[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!
Back to Reality
We rolled into a chilly Joburg on Saturday afternoon, in desperate need of a shower, some clean clothes and a long overdue afternoon nap. Who says three weeks of holiday is easy? Kev has really surprised us on the trip, returning an average of 15km per litre, no flat tyres, no mechanical difficulty and besides … Continue reading
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
Kev on a ferry!
We pushed on from Lusaka to Livingstone to get an early jump on the border at Kazangula the following day. We arrived at the border post to find masses of people, long lines of trucks, road works and hundreds of money changers! Luckily we found a kind gentleman who, for a small fee, helped us … Continue reading

After an incredible day and half in Monkey bay we made our way over to Senga bay (about a 2 hour drive) to make the next check point. As we have learnt, the Put Foot guys don’t hold back at the check points and the food and party that is laid on is always madly … Continue reading
The Sensible One
On our first stop in Lusaka we said goodbye to Amanda, the sensible one. She had to get back to varsity and work. We made a few rules to keep safe on the trip, like no night driving. African roads are full of people, animals,crazy truck drivers and bicycles. Not 4 hours after her flight … Continue reading

This post does not need many words…the following pictures should give you some vague idea of our insanely special Lake Malawi is:
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
