Greetings from Africa Here is our blog for Mozambique, which has been one of our favourite countries so far. The first thing that hits you about the country is the size of it! And north of the Zambezi river how un-touched by tourism it is. The country is very different between north and south with the south being close to South Africa and much more setup for tourism. Mozambique is the only country that the British did not at one time rule or have as a protectorate so it had a much different feel to it because of the Portuguese influence [View Full Entry]

OK ... the DRC ... wow Let me just start with the journey I have been on to reach this country... It all started on Monday the 16th of November... Actually I'm backing up to late Sunday afternoon when I finally organized a ride to Joburg. I found out that there was this guy travelling to the airport in Joburg Monday afternoon and he was willing to take me with him for free ... pretty good start right? ... give it a day or two So after some hasty goodbyes Monday morning I was off through the fog, rain, and one [View Full Entry]

one of our co-hosts at our B&B in Ouaga.
After a week in Burkina Faso we need to post a blog as there is so much to tell and show. We have almost 400 pictures from the past several days, way too much to include on a blog. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and while I believe that to be true, our pictures however still do not truly capture our experience. It is very difficult to describe Africa, and our experiences. So an extra long blog follows, and together with the pictures, hopefully provide a glimpse of a totally unique experience: Nadine’s mother (Marie) met us [View Full Entry]

Tanzanian Plant Life
Tanzanian Plant Life
The Secret Tanzanian Plant Life that no one has yet explored and documented so extensively for artistic purposes.
Ive been up to a personal project recently and i have been moving to different places in the outskirts of Dare salaam inside the beautiful mysterious valleys probably unknown to the rest of the world. And what i was doing was pretty unusual, yes really unusual for a Tanzanian to do this, and i was simply looking for plants that are uniquely found and flourishing in Tanzania. Since i started the photographing stage of the Plant Life In Tanzania project i have been curiously keeping my attention to the gold mine that is found in the plants and flowers that flourish [View Full Entry]

The best is yet top secret.
I have been to this valley recently, its a pretty good place to take my mind of in Daresalaam. This seems to be like an ancient riverbed or some kind of lake, i don't know yet but ill find that out soon and what seems to be interesting about this place is the natural way that the people live in this particular valley in such a way that i feel right at home when i cross. when you start to descend to walk at the bottom the first thing you notice is the peace and then you realize that you are [View Full Entry]

Secret Plant Life Diaries

It has been awhile! Africa has been keeping me busy busy busy. My trip to kruger national park was fantastic and eventful. It was about a three hour drive in the safari vehicle we took. We stopped about halfway in Hoedspruit to get food for the two braai(bbq as we would say). So I got some chicken. Excited to get some protein after being a little protein deprived. After being lucky on our first drive getting to see a hyena (spotted by me I am proud to say!). We saw all the basics the first day as well (zebra, giraffe, rhino, [View Full Entry]

Nov 16th & 18th Africa » Tanzania
Nov 16th Wow, what an interesting couple of days. Out first full day in Arusha was awesome, we slept in a bit but everyone in the house is used to being up and out the door at the crack of dawn so it was too loud to stay in bed too long. There was modest but decent breakfast waiting for us and once we ate we decided to walk into town. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the downtown area and all along the way people were yelling to us ‘mambo’ ad other Swahili phrases that we didn’t [View Full Entry]

Egypt, El Gouna, November 2005 Africa » Egypt » Red Sea
El Gouna is a resort 22km north of Hurgada. It is actually a hotel - town owned by an orthodox Copt Samih Sawiris, one of the richest people in Egypt. It is striking and very artificial, real Truman’s Show. The beauty is in a system of canals that cut into the sand and make up private beaches to colourful, low, traditionally designed houses. Desert is transformed into oasis by using irrigation device made of dented tubes encircling each tree (supposedly invented by a Serbian engineer, as we were told by a Kontiki tourist guide). We picked up Tamara in El Dahar [View Full Entry]

Giftun Island can be reached by many tourist boats taking off from Hurgada in less then an hour. The sand is really white and water magic. And we did lot of snorkeling along the coral reefs too. The area is protected and construction forbidden, but there are too many tourists for my taste. Luckily the stay on the Island is limited so they don’t manage to disperse and make more damage, but being here alone must be something special. [View Full Entry]
