- Day 81 – Finding Benjamin and Saving Joseph Benjamin Mibende had visited the Livingstone Museum yesterday morning. He had been present as we entered, in actual fact we had probably walked past him. Yesterdays sleuth pursuit had resulted in a phone number. By the time we had found Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 80 – Christmas Cards and BoozeWe visited the Livingstone Museum which was both fascinating and very well laid out. It taught us all about the cultures and history of Zambia and Africa as whole. A large section on David Livingstone including many original letters that Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 79 – Roadside Recovery Part Two For twenty kilometres from Sioma camp back towards Katima-Mulilo the new road was open. It was heaven, perfectly surfaced and brand new; the cambered road seemed to draw us back to Livingstone, but our dream road soon ended and we Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 78 – Ngonye Falls The aluminum hull of our boat broke the glassy water as the sun made easy work of tearing apart the storm cloud that had lingered above us all morning. The banks were made up of huge chunks of volcanic basalt Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 77 - Roadside Rescue There are another set of Falls two hundred and seventy kilometres west and then north west along the Zambezi. Livingstone had visited them two years before arriving at, well, Livingston and the then named Mosi Ao Tunya. It had been Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 76 – Devils’ Pool The following morning we still had belly ache from all the sugar we’d eaten the evening before. We had to make the most of our sugar levels as today we were visiting Victoria Falls. Entering the Falls we took the Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 75 – High Tea Laura loves her tea, but she especially loves 'taking tea'. Accordingly she has a nose for these things and she had discovered that one could take High Tea at The Royal Livingstone Hotel between three and five. What better way Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 74 – Team ZambeziOn gaining its independence in 1964, Zambia took its name from the great river that flows through it. Previously called Northern Rhodesia it had been another huge section of Henry Cecil Rhodes monstrous British South Africa Company. When in Zambia, Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 73 – Orphange FootballWe’d arrived in Livingstone in the late afternoon on the previous day. Police Engagement #6 had been easy, at a road block our smartly dressed attending officer had asked if we had organised all the papers we needed to at Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 15, 2011
- Day 72 – Into ZambiaThe Chobe River meets the Zambezi River at roughly the same place that four southern African countries meet. The border between Botswana and Zambia is bounded by the combined rivers, now known only as the Zambezi, and as a thing Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Dec 12, 2011
- LivingstoneSo it turns out I wasn't overthinking - but in a very un-reassuring turn of events, my gate guard forced open my lock within 5 seconds - it is good to see security is so efficient!!! As a result I Posted by eringroves in Erinzy's adventures... | Aug 25, 2011
- The road well travelledTaking a bus in Africa can apparently be a long and ardous task - this is not in relation to the distances travelled - more so that if you are on a timetable - do your research!!! It was very quickly Posted by eringroves in Erinzy's adventures... | Aug 24, 2011
- Wild times in LuangwaI'd been groggily drifting in and out of consciousness for most of the night. Despite being totally isolated from anything even approaching a town, this had not been a quiet evening. As the sun set, the hippos that had kept Posted by LucieP in A taste of freedom | Aug 23, 2011
- Zambia- A River Runs Through ItWe left Livingstone and headed to Zambia’s capital Lusaka via bus. Lusaka is pretty hard to avoid as all roads in Zambia lead to it. After spending some time there I have to say it wasn’t my favorite Posted by geldere in The Hostel Honeymoon | Aug 23, 2011
- Let the adventure begin...20/8/2011 Sitting at Melbourne International Airpot waiting to board a flight - the first of many - this one to Bangkok.

- Close encounters in LuangwaOoooooohgod, there's a frog in the tent, right on the bathroom door handle. And a scorpion spider. And god knows what else. Monkeys meters away. A hippo about 30 meters away. It's bellowing noisily. Earlier there was an elephant in Posted by LucieP in A taste of freedom | Aug 7, 2011

- Cruising in LivingstoneJambo! These words wing their way to you a few days after the event. I'm currently sat in the bar in the safari lodge. The light is soft. Nick is next to me perusing his wildlife book, as he does Posted by LucieP in A taste of freedom | Jul 29, 2011
- ChillaxToday we just chilled. We had wanted to go to Zimbabwe but there is a border fee, a park fee, and then another border fee to get back in. It would have been about $100usd so we decided not to. Posted by ChrissyShuh in Botswana 2011 | Jul 18, 2011
- Adventure DayWe got picked up early in the morning to do our elephant rides! We drove into the park. It is the five of us and then a couple who are on their honey moon. The elephants all started walking towards Posted by ChrissyShuh in Botswana 2011 | Jul 17, 2011
- Easy Soaring The overnight but was quite nice. I took some Ambien and just knocked myself out. We were on a huge tour style bus. I got a window seat which was nice. The bus was supposed to leave at 6pm but Posted by ChrissyShuh in Botswana 2011 | Jul 16, 2011
- African Adventure - Zambia and Zimbabwe7th July We reluctantly left Chobe National Park and Botswana and crossed a very dodgy ferry into Zambia. Pirates approached the ferry as we crossed the Zambezi and promptly removed several crates of beer from the back of the boat and Posted by Patrick H. in Patrick Hillman's Travels | Jul 11, 2011
- What do you mean there is no ferry this week??Apparently at some stage during the night the suspension on the truck had cracked. No one had noticed because to be honest it wasn’t doing a very good job in the first place. I guess with all the to-ing and Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 21, 2011
- Karonga to Mpulungu in a day... What was I thinking??Brandon and I knew we only had 24 hours to get from Karonga to Mpulungu if we were to make the ferry, so we were up early and at the matola stop on the western edge of Karonga by around Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 20, 2011
- Long day in the saddleThe three of us were keen to get an early start today so we had a quick cold shower – the first of many over the next few months – and headed straight for the bus depot. We had seen Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 7, 2011
