Malawi Gap #2 – baggage delay and renaming

A note care of Darcy… Muli bwanji everyone! We safely arrived here on Saturday, extremely tired I think it would be fair to say. After our initial excitement after following Steve Jones (T4 presenter) all the way to Lilongwe, we met Joe our project leader. Inevitably, someone’s bag had to get lost, and poor Darcy […]

Expedition Team Update – Peru onto Bolivia

Thanks to Natalie and Stephanie for the latest update.

There, we took delight in sleeping in real beds and eating food that wasn’t trail mix or porridge! […]

News from the Peruvian Amazon – Manu Team Update

Still no photos I’m afraid, jungle internet not being too kind to our team. Do read on however to get a taster of the team’s work so far. With not a single team member being spared a restless sleep, Wednesday we departed for Reynaldo’s house, an award winning conservationist, where we were given a brief […]
