Here we go. In some 13 hours I'll be jumping on a plane with James and Wookie, some 25 or so hours later we'll be landing in Jo'burg. At the moment I can't really conceive what it's going to be like. After 10 months of solid focus on work and resettling into Brisbane, it's hard to get my head around travelling again.

I'm thinking it's going to be different. Very very different to anywhere I've been before.

Anyway, speculation aside, here is the rough plan for the next 7 weeks:

Arrive Jo'Burg.
Leave. Straight away (ok, maybe the next day), but we plan to head off asap for Kruger.
After a few days (5?) in Kruger, head for the Mozambique, Maputo and the coast.
I'm hoping to spend a while here in Tofo and some other placed.
After this the next stop is Malawi, possibly Mount Malanje then work our way up north.
From Malawi onto Tanzania and New Years in Zanzibar (woot!).
Soon after that we'll be heading in the direction of Uganda, at which point my part of the journey comes to an end and I fly back to Jo'burg then back Brisbane.

It's going to be an amazing trip and I can't wait to see how it pans out. Stay tuned.
