Dear Namibia - A love Letter

Dear Namibia..



I have been here for 2 weeks. They tell me how dangerous you are but you have been nothing but gentle and good to me.
As I leave and make my way to Botswana, I am sad to say good bye. More than anything, I would love to stay.
I have made some good friends discovered your beauty and tasted your award winning beer. You are truly the land of the brave. You have come so far and have so far to go still. I hope to walk this journey with you. Thank you for playing a part in my journey to self discovery as well as promoting Africa to Africans.


I have made so many friends from as far as Italy and France. Through you I expanded my travel family. I have shared stories of my home country South Africa And had the opportunity to invite more people to come discover my beautiful country of South Africa on a Sho't Left.
I have had late nights spent around the braai with people I now consider my own family.


Thank you for your beauty, thank you for your ocean, sand dunes, desert, game and the heat. Thank you for being so exciting and for leaving me wanting more time with you.



Let it be known that your Kapanas are the grandest ever, your people loving, warm and welcoming.



Let anybody that was ever curious about you know that the solo wanderer highly recommends you.

If anything, I promise to be back.

With absolute love...

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.

Traveling to Uganda - Things to know

Welcome to Uganda. Welcome to the Pearl of Africa. Today I will be sharing with you information that you need to know before visiting the Pearl of Africa, Uganda. Uganda is a landlocked country in central East Africa. It is found in the great lakes region of Africa. The southern part of the country includes a substantial part of lake Victoria which the country shares with Kenya and Tanzania. The country lies in within the Nile basin and has a generally modified equatorial climate. View this post on Instagram Country #35 I wont lie, on landing in #Uganda I cried.

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...
