Introduction

Why drive across Africa you may ask? Bloody good question & one that Clare is still asking! In a nut shell it is something Graham has wanted to do since he left Kenya aged 9, so it was inevitable that at some point we would do it, and now is the time. We have spent the last year preparing our vehicle and trying to learn all we can about the journey ahead. We start from our home in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire on the 15th January 2007 and head for Durban in South Africa, some 12,000 miles or so across 21 countries, hoping to arrive in time for Xmas 2007.

Not only will this site serve as a diary of our day to day lives while traveling across this harsh, but beautiful continent, it will hopefully also offer some inspiration and useful information to anyone out there who is thinking about taking on something similar or encourage friends and family to join us for a leg!
