One guy has spent a year and a half travelling across Africa. He travelled passing through the countries of South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Egypt. Here are the pictures he made in 2012-2013.

Slaughtering a goat for a Christmas celebration in the village.

Yep, this is rural Africa for sure.

A remote and unknown waterfall in Southern Tanzania.

I tried to paddle Lake Tanganyika, the worlds longest lake, in a traditional wooden boat alone. It went poorly.

Excited locals along the lake as they pull up fish and stare at the white guy.
