Crossing the borders between Botswana and Namibia was almost like crossing the borders of two European countries. Everything neat and clean. Everything under control. Not even one “fixer” who wants to “help” you, no time-consuming procedures: just a stamp on the documents and off you go! I left Botswana driving on a very good quality … Read More
Botswana
The differences between 2 travelers can be huge! Before I left from Livingstone, I talked with a tourist from the USA (a girl about 24 years old) who warned me that I would find difficulties in crossing the borders between Zambia and Botswana (annoying guys who would try to sell me things etc).

Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso or “The country of honest people”. I don’t know if it is the country of honest people or of whatever kind of people, but for sure, it is the country with the less bureaucracy until now. Three days ago, we had left from Bamako and we had said “goodbye” to Mali, this really … Read More
