Earlier this year Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, the sons of the famous real estate king Donald Trump, went on a hunting expedition in Zimbabwe. A great deal of controversy arose when the Trump boys consented to shamelessly posing with their victims, among which were two buffalo, a Read more >
We arrived at another dam with one of those single track narrow bridges. This bridge had been built over a section of the dam where a farm road always ran before the dam was built. It is a dry part of the country with a lot of farming so water is required. This is the daily blog from Read more >
We obviously spent too long on this bridge as there were so many pictures of it, but it was a good place to stop and relax. We wondered what the Free State riding would bring? the next stop would be a place called Luckhoff. This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com. A short series on the Read more >
Once we had ridden through all the long and flat roads to reach the Skurweberg pass, it was time to climb up and get onto the plateau higher up as we moved in-land. Looking at ridge it didn’t seem to daunting, but once we got going it turned out to be an excellent ride up and quite steep Read more >
We never quite did get used to all the recent rain water in the semi-desert and had to keep stopping once we found any!

Occupying 6% of the land of Nairobi, residents of the area reside in mud shacks averaging about 12 ft by 12 ft in size, with little to no access to electricity, Read more >
This place starts putting life around you into context. It makes you feel just how small and insignificant we are as humans in the universe. This place shows you just how lonely we could be should we choose to live in wide open places like these. See the house in the middle of no-where. It was Read more >
It is just one of those things, when you see water in the semi-arid desert it is an event. So we stopped and took in the surrounds. Even after all the flowers we had seen till now, which implied the most rain in the previous months for 30 years, it had still not dawned on us just how much water Read more >
