Africa
Africa is one of the most raw and fascinating continents on the planet. A place where lions and elephants from free. Where tribes and traditions still exist as they have from thousands of years. A landscape that’s as diverse as it is intimidating. This is Africa. Everyone should visit this continent at least once in their lives.

The journey from the town of Cuemba in Mozambique to the town of Zomba in Malawi was a very convoluted one. We took a small chappa from Cuemba to the border town of Mandimba where we were swarmed with men wanting us to exchange our money on the black market. We didn’t have very much to change ...

Ilha de Mocambique & Cuemba – The Last Few Days Of Mozambique
Nick and I were up early the next morning (of course) and were on our way to Mozambique Island. It was a very long, very bumpy ride in the back of a bus which played kung fu movies at an ear piercing level. The island is actually attached to the mainland by a long bridge ...

Pemba to Ibo Island, Mozambique – When Henny Met Henrik
We all woke up at 3:45 am and headed down to the bus station to catch the 4:30 bus North to Pemba. Each morning became harder to wake up as our bodies were slowly running out of fuel. We slept for most of the 10 hour bus journey but woke up every time the bus ...
