- Itinerary and route planning
- Maps and places of interest
- Car hire options
- Accommodation
- Currency
- Safety and Security
- Border Crossings

There are various resources around the site on these topics and more. If you’d like to view our personal photographs of the various wildlife we encountered then start on the wildlife page. Our day-to-day experience is documented through a series of blogs which you can find here. Otherwise check out our hints and tips which contains all the nuggets of information we wish we knew before travelling.
Lastly, all photos are ours, it really was that great!
