After a long year of work and studying, we are getting back into travel mode. Our newest adventure takes us to Africa for a 40 day overland journey that will have us camping our way through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa. After we will spend 5 days in South Africa and then we will head back to Europe where we will spend 3 days with our friends in the Netherlands and 3 days with our friends in Berlin. It's going to be a crazy summer, but who knows when we will get this kind of time again? ... full info

Well you are in Asian leopard cat country. Wouldn't it be cool to see the foundation wild cat of the Bengal breed in the wild?

Good read
So that's a true monsoon. Looks like we've been exaggerating our coastal rains. The river looks spectacular, like Hagwilget Canyon near Hazelton BC. You must be walking in headwater country. And it looks like Nepal, like Canada, has water. Nice layout in your blog. I like the balance of text and images, and easy navigation. Engaging. Thanks for sharing your travel stories, dd
