Slideshows - Southern Africa trip

I've been wanting to add some of my slideshows to my blog, but did not know exactly how to upload and show it.
Today I figured it out and thought I'd share two of my old slideshows with you.

I edited a documentary style slideshow after I did my trip through Southern Africa. I made use of my own photos and added some vocals and music to it. It was a fun project.
Check it out!

Last of Zambia

While in Zambia I decided to travel further north to Malawi as it was not that far from where I stayed on the Lower Zambezi. From the Lower Zambezi near Siavonga to Chipata on the border with Malawi would take me 12 hours. Hein organized me a lift with a lady he knew from the Kapenta Fishing Industry to Lusaka from where I boarded an afternoon bus to Chipata. Arriving in Chipata after dark would be the first of many. I camped the night and left for Lake Malawi the next morning.

More Wildlife - Zambia

I did not go on this trip to see wildlife, but somehow they seemed to be everywhere.
The Zambezi river is the lifeline for all these animals and you have to respect that they belong here.


This Kingfisher would sit in the tree next to my tent every morning when I woke up and the presence of Hippos are also everywhere on the Zambezi River.

Mukuyu Outreach - Lower Zambezi

I worked as a fundraiser in Dublin Ireland in December 2005. I was a representative for a NGO called World Vision. We would work on the streets of the city asking people to sponsor a child in Africa.

While working on the streets I met Hein Myburgh. He was only in Dublin for the day and was in a big rush. We had a quick chat about his charity on the Lower Zambezi called Mukuyu Outreach. He handed me a business card and said that if I ever wanted to visit him I would be welcome.

I kept the business card for 3 years before giving him a call. I always had the idea of traveling into Africa with public transport and Mukuyu Outreach would be the perfect place to visit and go help.

Hein invited me to come and help him with construction work for an orphanage. I assisted him with building the roof of the orphanage and also helped with some of the work at his house on the Zambezi River.

I had an amazing time at Mukuyu Outreach and after 12 days it was time to head further north towards Malawi. Mukuyu would be my only pre arranged visit and while spending time here I thought that I should head further north as I had the time and money.

Victoria Falls - Zambia

I visited the Victoria Falls in Zambia while on my way to Mukuyu Outreach on the Lower Zambezi. I'd been here twice before with my parents, but this time I had to see it once more and capture some of the views on camera.




I only viewed the falls from the Zambian side and did not cross into Zimbabwe for more shots. I'd been here before and did not feel like crossing into a political unstable country, though I am sure I would have been safe. I wanted to take more photos, but the rain that the falls create made it impossible to take photos all the time.
