World tour expo

Feb 2, 2011

The trip of the Greek couple in the Land Rover Discovery, gets more and more exciting. After the safaris in Tanzania, they traveled through Uganda and Rwanda to Burundi and D.R.Congo before heading to the north, towards Addis Ababa, Khartoum and now for Cairo.
The last days of the year were difficult as exciting for the Greek journalist of 4Wheels magazine, Akis Temperidis, and his companion, choreographer Vula Netu, who drive through Africa for the last 270 days. The Greek expedition spent many days in East Africa for different reasons. They visited famous National parks, like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Masai Mara and Amboseli. They crossed Rwanda and visited the genocide memorials of this hopeful country. They watched live the famous drummers of Burundi in Bujumbura and they had the best wildlife experience of their life, after a visit to the Kahuzi-Biega National park in D.R.Congo, for the mountain gorillas.
After this long painful trip, Akis and Vula drove back to Kenya, during the pre-election period. They left the country right before the elections that resulted in a bloodshed, as many feared in the most developed country of East Africa.

In Ethiopia, the Greek couple arrived safe and sound. After they drove to the Omo valley, in order to meet the Mursi and Mbanna people, they hit the road to Addis Ababa where they spent some days, waiting for the year 2008 to come and the complicate to issue visa for Sudan. After they got the visa, Akis and Vula drove towards Khartoum and from there to Wadi Halfa, where they got the old ferry to Aswan dam, through the lake Nasser. The Greek couple now heads to Cairo and from there to Alexandria in order to find a boat to cross the Mediterranean sea. They are expected to return to Greece at the beginning of February, for a break before the second stage of the trip, to South East Asia and Australia.
