I would definitely agree with the parts availability around the world, as Neil mentions and about the weight getting up to 15 tonnes. Mahindra is certainly growing globally, if you are looking for something a lot smaller and you could look into that as a potentially cost-effective alternative...

Thank goodness we met 2 motorcyclists on the Turkish Iranian border way back in 2016. They told us how impressive Omo valley is, and they weren't wrong! We enjoyed it so much, it gets its own blogpost. https://wanderwheels.wordpress.com/2017/10/03/the-tribal-kaleidoscope-omo-valley-ethiopia/...

We continue north up the east side of Lake Turkana in Kenya. Definitely the TOP route on the trip! Hope you enjoy it, too! https://wanderwheels.wordpress.com/2017/09/26/the-windiest-place-on-earth-lake-turkana-kenya/ Helen & Jens

What better antidote to Rwanda's difficult history - a trip round Uganda and celebrating 2 birthdays, with friends from Germany. What a great country this is for a visitor: at least on the surface. We didn't dig into the vicious past with Idi Amin or the current political situation, which is...

With Rwanda's history it was never going to be an easy visit and the blog was even harder. We're sure it won't be to everyone's taste, but if you do read it, we hope you appreciate it! https://wanderwheels.wordpress.com/2017/09/03/burying-the-hatchet-in-rwanda/ Helen & Jens

Car looks great! Please post the link here when you've done the video!

Short and sweet: our transit up the west side of Tanzania towards Rwanda. https://wanderwheels.wordpress.com/2017/08/19/tripping-through-tanzania/

Malawi was a welcome change after all the recent animal experiences. It was really nice to be surrounded by many nice people and you can choose whether you stuck to tourist/expat things or get more involved and try to understand the culture and the country. Yesterday we were sitting with...

Thanks for your positive comments!! A game of snakes and ladders is how Jens describes our short time in Zambia. We were just a couple of weeks too early for the tracks we thought about doing, and although we knew how big Zambia is, we didn't actually really put it into perspective: I don't...

Not sure I've posted in the right sub-forum here...? We're looking for company to go north up Lake Turkana, Kenya then cross into Ethiopia at Omorate, mid August this year. We're probably continuing up to Alexandria, Egypt. Join us for some or all of the time, or at least for the more remote...

Friday evening, at least where we are, and here's a new country episode for your weekend reading. Perhaps a little bit too much if a hot-headed rant for some at the beginning, but I needed to let everyone know! Hope you enjoy it. Nice weekend! Helen & Jens...

A short intermezzo in southern Mozambique, where we enjoyed the fresh fish and seafood, dinner with a lodge owner who's participated in Paris-Dakar before And a nice cross country track back to Gonarezhou national park in Zimbabwe...

The Balkan states do something similar, adding green peppers and leaving some of the juice in. I have to say you recipe sounds delicious: will be trying it this week! Whichever way you cook it, I agree it hits all the right buttons for campers worldwide!

Our 4 weeks in Botswana were packed to the brim and we loved it! Here we recount our kalahari crossing and have some funny stories of our animal encounters there [emoji51] If only we had more time! https://wanderwheels.wordpress.com/2017/05/26/3-scorpions-and-a-lion-in-botswana/...

Thanks!

Namibia was next en route, 6 weeks meandering, having friends to visit and paragliding, with our first foray into sand driving along the beach to Sandwich Harbour. Despite the time we had there we still missed so much out, particularly the north with damaraland and kaokafeld: good reasons to...

Hi Ross, Looking forward to spending a bit more time reading your blog: what I've glanced at so far looks great, thank you! Please could you share, or send me, the contacts for the shipping, as we'd like to do the same route in October if possible. Also, once you have the Mandy back safely in...

Hello everyone! Today we posted the third of our little reports on our trip, which will takes us from South Africa back to Germany over 'only' 10 months, up the eastern side of the continent. You can find us at http://www.wanderwheels.wordpress.com/ The first may not interest you soo much as...
