Have You Heard About The Put Foot Rally?

I'm always astonished by how many South Africans have traveled Europe, been to America, holidayed in Thailand...but never crossed the borders into any African countries outside of our own. I've only been to two: Swaziland and Mozambique, twice and about 13 times respectively. I wish so much that I the time and money to see more. Because the truth is, we are so lucky here in Africa. We have so much to see and do and experience on this vast continent and what we sometimes forget, is how incredibly doable it is.

The Put Foot Rally aims to show travelers, men and women, young and old that Africa is not some dark continent that needs to be approached from the safety of an Overlander. There are deserts and tropical beaches, white rapids and waterfalls, crocodiles, hippos, leopards, lions, rhinos, mountains, lakes and some of the worlds most beautiful sunsets to be experienced - and you can travel to see them in anything from an old VW van to a 1960's Mini to a scooter.

Nash is on this adventure for the second time right now, 11 days in. Have a look at some of the pictures and videos he, @MikeSharman and Daddy K (@motioncityfilms) have been lucky enough to experience so far.
