Round trip: from the Cape to Victoria Falls
My adventurous journey through the southern part of the African continent began in Cape Town. On my tour I travelled through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. On arrival in Cape Town I was already awaited by a driver who took my luggage and brought me to my accommodation, Dale Court Guesthouse.
East Africa experience
Tanja Ruppenthal travelled to Tanzania and Zanzibar and took part in an overland tour through Kenya to the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. At the end of January my eventful journey through East Africa began at Frankfurt airport. Tanzania – with the island of Zanzibar – Kenya, Uganda and also Rwanda were on my itinerary.
Group tour through Zambia/Malawi and self-drive tour through Mozambique
My annual Africa trip took me this time to the less touristically developed countries of Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. On 12 September the South African Airways plane took off in Frankfurt to bring me via Johannesburg to Livingstone in Zambia.
Great East Africa
My tour started on 18 February with the Ethiopian Airlines flight from Frankfurt via Addis Ababa to Kilimanjaro Airport. On approach to the airport it suddenly broke through the cloud cover – Kilimanjaro.
