Where the heck did I go for 11 months? And what else can you read about my trip?

I'm assuming some of you will be curious about the 1st question. And only my hardcore fans will care about the 2nd question (hi, Mum! x.)

I started off volunteering for a month at Thanda Private Game Reserve in South Africa. I then went hiking in search of lemurs in Madagascar for 2 weeks. And then I lost the plot and went overland from the UK to Cape Town to Cairo. I was supposed to get off in Cape Town but decided, what the hell, I may as well keep going for another 3 months and finish off the trip.

For those of you who have been finding it a bit hard to follow exactly where I went, this is the route we travelled on our Oasis Overland 40 week 'Trans Africa' trip.


The next Trans trip is actually starting on 10 November 2013 so feel free to book here! Our trip took a slightly different route as we went through Mali instead. You can see more details of our West African route here (thanks to Guber!)

For the fans(!)...

Photobooks on my Oasis Overland 40 week adventure are yet to come. They are going to take some time...!

And I am desperately trying to get a hold of the Nigerian News segment from my Nigerian Government friends. Now that is some coverage...Stay tuned...
