Botswana - 8 Days in Exile

Arriving at Johannesburg airport we were so pumped for the South African leg of our trip – getting a car and self driving instead of long sweaty buses – how first world of us!! Unfortunately all our aircon dreams came crashing down at immigration when we were told that because we had come from diseased Rwanda and we did not have our yellow fever vaccination cards we were not being permitted entry into South Africa.

Uganda and Rwanda - Green, green, green.

As some of you may know, we were fired from our hotel job in Entebbe (hooray!) and have since been on the road again! Here’s what’s been happening in Uganda and Rwanda…

After our side trip to Ethiopia we headed from Nairobi across the border to Uganda. The first thing we noticed after crossing was how beautiful Uganda was! Rolling green hills coupled with thick forests, cute little village towns and a more relaxed pace – It was a very pleasant surprise!
