How to drive rather a long way without a map...In Style.

Step 1. Have a sense of humour
Step 2. Ask random people for directions (especially mini bus drivers)
Step 3. Just be awesome.


In preparing for this trip we put together a pretty exhaustive list of stuff to bring. Guide books for every country, quality maps (thanks Nik and Suz), machete, car, passports etc.

Turns out we didn't bring it all.  So we drove all the way through Zambia without a map. Any map. like zilch. A random cash transfer at 60km an hour and a helpful taxi man got us on the right path to a really cold night in Lusaka.
