As savvy readers of our blog may have noticed, we enjoyed our 2 month overland trip (check out this post, or this one, or this one). But we did so many things that my memories are already blurring together. So this post of our daily itinerary is mostly for myself, but if you are planning a tour or a drive, or just love our Africa stories, enjoy!  Thanks Tour Leader Joe for providing this list, I was not one of the dedicated journalers on the trip!  – Alissa
