Backpacking Cape to Cairo.


The countdown is on!!!

With just a day to go till I get to start my adventure backpacking Cape to Cairo, The nerves have really kicked in and reality is more exciting than ever.
For the past 6 months I have been planning for the biggest adventure I will ever go on. I have resigned from my day job to chase a life of being a tourism social media marketer. This adventure that I speak of will see me travel through 11 countries including my home country of S.A.

The countries are as follows:
·         Namibia
·         Botswana
·         Zimbabwe
·         Zambia
·         Malawi
·         Tanzania
·         Kenya
·         Ethiopia
·         Sudan
·         Egypt

The adventure will show the best in budget African travel accommodation establishments, activities, music, lifestyle and cuisine in the different countries.
I will also show the different ways to travel on a budget living in backpackers, couchsurfing, volunteer tourism and camping. The adventure will feature some of Africa`s best music festivals, world heritage sites, water sports and also highlight the love of Africans.
Backpacking Cape to Cairo is on a shoestring budget and Africans Ubuntu has shined through as they have came forward to sponsor me with accommodation in all different countries.
As a travel blogger, my passion is traveling. My curiosity is the drive that will lead me to explore Africa. I decided to embark on this journey not only to promote Africa as a travel destination to Africans but to also introduce traveling as a lifestyle to young black Africans.

I hope my travels add value to my audiences life. I hope to have an impact on how as Africans we perceive Africa and fellow Africans. I hope that through Travel Mzantsi, I will be able to highlight similarities and differences of Africans but also start a culture that celebrates those differences and similarities.

My travels will be shared on my social media accounts: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and right here on my blog. I will also be posting regular videos on my Facebook page as a way to keep everyone updated on how the adventure is unfolding. The hashtag for this adventure is - #TheSoloWanderer
My mission is to reach out to the rest of Africa so that we can collaborate and use Travel Mzantsi as a vehicle to unite Africa and to showcase Africas best in travel and lifestyle.

Backpacking Cape to Cairo is my way to bring Africa together - one passport stamp at a time, overland.

I am interested in suitable collaborations like sponsorships, giveaways, competitions, advertising and other interesting enquiries.

Finding Ugandan beer from the source - Nile Special Lager. A 6 day itinerary

November 2019 was the beginning of Africa through beer out of South Africa. Together with SAB World of Beer we ran a competition to encourage South Africans to visit Africas only beer museum in Newtown Johannesburg. The winners got a chance to travel to Uganda with me as their guide discovering the beers in Uganda from the source of the Nile.  I have a 6-day itinerary for your adventures in East Africas adventure capital. The itinerary applies for both affordable and luxury travel.  ***Please note that these amounts shared are merely an estimate and guidelines towards the cost of your travels.

Exploring Lagos - On a budget

So many times I have tried to find the words to explain the city of Lagos to someone and so many times words fail me. This is not a city you can try to describe, but it definitely a city you have to visit. Good day Lagos, how do you do?!? I miss you. Love always: Onyekachi (This is my Nigerian name meaning: Who's greater than God?) #BreakingBorders #Thesolowanderer A post shared by Katchie Nzama (@thesolowandera) on Mar 22, 2018 at 2:28am PDT I can best describe my relationship with Lagos as one of a person in an abusive relationship. I arrived in Lagos after 4 months of the toughest travels across West Africa, within a week I was bedridden with Malaria and I was out of action for 2 weeks popping horse tranquilizer sized pills and capsules (My doctors were amazing but I will never forgive them for expecting me to swallow those vile things). Lagos found me at a stage of my travels were I was broken and just ready to break down and cry.  Not far...
