This post does not need many words…the following pictures should give you some vague idea of our insanely special Lake Malawi is:
Magical Malawi!
Good bye Zambia (for now) and hello Magical Malawi. In the very short distance we have traveled after leaving Zambia yesterday morning, Malawi has managed to bathe us in her charms! The roads are good, more open, the landscape is beautiful and even the police check points seem nicer somehow (the police are more like … Continue reading
Running Repairs
We woke up on the morning of the 27th to find Kevin looking very sorry for himself with a more than sagging roof rack. It had probably been broken for a while with us blissfully ignorantly driving along – lalalalalala…life is golden….lalalalala. But with some bad roads ahead we needed to get things fixed up … Continue reading
Route Change
As the rally moves across some amazing countries and landscapes, its has come as sad news that one of the checkpoints has been changed. Announced yesterday by the Rally Chief, we will unfortunately not be sampling some 2Ms and R & R’s on the beaches of Mozambique due to some political unrest along a portion … Continue reading
The Smoke that Thunders
Between the shoe drop and the checkpoint party (numero dos) we got to go see Victoria Falls! Many kinds of impressive.

We met them at Ndhovo River Lodge in Namibia while sitting on the deck looking out onto the beautiful Okavongo River! One of the greatest things about this rally has been meeting cool people along the way, from all over the … Continue reading
Check Point 1 – Done!
A tired Kev and team pulled into Toshari Lodge at about 3 on the 21st. 1900 long, dusty km’s down, 7100 to go. We all pitched our tents on a thin strip of grass next to a walk way. 60 crews, not much space. The sundowners started early, apparently the drive was thirsty work for … Continue reading
Camping in a car
Not just for the sake of alliteration! Pete and Amanda’s mattress got a puncture in the night and brought to an abrupt end the string of four nights of camping in a tent. Camping has been fun and rekindled all the childhood memories but when you are on the move and constantly setting up and … Continue reading
