Fish River Canyon, wonder of Namibia

The most of Africa

Despite the beauty of such an ancient, stylish and beautiful place such as Piazza de’ Miracoli in Pisa, despite the amazing view of the leaning tower, enchanting in it perfect shape, there is one thing that astonish you the most in that Medieval Square: the people, the thousands of tourists standing at the towers feet […]

Unbelievable places: Kolmanskop, a ghost town of the desert
In the middle of the Southern desert, the one belonging to Namibia and to the Southern Hemisphere, Kolmaskop is a true gem, a pearl of beauty and silence, like the Desert that surrounds and hug it. It appears on the side of an unknown road that runs for kilometres without crossing any village or […]
Capetown, between black an white
We arrived in Cape Town with a bit of joy and a bit of sadness at the same time, and so it has been in all these days spent here. Cape Town welcomed us with all her majesty and splendour, in some sunny and warm days that made us forget the cold we had […]
The last day on the truck
It’s finishing and it’s surreal. The bags are packed, the truck is empty, life is ready to start again and an amazing chapter of all our lives is coming to an end. The last 24 hours on the truck have been absolutely crazy. Yesterday we spent the entire day packing up our stuff. Each […]
Etosha, into the wild
“This is where humanity kicked off – it ‘s about time you came home” (Lonely planet Africa). Humanly speaking, that was indeed the feeling I had when I entered not only Namibia but Etosha National Park, too. The door to it actually opens up a new world, the world that belongs to Africa in the […]

Back to the Savannah in Angola
In Angola we have sadly left the rainforest landscape to come back to the infinite and much more spoiled view of the Savannah. The landscape has slowly started to change since we entered the country, the weather got dryer, and the nights chillier. We are running through Angola fast, as our visa is only for […]
And finally on the bad roads of DRC
We had been talking about them since the beginning of the trip, fearing them, waiting for them, imagining them but I think none of us really thought they could really be as bad as the reality showed us: DRC bad roads. We left Congo to enter DRC on the top of the most beautiful […]
Brazzaville, capital of Congo River
Not so European like Libreville, neither so modern or cosmopolitan, Brazzaville is a real African capital, with a mix of old and new, trying to get closer to the new world but holding up a lot of features that remind you where you are: in the capital of Congo. I couldn’t feel more in […]
My Congolese birthday
It was in Congo, at the border with Gabon, in a small village called Mbie, that I celebrated the special edition of my birthday this year. You may wonder how it is having a birthday on a truck, while travelling across Africa, and I can tell you it was special, and not for the […]
Gabon, close to the sun
It was in Gabon where we passed the Equator, going literally on the other side of the world. Just like the Tropic of Cancer, the Equator sign is in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the rainforest, were the only company you can get is the one of the trees and of the men who […]
Kribi, last relaxing paradise
Kribi is one of those places that have nothing special but that you keep loving for the rest of your life. The day we arrived in the village it was public holiday in Cameorun, and since the early afternoon all the people were in the street, chatting, drinking and most of all dancing […]
