what it says on the photo
Dear traveller, On that placard where Gen.Omar al-Bashir, some other figures as well as a full map of Sudan are depicted the following are said At the top it is written "Al-Istiqlal", which means "Independence". The next line says "Watanu Waheed....Sha'abu Waheed", which means "One Fatherland...One Nation". This placard is probably a propaganda text which emphasized the unity of Sudan against separatist tendencies emanating from the south.

Is you still alive? Just like Bob here, I also spent a few hours and would love to know what happened. It's been 3 years!

Fucking hell
came across your blog and havent done a thing at woork for the last 4 hours! I love travelling as well and just cant get enough of your experiences. I especially love that bit about "life changing experiences" that people have when they pay through their noses. So so true.

So what is the ending
I ran across your amazing blog and spent hours reading it from Isreal to Malawi...not quite as hard as riding a bike that distance! However, your tale just stops here at July 7, 2007 although it was published in November 2008. So did you meet up with Jess? Did she accompany you all the way to Cape Town? Did you make it to Cape Town? You have to finish the story. Good grief it's July 2009 now.

perfect timing to me finding your blog just as I'm about to leave for Uganda for a rather short visit. I'm thinking that I will want to spend more time there in the future and could imagine myself experiencing things much as you did. Oh, but I'm a woman and will likely have an entirely different set of experiences. At the same time, good people are good people. Traveling requires a bit of trust.

Hi Ben, I think your blog is fantastic. The way you describe things, and the little things that you notice about life and people really create an atomsphere and help me relate to your experience and trip. Delighted for both you and Jess, that she's okay. Best of luck with the rest of your trip. Hope the last part is the best part.

Saw your story while surfing around and it was very inspiring, and I also love your writing style. The honest content and character more than made up for the insignificant spelling errors that others foolishly griped about. Keep up the good work.

A Great Read
Was worried that our blogs were too long... untill I read yours! Fabulous read though, quite forgot where I was for a minute there. Makes me want to go back to Africa all over again. Thanks for sharing a brilliant adventure.

Amazing - thanks for writing this. It's been long enough I've forgotten some of the awe and adventure from that trip. And your experiences solo in Zambia are just phenomenal. As always, looking forward to more. Hope you're doing well. --A

Info. for Fellow Travellers
Your journey from Kampala to the Rwanda border is remarkable by the fact that you don`t mention the names of the small townships you stopped and spent nights. Apart fro Fort Portal, Kasese and Kisoro, you just rant about "shitty" hotels, without mentioning the names of the towns. You even never told your readers that the tree climbing lions are found in Ishasha Game Reserve. How about Lake Edward? And the name of the border crossing to Rwanda? All in all, your blog does not help other people who intend to follow your footsteps

Avi
Just started reading your blog, as I'm planning to go to Tanzania and take the MV Liemba to Zambia. I met Avi; we volunteered at a game reserve together in South Africa in October 2006 and his next stop was Tanzania. He and I also disagreed about Israel. He overheard (a drunken) campfire conversation in which I compared Zionism to Apartheid and the next morning said that "certain people were ignorant and didn't know what they were talking about." I think he meant me. Despite that, I liked him too. He had just come off his army service and seemed pretty traumatized by it, though he hid this well. Interesting guy, amazed to see him mentioned in after such a random search for that old ferry boat!
