It's great that you managed to keep a positive outlook despite the setbacks you encountered. In this post and in previous posts you have mentioned that you always bring alot of powerbars just in case you don't have access to food for a week or if the food available is not safe to eat. A suggestion I'd like to make is, in addition to the powerbars you could invest in a few Meals Ready to Eat (MRE). They were developed by the US Army, they are available to the civilian market, and the cost is not prohibitive. Also, since you have a Canon 5D Mark II, would you ever consider making a short video on one of your trips? Hi David,

I'm wondering, if you were already familiar with travelling and working in Africa before, why didn't you book a slightly longer visit in advance, as a precaution?
