Here we are, ready to start our bicycle tour through Eastern and Southern
Africa. Ingrid is in the centre and Bob is on the right. We flew Gulf Air
(very nice) to Kampala, Uganda via Muscat. The purpose of our tour
was two fold: first to experience the great African outdoors and its people
and secondly, to have fun. We chose bikes so we could go where and
when we wanted. Besides, you get a much better feel for the country and
more interaction with the locals while travelling at a slower pace.
The tour was to take 3 to 4 months for the 5000 or so kilometres from Kampala
to Jo'burg. What follows is a very very brief description of our journey with 15 more pictures in total.
