I spent six years over various stages of my misguided youth in Africa, living in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and South Africa and traveling to 11 other countries while I was there. It's a special place for me, a second home, and having the opportunity to return to Botswana and Zimbabwe after a long absence was one I could not miss. At the end of 2019 I spent a couple weeks revisiting places I'd been before and exploring others that were new to me.
Here are links to some write-ups of highlights from my trip. I'll post more as I publish them on my website, so if this is something you find interesting keep checking back on this thread. If you don't want to read all the narrative and just want to look at photos, I've posted some below.
Traveling through Africa in a 4x4 is some of the most rewarding time you can spend in your life. I'm grateful to have done so much of it and lucky to have survived all the adventures and close scrapes I've gotten into along the way. If you have the slightest interest in experiencing this for yourself, make it a priority and go there. It's worth it. I promise you.
