And here’s a short montage video someone on our tour made for his students—focusing on the first few days of the East Africa portion of our tour—using a 360 camera. And if you missed it, here’s more on the overlanding truck we used:

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.

I bought an MGD—my dad’s old favorite—on the first day of our safari, with the intention of paying homage to him on Christmas here at Victoria Falls. So after carting this can around the African bush for a week, Jen & I found an appropriate spot to enjoy it, and pour some out.
🍻 To Norm! 🍻🇿🇼
