The Travelling Divorcee Goes to East Africa

By Mary-Louise Phillips

One of the main advantages of travelling solo is being able to make instant decisions without having to consult anyone. I was in London when I saw the ad for a safari to Tanzania.

It was a fabulous journey, one I'd like to share with you.

The sides are open with plastic pull-downs. Under the seats are our lockers, one small compartment each passenger, plus a few for storing fresh food. Along the back are other lockers for canned and powdered food. Our tents and sleeping bags are stored on racks up top, with cooking utensils and fold-up stools shoved in the back. The table is stored behind the cabin, the grate and cooking gear under the
