Victoria Falls serves as a turning point for our tour. We exit Southern Africa and cross into East Africa, which we expect to be the most challenging portion of our 100-day adventure.

We said goodbye to some members of our tour yesterday at Vic Falls, who had signed up for only the eight day Jo-burg to Vic Falls stretch.

Among them were Erik and Beathe from Norway, friends we happened to make at our hotel bar a number of days before this tour started. We became fast friends, trading emails after an hour or so and committing to visiting them on our to-be-rescheduled Norway trip.

Funny enough, we found ourselves sharing a city tour of Johannesburg a couple days later, and then again found them on this Nomad tour. Great people! We’re looking forward to seeing them again.

A new “family”

While we lost some folks at Vic Falls, we also gained a number of new ones. Most here are en route to Nairobi, Kenya, though we skip out a few days earlier at Dar-Es Salaam in Tanzania.
