Backpacking 54 countries in Africa

I have solo travelled to 54 African countries using mostly public land transport.

Boipelo has amazing stories as a backpacker. She intentionally wanted to do it over land. I’m in awe of her- it’s obviously something I wouldn’t be able to do- she had wonderful experiences @Boipelo_Travels

Excited to see a fairly priced store selling clothes with "words" reflective of me. Clothes I can proudly dress my child in.
Thank you PEP store.

Where did the Africa themed, ready to wear Kumaro brand from @MrPriceSport go?

Thank you @motswedingfm for the lovely discussion with Lebo Korogo.
Interesting messages from those who caught the conversation including mama.

@wode_maya The tour operator gets tourists on EU passports weekly but mine is an issue simply because I'm using an African passport, something that should be working in my favour.

[AfricanOverlandTraveller @Boipelo_Travels]

@wode_maya Most people are discouraged by travel costs, especially when flying, followed of course by the difficulty in obtaining visas for some countries. I've been trying to get a tourism visa for Libya for over a year now with no luck, despite having already been to 54 African countries

[AfricanOverlandTraveller @Boipelo_Travels]

@matylet @ExclusiveBooks Both Sudans to Egypt is fairly easy but Egypt to Morocco would be tricky if you want to go through Libya and also the land border between Algeria and Morocco is closed. Unless of course.

In my book: A safari back to self - Backpacking 54 countries in Africa,
I also talk about my first encounter with plantain, I struggled to finish the boiled one I had in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). It was the fried one I ate in Kimpese (DRC) that began my love affair with plantain

My April and May Eswatini stamps.

One thing is for sure, Eswatini immigration is such a pleasure to deal with. For the Bushfire weekend it was as if the already hospitable people of Eswatini were asked to step it up a notch. Great, speedy service everywhere
