PATCHWORK HILLS + A TRACK TO REMEMBER

  HELLO + WELCOME as we drive across three continents. It’s Kirsty here today, let’s go.     Before we managed to reach Uganda we spent a self-imposed ‘weekend’ doing some housekeeping. We pulled out the fridge and gave it a good clean and tightened up the bolts. Washed our curtains. Dusted everything. Backed-up everything. […]

Spotting a rapper […]

LIVINGSTONIA, SPIDER BITES + STAR TRAILS

  HELLO + WELCOME as always. It’s G here today carrying on from my last post on North Malawi.     We left Chitimba Camp and headed up into the Nyika foothills  to a scenic place called Livingstonia. A town founded by Scottish missionaries in the 19th century. A steep drive up a mountain through a series […]

NORTH MALAWI : A VIKING, COWS + CHEESY MOONS
