After 3 hours sleep and a 4am rise we finally made it to the airport on our way to Rwanda (via Sydney, Johannesburg, Dar Es Salaam and Nairobi – yes, we probably could have scheduled a more direct route but it’s all part of the adventure).
The next 6 weeks will be epic, if all goes according to plan we’ll be trekking with the mountain gorillas, volunteering in a community in Uganda, spending 2 weeks on safari in a Kenya and Tanzania (taking in Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, Masai Mara and all sorts of other stuff) then Closing it out with a lazy beach week in Zanzibar and Chumbe Island (seriously, look it up!).
Unlike last year’s trip to Borneo I’ll be taking the full camera kit so I’m hoping to come back with a swag full of great images. I’ll be making a limited number of prints available for purchase upon return so if you’ve got a wall that needs furnishing keep it in mind!
I’ve got no idea what Internet connection will be like over the next 6 weeks but I’ll do my best to blog some images and crazy stories, I’m travelling sans laptop so all this blogging and photo editing will be done on the iPad which is new and exciting.
I’ll sign off now as I’m onto my third serving of delicious Barossa red 30,000 feet above the earth somewhere between Sydney and Johannesburg and this inflight entertainment system isn’t going to watch itself.
I promise the next blog will have some cool photos.
