Sometimes I wonder if we truly appreciate how fortunate we are to live on a continent where adventure is on everyone’s doorstep and around every corner. Fortunately for my wife and I, this is how we were raised by our respective parents and a love for the outdoors was instilled in us from a very young age. Camping, fishing, hunting, overlanding, beach holidays, hiking and even the occasional lodging… it was as if our parents colluded to raise us for each other.
However, there is also the reality of life and making ends meet. This, for most, makes it impossible to be free all the time and often we get consumed by the proverbial real world. Thankfully, our spirit of adventure, mixed with the grace from the Almighty, afforded us as a family the opportunity to work and live in the beautiful country of Malawi for the past four years. Malawi is not just the warm heart of Africa, but also the passage between South and East Africa. Living here just fires that passion for travelling the region!
Regular trips down to South Africa, our home country, has become the norm and we prefer driving over flying. Unfortunately, as for many, this passion was slightly dampened by the Covid-19 pandemic. It did, however, give us the opportunity to properly explore Malawi. However, as soon as the borders were reopened, we were eager to get on the road again.
Since we were hungry for an adventure and had the time, we wanted to take the long way
