When planning a trip it is useful to get as
much information about where you are going as possible. As well as the
usual books and magazines we found other peoples websites to be a valuable
information source. We were a few months behind Viking and Chief and made
the most of some of their recommendations.
We have met a variety of other people during
our travels. Some were on short trips, others were on lengthy expeditions
and were writing of their adventures.
The following lists the websites of some people
we met and others that we have heard of.
The African Edventure is an expedition
from South Africa to the UK in a 1971 Series IIA Land Rover. With Laptop,
mini-M satphone, video, digital and stills cameras, the whole expedition
is aired in multimedia on the web site. Designed primarily as an Internet
based educational project for schools, the African Edventure is the webs
greatest Educational Adventure!
This is the website
of 'Viking & Chief' documenting their travels from the UK to South Africa.
They were a few months ahead of us and we found their site to be very useful,
in particular the places to stay.
This site covers their
journey from the UK to Cape Town. On the way they want to stop off in Uganda
to build a school / medical facility. Eventually they will be continuing
on to Perth.
