Overland on a truck, Kenya to Zimbabwe, cooking on fires and sleeping in tents in the bush or by the road, or what passed for roads. Great experience. Met 2 kiwi girls back packing. They didn't have too many problems except it always took longer to get anywhere. Even met a dutch girl on her push bike. We considered riding motorbikes but that didn't work out. Met some guys who were, their biggest problem was guarding the bikes 24/7 and they weren't allowed to ride though some of the parks.

I think it was Acacia, they were a bit budget but not bad. Big old yellow DAF truck. The driver was a Pom who had lost his own truck (& shirt) in North Africa when they got caught up in a civil war & had to abandon the truck & fly everyone home. We also had a guide but all he wanted to do was get to the next bar. This was in 1991.
