Thanks for reading Judith! You’re right about Paul Theroux’s negativity. I tried reading him ages ago, but put the book down as it was a little TOO pessimistic for me! Perhaps it would be worth having another go!

I appreciate this honest look at travel. Not all travel is idyllic and we need to remember this. Paul Theroux is a fine travel writer but always focuses on the down side (He was in the Peace Corps in Malawi).
Thanks for the infomative article.

Thanks a lot for writing, and for reading my blog! I’m glad grampa Les gave you my link.
As a matter of fact, we are hoping to head to Burundi, as we will soon be traveling North on Lake Tanganyika. Any advice on travel in your home country?

Hi Britanny.

Thanks for sharing your adventure and the beautiful pics you take. Your Grand Father Les is the one who talked to me about your blog. I told him that I am from a small country in Africa called Burundi and he was asking me if it was near victoria falls but told him that i finished my high school in Cape Town and i knew victoria falls as it is in Zimbabwe. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Africa and I will keep following up your blog.
