I initially planned to travel from Nairobi to Tanzania, then on to Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The trip would break in Mozambique for a week or so before I proceeded into Eswatini and Lesotho. My final stop would be South Africa before flying back to Nairobi. As it turns out, information on how to cross into all these countries in the version that I wanted was not readily available. Security is a key consideration so a few changes to the original itinerary had to be made. Thankfully, I had help in the form of an ardent solo traveller like myself who was also itching on embarking on the same journey.
