All the best to you and Steve. regards Shelley.

Oh well, layers of clothes here we come 🙂 Go well on the next leg of your journey, and stay safe ❤ Lots of Love xxxxx
Hi There, I saw a post on FB by Margie Ball (the Ball’s are friends of ours) I am being transferred to Nairobi for about 6 months and am seriously ‘thinking’ about driving there. I have a Ford Everest 4×4 and have done some local trips in SA and to Bots. I would have about 5 weeks to plan the trip, this would include fitting r/rack, and some other stuff.
Question is – do i have enough time? I would be driving alone (Brother in law may join me – also an off road nut). My route would be Cape Town to Gabs (sister lives there), up to Caprivi in Nam (visit my old SADF bases there) cross into Zambia at Wenela and head to Livingston – after that i have no idea!
Enjoying the blog!! Travel safely further!!
Thanks
Steve Farmer
Hi there,
Difficult question to answer. What I can tell you is that I spoke to a fellow South African today in Dar es Salaam and he is from Durban. He and his daughter took 5 days to drive to Dar but on some days they did 1000km. If you have followed our blog you should have got an idea of the roads and driving conditions in Zambia and Tanzania. It would also depend on how you drive. If you take the north road out of Zambia you will not have to enter Malawi.
Regards
Steve & Lesley
