This looks like great fun (^^)
As read on their blog, 7 hours without a toilet call for serious endurance (**)
Wondering how much you should budget for such a trip, there and back?

Fly safe

Pierre

Hi!
Nice to read that the flying side of our adventure does get appriciated in SA ;-)
(In Holland no one flies microlights)

We started 2 months ago in Saldanha (100 kilo's above CapeTown) and flew through Namibia (absolutely beautifull), Zambia, Malawi and are now in the north of Tanzania (Mwanza) awaiting our permit to fly into Kenya...

Be sure to pop into the Tulapia Hotel for some lunch or dinner on the banks of Lake Vic

Hi guys

Following your blog with great interest. Most trike pilot would not dare to fly so far. Very inspiring to me. Please do tell more about the trip if possible.

Enjoy and keep safe!
