November marked the first ever #AfricaThroughBeer experience in Uganda where in collaboration with SAB world of beer we hosted a group of 5 winners from South Africa who traveled with us to Uganda to explore East Africa’s adventure capital, find amazing brews and learning more about beer.   Some South African and international brews during a beer tasting. The winners had to visit SAB World of beer for a beer tour in order to stand a chance to visit Uganda with us. Tasting some Umqombothi (isiZulu traditional beer) from a traditional calabash as part of the beer tour. SAB World of Beer is Africa’s only beer destination. Situated in the heart of Newtown, Johannesburg. The beer museum takes you on a journey of beer brewing from the Nubians in Egypt down to South Africa uncovering the fascinating brewing through a fun, informative and interactive tour. Maluti is a beer from Lesotho. Named after the Maloti Mountains of the highlands of the K...

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.

Lagos found me at a stage of my travels were I was broken and just ready to break down and cry.  Not far...

The Gambia is a beautiful country to visit. I will say this to anyone who is willing to listen. By far the most photogenic countries on the continent that I have ever visited. I have shared things to know before planning your travels to the Gambia and you can read more here . Today I will be sharing with you a bit more on things to do. What would be the best things to discover?  Wondering how we cross the River #Gambia 🇬🇲 from Barra to Banjul?!? This is the old ferry. People, livestock, cars, trucks or any mode of transport we all squeeze in from one side to another. The ticket is 25Dalasis (Gambia currency). There are 2 ferries currently working. This is the old one and takes about 40min to cross. The new one named Kunta Kinteh takes about 20min. #BreakingBorders #Thesolowanderer #Gambia 🇬🇲 A post shared by Katchie Nzama (@thesolowandera) on Jul 21, 2017 at 12:20pm PDT Rather important to mention that, travel time will be a bit difficult ...
