S & E Africa travel blog
 

Hello Hubb - the missus and I have been on the road for about four months. We have our own vehicle, bought in SA, and this time around we're driving from Southern Africa to East Africa and back. We're in Kenya now, so far so good!

We just got back from Turkana and will head to Uganda in the next few weeks. I have a blog, mostly for friends and family back home, but if anyone is particularly bored and wants to check it out, here it the most recent post: https://stuckinlowgear.com/exploring-lake-natron/

I'm running a few weeks behind on the blog, but so it goes.

Thanks to all the Hubb-ers and the fantastic information that is shared here, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the link - I appreciate how much work the blog is - keep it up please : )

Lots of good memories recalled.

I will do what I can!

New blog post is up. Do people want me to post updates as they come, or are people subscribing to the blog?

Also when we readers do set a favorite, sometimes we will forget to reopen.

Guess we all would like to get updates noted here at hubb too! beer

Stunning pictures!

Thanks

Next post is up, to Aberdare NP, Kenya

We are taking advantage of good wifi here and taking care of some business back home (taxes...). I'm just about ready to hit the road again!

Next post is up...

Next..to Turkana. I no nothing of motorcycling, but I think this area would be great riding.

Many thanks for the links,
It appears your living the dream,many of us can't...
Travel safe..

If you spend any time on the western shore then Eliye Springs is a great stop, and you can take a boat trip to Central Island National Park - probably the least visited NP in Kenya.

Next post is up... Lake Turkana! https://stuckinlowgear.com/lake-turk...national-park/

Thank you sir! We are doing our best :thumbup1:

We finished the Turkana leg of our trip, good stuff:

Great Report
 

A great report and we did nearly the same route on our route back to Spain and were by Lake Turkana August 2019 - one of the highlights travelling the East of Africa.

After much delay, the next post is up:

And another one, Western Kenya

Here we go - Uganda - Jinja, Sipi Falls and to Kidepo NP

https://stuckinlowgear.com/uganda-ha...ramoja-kidepo/

More Kidepo and also Murchison Falls NP.

https://stuckinlowgear.com/kidepo-na...ison-falls-np/

We loved Kidepo, more than the much more visited Murchison Falls National Park. Its a long haul to get up there, but I think worth it.

Of interest to HUBBers is that I believe you can ride motorcycles in all the Ugandan game parks, unlike most other parks in Africa.

Next blog post is up, deeper into Western Uganda: https://stuckinlowgear.com/ziwa-roya...rt-fortportal/

I forgot to mention (I think?) that the roads we drove in NW Kenya would be spectacular on a motorcycle. Specifically the Iten > Kabernet > Marigat road, as well as the Cherangani highway.

Next post on Uganda is up.

Next blog post is up. We bit the bullet (sort of) on gorilla trekking in Uganda. It was great, but if you don't have the $$ for it don't agonize over it too much for not going, you can do a LOT of traveling for the price of a gorilla permit.

A quick dash through Rwanda :

I think the Congo Nile Trail in Rwanda would make for some excellent Adv motorcycle riding.

Subscribed and loving your trip :thumbup1:

We’re looking to spend 3 weeks in Morocco in September

Thanks! We would love to travel Morocco in our own vehicle. Someday!

We drove the lakeshore road along northern Lake Tanganyika, and then the Bamboo Valley track inland north of Mahale. Super scenic, we also got stuck. Good times all around. New blog post about it is up.

We're headed back towards the easy(er) traveling of Southern Africa

Another blog post is up, into Botswana

https://stuckinlowgear.com/livingsto...thoutbookings/

Next post is up - more Botswana...

https://stuckinlowgear.com/baines-ku...aobab-nxaipan/

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do some exploration and unplanned travels in well trodden Botswana.

We are emerging from a very nice stretch in the bush. Now back to the hard work..blog posts! More coming soon, Here is the next one: https://stuckinlowgear.com/botswana-...u-island-nxai/

Next blog post is up: https://stuckinlowgear.com/kalahari-...botswana-ckgr/

This one is more Botswana. Next, some remote travel in NW Namibia, what a special place.

Into Namibia, with some technical difficulties:

To our regret we have actually finished our trip! The blog is lagging badly, but I will continue to post my various half done blogs and photos, hoping that it will help/encourage others to take the leap.

Pleasure to get more info about travels.

Next blog post is up - Savuti and Chobe NP in Botswana: https://stuckinlowgear.com/elephants...tswana-savuti/

next we go to Zimbabwe. I love Botswana, but it somehow isn't as interesting as Zimbabwe and other nearby destinations. Like Zim! Coming soon.

And we finally made it to Zimbabwe. We loved it here. This is just the first of, I expect, four more posts. Note there are some useful tips on money changing/paying for groceries and that sort of thing in this post.

Our visit to Chizarira National Park - https://stuckinlowgear.com/chizarira...ba-escarpment/

We had a nice visit, with a notable exception, to Matusadona National Park - then took the ferry to Kariba.
