“Then we passed a Tuareg riding high on his camel, leading a string of camels loaded with goods that were secured in leather bags. What an enthralling day, and there were more adventures to come.” - SLA

“We’ve been grateful for our winch too, as we’ve been able to help out in some tricky situations. We see evidence of many accidents, with abandoned, smashed vehicles lying in ditches. Turning one corner back in Cameroon, we found an overturned Land-Rover that had fallen off the wet, muddy road. Apparently the driver had swerved when a bird swooped towards his windscreen.” - SLA

“We fetched our water bottles and took a good swig of hot fluid. Nothing stayed cool in the desert. The temperature right then was 90°F with no shade. We all wore the traditional Bedouin headdress to help protect our heads and necks from the sun’s unrelenting rays.” - SLA

Spectacular scenery: green-forested mountainsides, deep valleys, snaking rivers and wherever possible the land was terraced to grow crops.” - SLA
