Going back to Africa

I first went to Africa in 2003.  The idea was to do something called a Trans-Africa,  from Morocco to South Africa in 7 months and most likely would have been 9 months. We made it as far as Nigeria, which is not even getting out of West Africa.  The trip did not finish and I have been dreaming about going back ever since and traveling the Cape Town to Nairobi route.  

So that is what I am doing with a couple of additions.  Delta has a flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg that stops in Dakar, Senegal.  After a 12 hour flight to Senegal I am going to stay there for a week and also visit The Gambia. Then I will fly 8 1//2 hours to Johannesburg.  I will then spend 6 days traveling around Kruger N.P on my own and then onto Cape Town.  And it is there from Cape Town where the for 45 day trip from Cape Town to Nairobi starts.  The path we take is from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya.

After the trip if I make it and am still up for it I would like to journey into Uganda and possibly Ethiopia.  We will see.  Do not want to bite of more than I can chew but who knows how many more times I will get to Africa.  

That is all for now.  I will post little bits and pieces along the way when possible, maybe every two weeks, and the rest will have to wait till I get back.
