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...

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 ...

Image: content.time.com The City that never sleeps. I have loved my stay in Nairobi as this has been the one city closes to Johannesburg. The streets are madness, everyone is always rushing off somewhere and there is traffic all day everyday till about 9pm . This has been the only city that I have considered living in so far, I fell in love with Nairobi but I dont think I would be brave enough to drive the streets or bare with the daily traffic. It can be a nightmare. Downtown Nairobi is not your cup of tea, I haven't been there as I am not brave enough to deal with what I have been told goes on down there. The nightlife is everyday business. You party till you can't anymore and the club's open till sunrise from Sunday to Sunday . And these people have work the next day. You basically leave the club to go shower and go to work. The weather in Nairobi is lovely, it is never too hot and most days it gets windy.  I always get laughed at for putting on m...

As the journey continues backpacking Cape to Cairo, I find that I am missing some of the special friends and families I have left behind in the different countries I have visited. I have decided to give you a few photoposts of the beautiful places I visited and some activities I was able to do. This was my cabin at Big Blue Backpackers in Nkhatha Bay, Malawi. Every morning I was woken up by the lake, waves crashing on the rocks. Had breakfast on my balcony over looking the lake just watching the fishermen go about their day. Read more about Big Blue Backpackers here and visit their website for any inquiries and also for their rate here . This are the busy streets of Nkhatha Bay with the locals going on about their day. I was able to visit one of the villages just outside Nkhatha Bay and this is basically the shopping mall. This is where you buy all your clothes and accessories. All clothes are second hand. Anyone who knows me knows I love finding bargains at second hand ...
