Deževni dan ob obali drugega najglobljega jezera na svetu
Najin obisk Burundija se z uradniki, ki so zahtevali podkupnino in so nama pridobitev vize skušali računati dvojno ni začel najbolje. Izsiljevanje za denar na cesti je ena stvar, ko pa imaš opravka z uradnimi osebami pa sva vedno v precepu. Po eni strani bi mu rad ugodil in si tako zagotovil varen in enostaven…

Country Nr 56 – Burundi – visiting Lake Tanganyika, the second deepest lake on Earth
Country 56/196: Burundi Destinations: Bujumbura, Tanganyika Lake Since 2015, Burundi has been experiencing some political issues and uprisings, which is why the country is currently mostly closed for tourists. Obtaining a tourist visa was quite a challenge and as it’s pretty expensive, we had to apply for the transit visa, which limited our visit to…

Povratek k Viktorijinim slapovom
Pri Viktorijinih slapovih nama je bilo prejšnji teden tako ‘luštno’, da sva se morala vrniti. Jasno, konec koncev je mestece, ki je poimenovano po bližnjih slapovih tudi prestolnica Zimbabvijskega turizma. Sva pa tokrat torej obiskala Zimbabvijsko stran slapov, ki nudi pogled na 75% slapov, medtem ko se iz Zambije vidi le 25%, kar je še…

Country Nr 55 – Zimbabwe – conservation efforts, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, and the Zimbabwean side of the Victoria Falls
Country 55/196: Zimbabwe Destination: Victoria Falls As in Zambia, Victoria Falls are also the tourist capital of Zimbabwe. Naturally, we had to check it out. We just loved the falls so much in Zambia that we had to do it all over again. 😉 And I’m glad we did, as we actually liked the Zimbabwean…

Popotovanje po deželi Bušmanov
Glede na to, da se ravno blizu Viktorijinih slapov stikajo skoraj štiri države (Zambija, Zimbabve, Bocvana in Namibija), sva ta del Afrike sklenila prepotovati s cestnimi prevoznimi sredstvi. Tako sva po dobri uri vožnje z avtobusom, taksijem in mini trajektom, ki v resnici bolj spominja na splav, iz Zambije prispela v Kasane – mesto, ki…

Country Nr 54 – Botswana – Chobe National Park safari and a meeting with the San ‘Bushmen’ people
Country 54/196: Botswana Destination: Kasane, Chobe National Park, Ghanzi district We started off our adventure in Botswana with an unexpected encounter with a family of elephants and hippos. Then there was the epic visit of the wonderful Chobe National Park, and lastly, we even managed to visit the amazing San people, which was a great…

Presenečenj polna Zambija
O Zambiji sva slišala ogromno lepega, zato sva se obiska že nestrpno veselila. Destinacija: Livingstone in znameniti Viktorijini slapovi – itak! 😉 Prva postaja: preizkušanje hrane. V spletni popotniški bibliji – TripAdvisorju, sva izbrskala informacijo o najboljši restavraciji v mestu, kjer po sprejemljivih cenah strežejo lokalno hrano. Cafe Zambezi. Slišalo se je obetavno, pa še…

Country Nr 53 – Zambia – getting up close and personal with the country’s diverse wildlife on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls
Country 53/196: Zambia Destinations: Livingstone, Victoria Falls We were very excited about visiting Zambia, as Zambia is home to the majestic Victoria Falls. But as it turns out, Zambia has so much more to offer than ‘just’ one of the largest waterfalls in the world. We loved the food, the friendly people, and the many…

Lepote jugovzhodne Afrike
Iz otoške Afrike, ki je po svoje še bolj ‘na izi’ kot celinska (na kosilo v povprečju čakaš eno uro ;)) sva se preselila nazaj na kopno. Februarja sva raziskovala lepote jugovzhodne Afrike. Trajnostni Malavi Afrika je, naj vam povem, najdražja celina. Cene vizumov, stroški prevozov, tudi prenočišča. Predvsem tam, kjer ni konkurence. Tudi v…
