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.

I am super grateful for having such an epic job. This week, I will be exploring the Pearl of Africa. There will be dance, food, beer, culture and a l...

Morocco - A country I am certain to never return to.

Morocco is a North African country characterized by mountain regions, desert, and a lengthy coastline from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Morocco is a monarchy where the royal family has full control over the government. Rabat is the capital city, but Casablanca is the largest city. Chances are your flights will fly into Casablanca as they have the larger airport and that is cheaper than flying into other airports. Like any other North African country, you will learn or you most probably know about the history of the Arabs in Morocco. Most people assume north Africans are Arabs. There are no Arabs in Africa. There are descendants of Arabs, but Moroccans are the Berber or Amazirgh people. Also, talking about the Amazirgh can offend some people the same way you cannot talk about Western Sahara. 93% of Moroccans are religious and the majority are practicing Sunni Muslims. I spent the last few days of Ramadan in Morocco in 2017, the interesting thing ab...

As a traveler and lover of adventure and uncertainty while traveling, African cultures have always been right at the top of things I love to explore and learn about. I have found that there is great difficulty in visiting various villages to immerse myself in these cultures if you are a budget traveller but I make it happen anyways. View this post on Instagram Funny how my brain just forgets certain struggles. I have completely forgotten about the #Namibia 🇳🇦 heat and also how traveling to certain parts is almost impossible. Hitch hiking had to happen as in any other desert country. Now the struggle will be getting out of here and going to Windhoek 😧 But I survived the heat. Ran out of water and felt like death. My hijabs come in super handy but I've also ran out of sun screen so my skin is on fire right now 😭😧 Let's see what Kamanjab has in store for me. I'm super excited about visiting this particular vil...
