To go - or not to go - that's the question !

To go, or not to go, that's the question !

(November, 24)
BRAZZAVILLE
It is close to decision time. We have seen this before, and I don't want to go through that same nightmare again.
So, what are the options. Leave the Land Rover behind? Go back to Cameroon? Make a D-D-D-tour? Ask for a Military Escort? Fly the car by cargo-plane to DRC or Angola?
Or ask HQ, to do a critical investigation?
A good night sleep and decision time tomorrow.

About Us

From ‘CONGO to KALAHARI’ is a part of ‘The World’s Longest Journey’ dedicated to malaria, taken on in one-and-the-same faithful Land Rover Defender. From ‘CONGO to KALAHARI’ is a gruelling journey setting off from the Congo Basin in west equatorial Africa through to the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. In this ‘Day-by-day’ journal, this astonishing feat to save thousands of lives undertaken by the Brit David M.C. Robertson at the wheel of his trustworthy Land Rover Defender, is revealed. Covering some 8.057 miles (12.967 Km), more often than not off the beaten track, and facing the African challenges, this ‘Drive’ takes on unknown turning points in life. Robertson’s main focus is to reach the most vulnerable people, ensuring that they receive quality malaria protection and medication that can help cure thousands. How does one reach those suffering in a massive rain-forest, where the roads turn into a mud quagmire as soon as it rains? This is a gigantic trek. Putting it into perspective, it represents the combined distance from the United Kingdom to Russia and back, with room to spare!

From ‘CONGO to KALAHARI’ is a Drive Against Malaria Foundation mission. Through sustainable support and community empowering the aim is to successfully break down the malaria cycle, both today and tomorrow. Up until now these remote families have been trapped in an environment riddled with malaria, however now thanks to the Drive Against Malaria Foundation they can look forward to a brighter and especially healthier future.
