Hi there, I have now had a few days to settle back at home. Clothes are washed and back in the cupboard, equipment stowed in the garage, the vehicle thoroughly washed and cleaned, and some quiet time to reflect on the adventure I have taken. This was my first proper overlanding trip, 8 days in...

The Great Zimbabwe ruins - a special place to visit, as I try to understand this very different country called Zim. - the only place I could make a resemblance to is Venezuela, both considered rouge states but passionately supported by large sections of their population. Even a rouge state, I...

Crossed the border into Zimbabwe this morning - the Eastern Highlands are beautiful...and quiet, was the only person visiting the nature reserve today, all to myself!

When it rains in Moz., it really pours - the gravel roads I used just the day before turned into a river...

The indigenous forest around Catapu is beautiful to explore, with soft sand trails, endless vegetation and butterflies all round.

Stormy skies beginning to form over the Zambezi, near Mary Moffat's resting place, a special place to visit.

By the Zambezi is also the grave of Mary Moffat Livingstone - a quiet end to an extraordinary life story - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activity-and-adventure/Mary-Livingstone-in-the-footsteps-of-the-other-explorer/

The next day we arrived at the mighty Zambezi river. It is so wide in places, one must see it get a sense of its might. Two things are immeduateky apparent when you get here: 1) It's reallly hot and humid - already 34C/93F at 10h30 in the morning with close to 100% humidity; and 2) For every...

...but we got here overlanding!

Mount Gorongosa - the dominant feature in this region of Moz., it decides the climate, rainfall and being the source of four rivers who replenish the Gorongosa National Park. It is also the headquarters of Renamo, the Mozambiquan opposition and former rebels (with a dubious human rights record)...

A beautiful holiday time in Vilonculos and the Bazzaruto Archipelego. Some of the best diving spots I have ever seen, dolphins swimming close by in the lagoon and desert islands to explore...

The long sand road from the edge of the Kruger National Park (Pafuri) to Vilanculos is a wild and remote experience - long stretches of sand roads with no apparent purpose, small villages in the middle of nowhere and great Baobab trees...

On the banks of the Limpopo river, had a nice dinner with Richard and hid two kids, who are on their way to Zimbabwe. Richard's sister, Sara, is is a very active member of DriveMoz, answering the many questions of this 30 000-strong community of fellow travelers. The quiet nature of this place...

All trips out of the city begin with something like this....I went through seven toll-gates on my way to the Kruger National Park today. I wish I could see maintenance done with our hard-earned tax money to the N1 highway north of Makhado (Louis Trichart), this main artery to our northerly...

Hi t Hi there, it's now about halfway through our adventure. My wife Elit joined me for the past eight days in the beach town of Vilancolus. The diving here is one of the best I have ever seen, very relaxed setting. On Thursday, I head north towards Mount Gorongoza and the Zambezi river. A few...
