Our journey to explore Southern Africa had started nearly nine months previously in Cape Town, South Africa and so after leaving Zimbabwe we headed back to this beautiful country and all it has to offer.

Just before heading back to the Netherlands for the launch of my book ‘Dag Lieverd, Tot Zo’ last year, we spent to two and a half weeks exploring Zambia.

It was around the sixth anniversary of my husband Jeroen Ensink’s death that I saw a social media post about a couple travelling trough Africa by Land Rover with their tree children.
