| Through the Sahara - in a 1950s Kombi |
February 1960 - A 1957 VW Kombi, loaded with three people (Raymond, Mary & Ivor), depart Bulawayo heading North to London...
More than fifty years ago, two brothers living in what was Southern Rhodesia planned a trip to London. They bought a Kombi, fitted a roof rack, bed and a Primus to it and drove straight across Africa. In the Sahara, they got stuck more times than they could count, Drive Out reader Ivor Wiid writes: Through the Sahara (originally published on Drive Out)
At the Victoria Falls, they met up with two gentlemen driving a Mercedes Benz 180D North from South Africa. They agree to meet up in Kano, Nigeria to transit North Africa.
