[VIDEO] Put Foot Rally Summary – TEAM AK
Check out this little video we put together…Just to give you an idea of the kind of terrain we covered in 18 days!
The Finish Line!
Team AK and Kev rolled into the finish line at Itumela Lodge in Palapye Botswana, not the beach in Mozambique but an equally awesome finish to a real African adventure! We were greeted at the finish line with a cold and well deserved beer, had our photo taken, set up the tents for the last … Continue reading
Last Night
We left Kasane and headed for Nata on Wednesday. Our progress was halted slightly by a herd of elephants crossing the highway! As you head down Botswana it gets drier and flatter, similar to what we experienced in Namibia a few weeks ago. We found a camp site near Nata and Kev got stuck for … Continue reading
The Pans
We took a trip onto the Makgadikgadi pan yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately Kev couldn’t join us as the roads get rather hairy. So we hopped into a landcruiser with our guide “KK” and headed off. The pans are flooded at the moment and will dry out again in Sept. We were treated to one of the … Continue reading
Kev on a ferry!

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
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
So challenging!
Travel in Africa, particularly Southern Africa is extremely challenging and uncomfortable! Check out the kind of conditions we have had to endure over the last 3 days – how we have managed I don’t know: We have been astounded by the presence of Protea Hotels in Southern Africa. While researching our Rally Route we realised … Continue reading
Shoe Drop
We spent our morning helping out with the Put Foot Foundation’s shoe drop at a small primary school in Livingstone. The morning started with a parade of all the put foot crew cars through the streets of Livingstone. The little mini lead the police escorted parade from the camp site to the school. We were … Continue reading
