#Joburg2Kili Expedition
A week of meeting some incredible people on our journey from Livingstone to Lusaka
Since leaving Livingstone we have ridden over 500km in 5 days to get to Lusaka where we are now staying for a rest day at one of Gareth’s friends, Lawrence and Michelle, who have kindly let us stay with them for two nights. Our journey up north to Lusaka has been an incredible experience with…
Goodbye Botswana and Hello to an adventurous, action-packed 3 days in Livingstone, Zambia
Since our last update we have had an incredibly busy and action-packed few days. Our last day in Botswana was spent in Kasane (Chobe) where we ended off on a three-hour boat cruise with Thebe River Safaris. The river cruise takes you into the Chobe National Park on the Zambezi river where we saw elephants,…

We will obviously be following this schedule as much as possible but as we know with any Expedition things can always change but the number one goal is to get to Moshi…
A breeze of a ride, some unexpected luxury for the night & the long ride to Botswana
After a really tough ride on day 2 from Buffelspoort to Bakgatla Resort we were all praying for a wind-free day out on the bike. We left Bakgatla a little later than we would have liked to as some of the crew decided to go out for a quick morning game drive in Pilansberg Game Reserve…
