Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe - Along the Zambezi

In 2012, we made a 4000 km roundtrip along the mighty Zambezi river in East Africa, following the footsteps of 19th century Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Driving a rental Land Rover Defender, we visited fishing villages at Lake Malawi, rural villages in Mozambique, and the impressive Mana Pools national park in Zimbabwe. May 2012
