Travel itinerary for Africa
December 7, 2004
No yellow fever for me woohoo, I’ve had enough of jabs for now although another thing is Bilhartzia. No doubt we will go swimming in Lake Malawi and as a precaution we have to de-worm ourselves - one dose of tablets 6 months after exposure.
I heard from roger today regarding our overland trip from Capetown to Malawi.
“So - a week on the garden route, long but fast haul through South Africa, Zimbabwe (maybe stop to see the great Zimbabwe national monument - an ancient sophisticated city ruin), and Mozambique and then a week in Malawi. Give you both more time to see Malawi - Vwasa (elephants and hippos), Lake ( I went diving last week end and thought you might like to do the same). Livingstonia (beautiful views and an exciting drive) and the village we visit (promised them a visit just after Christmas) and a look round Mzuzu an all that.”

Hi there. I live in Johannesburg and noticed the route of your trip. The garden route is very beautiful this time of year, as are the beaches just a pity about the crowds now that it's the holiday season.
Zimbabwe is also a lovely place to go. I went to Victoria Falls two years ago and was absolutely amazed.
Anyways, enjoy your trip. I'm sure you will.

Hello, I've been to Malawi before. I stayed a week or two... can't remember it was 10 years ago. I met the president, didn't understand a word he said, but kept saying "yes" in response anyway. Drank lots of fanta soda and bought lots of fabric to make dresses for my dolls. Good luck with all your traveling:)
