Very cool. I talked to tons of people in South Africa about their overland trips. I decided to save a really big one for a future adventure, but did enjoy my 5 days in Kruger Park and week in Botswana, both through Livingstone Trails.

Thanks - I just wrote whatever popped into my head. You gotta start by writing these things down if you want actually do them one day!

I did the overlanding thing in East Africa and have plenty of opinions on tour companies if you ever want some assistance! I've also written a few blogs on my experience under the African categories on my blog. And don't forget whitewater rafting in the Nile, too (Jinja, Uganda). So many of your items are my goals as well. Thanks for sharing!
