Day 40-44.: Freetown Peninsula
Február 28-Március 4.: Öt napot töltöttünk Conakryban a vízumok miatt, ami sokkal több volt, mint amit eredetileg terveztünk. Kezdtük elveszíteni a reményt, hogy Sierra Leonét és Libériát is meg tudjuk látogatni. Eszti testvére és volt osztálytársa Elefántcsontparton csatlakozott hozzánk, így volt egy fix dátum, amire a libériai határ melletti Man városába kellett érnünk, hogy találkozhassunk. Read more

10 days in Guinea Conackry
We spent ten days in Guinea: five in the northern Fouta Djallon region and five in the capital, Conakry. Guinea is one of the most challenging countries to travel in Africa—roads are riddled with potholes, progress is slowed by heavily overloaded trucks, and accommodation is often disproportionately expensive for the quality offered. Despite all this, Read more

A week in Guinea-Bissau
We spent about a week in this small country, about which we didn’t know much in advance, as there were very little information available online. Looking back, what’s certain is that because of the road conditions and the fact that so many beautiful things are located far from the capital and on the islands, we Read more

Day 174-177: Kruger National Park (South Africa)
July 12-15: Leaving Zimbabwe turned out to be even more complicated than entering. Upon arrival, we were given a QR code that had to be scanned in nine different steps. About half of these steps involved paying some kind of fee (for example, nearly 30 dollars as a border usage fee). Zimbabwe really drained our Read more

3 weeks in senegal as a backpacker and 1 week with a car
We visited Senegal for the first time in February 2023, just for a vacation. Adam and I spent two weeks traveling along the route Toubab Dialow-Bandia National Park-Mar Lodge-Saint Louis-Lompoul-Dakar, then I took a bus to Casamance, Zighuincor, from where I went to Abene, then back to Dakar via the same route due to corruption Read more

Day 137-139. – Etosha National Park (Namibia)
June8-10.: From Epupa we headed toward Etosha National Park.It’s hard to calculate in advance exactly where we’ll be on a given day, so we only booked accommodation a few days ahead. We were lucky—there was still availability at one of the campsites, so we managed to spend two nights inside the park. In Epupa we Read more

Day 215-216.: Zinave National Park (Mozambique)
Our plan was to drive north along Mozambique’s main road, the N1, all the way to Ilha de Moçambique. However, it was still more than 1,500 kilometers away, and the N1 is notorious for its bad sections — with incredibly deep potholes and recklessly fast-driving buses. As an alternative route, the owner of our hostel Read more

Mauritania: The Desert full of life – 10 days in the Sahara
What should you know about the country? Summary Mauritania is located in Northwest Africa, where the Arab and Sub-Saharan African worlds meet. Its population is made up of three main groups: the Moors (peoples of Arab–Berber origin, 30–40%), Black Moors or Haratin (40–45%), and Sub-Saharan groups—Pulaar, Soninke, and Wolof—who together account for 20–25% of the Read more

Day 233-235.: Majete Wildlife reserve (Malawi)
Szeptember 9-11.: We drove from Blantyre to Majete National Park. We managed to get a discounted entry ticket, so we paid about 17,500 HUF in total for both of us and the car for two nights and three days. Majete is not a very large park, but like Zinave in Mozambique, it’s a true success Read more

Day 150-154.: Central Kalahari Game Reserve (Botswana)
Június 18-22.: A sok egész oldalas vízum miatt betelt az útlevelünk! A namíbiai–botswanai határon így kicsit többet időztünk, amíg segítettek kitalálni, hogyan tudunk útlevelet cserélni (kettőt hoztunk magunkkal, ami egyébként teljese legális ). A namíbiai oldalon az új útlevélbe is kellett kérnünk egy kilépőpecsétet, hogy utána a botswanaiak be tudjanak az új útlevélbe pecsételni. A Read more
