Well we have now just returned to Australia after completing our
6 weeks trip from Nairobi, Kenya to Victoria Falls with a sojourn through Botswana and South Africa.
Camped on the shores of Lake Malawi, Malawi
It was an amazing trip and my wife rates it our best yet. From the 4500km 4WD drive, to sampling one of africa's best restaurants in The Test Kitchen, to the stunning views and wines of the Cape Town Region, to our final 1100km drive in the Kruger Region it was a lifetime full of memories.
If you are considering a similar self-drive trip 4WD, then my advice is to go for it! My planning post is in the Africa Sub-forum, and I will write up a post-trip report soon.It was an amazing trip!!! From the 4500km 4WD drive, to sampling one of africa's best restaurants in

The wildlife was amazing and included experiences such as:
* Being within 10m of two rhinos while on foot
* Being only 5m away from two mating lions
* Being only 10m away from 3 male lions with a fresh kill of an antelope with 3 jackals circling them
