Great stuff...

The overloaded truck, the telegraph pole in the middle of the road, fishing on the highway and "SOTP" are my favourites...

welll its not that scary - go to south for the party life and sun - east for the game - botswana / vic falls for the views

although it is beautifull - still a very tragic place

Been there

Lived in Zaire (before the revolution) for two years. The first year there, the inflation rate was 10,000 percent-that is not a typeo either. Your pictures brought back so many memories-good and bad. Africa is a beautiful place, well worth visiting.

lived in Lagos, Nigeria for two years. My Gramps lives there still, for most of the year.

I remember living in a compound, the American International School<which I traveled to by tugboat every morning> and god the riots. Being teargassed at 6 isn't a picnic.

Goslow!!

lol.
