SHOULD I STOP THE SOLO OVERLAND EXPEDITION? |S2EP22|

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I'm still on the hectic and dangerous road between the busy town of Mazabuka and the principal tourism center of Lake Kariba: Siavonga. It's time for a break. I feel it psychologically. The driving, staying alert constantly, and the sadness of loosing all my writings about the solo expedition preparation, Rafiki's (my Toyota Hilux) build, and all my emotions and thoughts about it. It's an accumulation of things and I feel that my body needs to re-calibrate. I have to if I want to keep enjoying the solo expedition across Africa. So, I'm having a short break of a week in the quiet and peaceful town of Siavonga, directly on the lake. A short break from overlanding. I quickly notice that Siavonga is not as peaceful as mentioned just now. The human-wildlife conflict is real here. The economic crisis push more and more people into fishing, and even though lake Kariba is a man-made lake, it actually hosts one of the largest population of hippos and Nile crocodiles. Fishermen literally risk their life every single day. Some need a bath, and I could notice one having a swim in probably the most dangerous lake in the world! Scary but people need to know about it. There is no time to pretend here in Zambia, everything's real, and especially the value of life itself. I get to meet so many locals, I spend time with them, I talk to them, and I try my best to write as much as possible. Because Africa is teaching me so much, way more than all these oriented facts you have to learn at school. Africa is definitely where I learnt the most so far. Because Africa is REAL.
ENJOY

Our feelings are our most genuine paths.❤
Ma grande ,je me suis régalé .De gros bisous .....Ton granrd.
Merci grand 🙏🏽
I have not been to Lake Kariba in so long. As a small child it was a vacation spot we often went to. Always good to see it again from other travelers!🇿🇲
Oh so nice to read! I hope you can go back soon! 😊
When your happy I’m happy, When your sad I’m sad, When your scared I’m scared, When your grateful I’m grateful and on and on I’m with you girl all the way 👍👍👍👍👍
Your videos should be shown on Netflix, That’s how good they are. I’m not joking, They are amazing work of art.
I don’t think you realise just how incredible your videos really are. And it’s not just what we see that makes them so incredible it’s what we get out of them which comes from your heart. And that’s what we see on the screen.
So next time you feel down and sad and want to give up just think about what your videos are doing to people who watch them 😊
Coz that’s what it’s all about. That priceless love you give for all.
Thank you 💪
Tony!!! Thank you a thousand times!!! You just motivate me to share even more! That’s adorable!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙
extraordinary experience.
Losing your writing is a blow and your feelings are not silly. Pick up from here and send it to the cloud. I do hope you write a book as this adventure has been wonderful watching. Brings me such joy to see such beautiful places, people and wild animals. Thank you for being so generous and taking us with you.
Wow you almost made me cry!! Thank you for your support and wonderful words of kindness!! It means so much to me 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow Didn’t knew that you are a writer as well. Kudos 👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♀️
Do you write everyday 🤗😊
Big big tespect for you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A few weeks ago you were in my mother's homeland Sinazeze and now you're in my fathers homeland Siavonga!!
I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself there.❤
I read that is also not safe to swim along Lake Kariba's shallow shoreline due to the waterborne parasite bilharzia, and the high numbers of crocodiles and hippos. It's generally okay to swim further out in deeper water, so a quick dip from your houseboat is usually fine, amazing how they can make manmade lakes!
Exactly!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Mary! You’re awesome!
Why didn’t you buy the chicken???
The perfect road-trip companion!
Charline & Rafiki & Chicken !!!
C&R&C 🙋🏻♀️🛻🐓… My heart is broken because I did not see the adventures that you could have had with Chicken 😭😭😭
Really cool drone flight👌, but at the end I wondered how close to your face it was going?! 😳
It is still so sad you lost the writing, but it was so good that you took the break, and recognised you were healthy (at least you were at that point!) and Rafiki was enjoying himself in Africa. ☺️
I thought it was so funny that you were shouting instructions to the driver hauling the boat off the lake ! 😂 He waved back as if to say “Ok ok, crazy lady!”
The sun shining through the palm trees with the dark grey sky behind looked beautiful. And the sunset was so beautiful but wow the people there have such a hard life eh.
Wonderful video 👏👏👏
