After Morocco–and possibly another mini-trip elsewhere, still to be decided–it’s off to Tanzania, for us. Four months after arrival we’re flying from South Africa to the UAE for a family birthday celebration.

We’re still working on the route for our sub-Saharan Africa tour — and indeed want to leave it very loose, so that we can segway with opportunities as they arrive. Notwithstanding visas, our current thoughts are: Tanzania (including Zanzibar island), Malawi (big lake apparently), Zambia (waterfalls), Botswana (delta), Namibia (sand dunes) and South Africa (big, flat mountain).
