We have just returned from a six month self drive overland trip through East Africa. The trip was centered around most of the National Parks/Reserves in the countries/areas we travelled to.
We ran a blog site during the trip and any members who would like to read the blog may do so on http://www.gsin2africa.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. If during the course of your reading you wish to ask some questions on the route, vehicle, road/campsite/national park conditions, please feel free to do so.

Re: East Africa -- Six Month Trip
Hi again Greg, and welcome to the forum!
I see you didn't have any hassles posting the blog.
That's an epic trip you undertook there! Like the way your van is rigged out!

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
