Africa 2023: Welcome Family and Friends

Welcome family and friends. Via this website and blog, join me and Nancy, and occasionally company, on an overland safari of sub-Saharan Africa, beginning in Capetown, South Africa in May 2023 and ending in Nairobi, Kenya in September 2023 for this first leg of a multi-year African overland journey. On this journey, I will share pictures, videos and personal observations of the landscapes, cultures and wildlife encountered along the way in the format of a travel blog – and I may even wax philosophical on occasion. My intent is to share with you a little of what I observe and learn about the landscapes, wildlife and people (so, it may have an educational tone at times – sorry), but also show you some of the everyday practical aspects of my overland travel (e.g., campsites, food, etc.) so that you can see what my life is like on this overland trip.  Feel free to comment and share your views on any of the postings via the comment link following each posting.

Because I will be in remote locations much of the time without Wi-Fi or Cellular service, don’t be alarmed if you don’t hear from me for several days – I haven’t been eaten by a lion (I hope), I am just on safari having a great time! It will likely be a few to several days between each posting, but I will do my best to keep you up to date on my travel.
