the hill from mushroom farm through all the switchbacks (hairpins) which are very tight. It’s quite well maintained considering the storm damage that must have been caused by Freddie.

What are the things on the back of the car you ask. Actually not just on the back of the car but all over the car and no it’s not some type of new airbag system. I have no doubt…

Very nice little campsite call cool runnings run by somewhere a lot of military guys from the British army stay when they are doing training. 6,000 a night per person which is quite reasonable although it does have suicide showers…

Freddy did a lot of damage in Malawi and the lake is still high luckily this place has a beach which is quite high up and they rake it every day so it is perfectly smooth. We are at Ngala…

MABUYA Camp, Lilongwe, Malawi is closing down. The first time we were here was in 2012 on our first trip, it used to be called Kiboko Camp back then. We’re actually here in it’s last week of survival it’s been…

We have known for some time that we would eventually need to convert Henrietta from right hand drive to left hand drive. In fact, we had been saving up for it, and my father gave us some money many years…

So after much efforts and using Chat GPT we’ve fixed the blog so hopefully from now on we can start blogging more. I’ve moved the blog from Weebly to WordPress since Weebly was an absolute nightmare and the pricing was…

We just love Malawi. Spending days on the crystal clear lake with loads of fish in the water and fantastic weather. It’s got the best sunsets in the world.

So as the final part of conversion to a Left Hand Drive Motor Caravan the expert conversion company switched us over. However a few niggles which were subsequently diagnosed remained. Considering about 65% of the world is LHD it’s been…

The Namibian side is easy. Fill in the departure form which you might need to request from behind the counter if there are no forms out at the back. Get stamped out. Its that simple. You should get the RFA…
