Yesterday, we arrived safely in Manyara and settled in for the night under a stunning Tanzanian sky. Today, we’ve been tackling an epic 600km stretch across Tanzania, bound for Iringa. The landscapes have been nothing short of spectacular. We’re excited for what still lies ahead!

Howdy Zambia! The Nomads have ‘landed’. May the open roads lead to hidden gems, the skies bless us with endless blue, and the memories we craft be as vast as the horizon. 🤝
Postcards from Lake Malawi. Waking up to the serene lull of waves and soaking in the quietude. A tale of adventure, peace and the simple joys of Nomad life.

On our way to Mbeya from Iringa, we met the ‘crazy’ Japanese adventurer, Gump Suzuki, currently crossing Africa on foot with his rickshaw! His journey is pure adventure and unbreakable spirit. There’s truly no excuse not to explore - just guts and a lot of determination!

After the frustration at the border, we settled into our first Malawian campsite in Chitimba and it was worth the wait. The serene lakeside, breathtaking sunsets and warm campfires melted away the day’s frustrations. These are the little moments that remind us why we journey.

We are obsessed by this place!
Lake Logipi.
One of the most beautiful places in the world and Kenya, yet located in the one of the most inhospitable places.
The region has been called the "last great frontier". It's almost inaccessible and brutal (due to the heat). 1️⃣

Malawi - Songwe Border was a test of patience. Waited for 8 hours as we fought to get our documents processed. This frustrating experience is a stark reminder of the challenges of inter-African travel. As Africans, we should be able to move freely across our beautiful continent.

When the views are this epic, you just have to take to the skies. As we glide over the Falls, the sight of the Zambezi cascading down is pure magic. You’re not just seeing the Falls; you’re living them. This is a moment that stays with you long after the chopper lands.
Mosi-oa-Tunya - ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ a.k.a Victoria Falls - comes alive. The sheer power of the Falls, mist rising like smoke and the thunderous roar remind us of nature’s raw beauty. This is why we journey, to find the breathtaking, the unforgettable.

There's something magical about floating down the Zambezi at sunset. The colours of the sky blend into the water and everything just feels right. The laughter shared, the quiet reflections and just the simple joy of being here.

Not all heroes wear capes; some wear grease-stained shirts and crawl under cars. It hasn’t been all smooth sailing, our rigs decided to give us a crash course in roadside mechanics. But hey, what’s an overland adventure without a little drama? Keep calm and carry a spanner 🔧
