Denise and I have been planning this trip up to Kenya and back to South Africa for 2 years now, then suddenly with 3 weeks to go there is suddenly so much to finalise not helped by the need to get visa's for Sinead initially for Tanzania, Zambia, Kenya, Mozambique and Malawi and she is only a 15 months old Austrian citizen, only Zambia to date decided that it was not necessary for an infant which makes a lot of sense.
All our reservations are now confirmed, I might add that we have not had the travel gods on our side or should I say the exchange rate gods, a giggle moment by our No 1 citizen saw the Rand dive and we hope and pray that Madiba manages to hang in there as his passing is expected to further weaken the Rand, but we also pray he recovers, but the prognosis is not encouraging.
We have got our Carnet de Passage, basically our customs document to allow us to proceed through 7 borders; Botswana - Zambia - Tanzania - Kenya - Tanzania - Malawi - Mozambique - South Africa the round trip is in the order of 14000 kms.
Today we did a mock packing of our Prado and when we saw what space was left the ladies were told to cut back on their pants, shoes, make-up and the like, that is when you learn never to tell a woman to cut back on what they want to take on holiday.
