I lead a rich inner life, appreciate a good marshmallow, and have been known to indulge in the occasional Wednesday afternoon tryst underneath the linden tree. I am currently between extended trips to East Africa; this is my story.

Welcome Page

Welcome to araptirop backpacking africa! This page will give you an idea of what this blog is all about.

This site has two primary functions. First and foremost, it is a living record of an extended overland journey in East Africa. The idea is to publish an ongoing travel narrative consisting of my trials, tribulations and observations (The Story). For more on the route I will be taking, please check out the Route Through East Africa.

My other objective while traveling will be to collect data that will make it easier for others such as yourself to backpack in Africa generally and East Africa specifically. I will compile lists and advice on the gear one needs (Gear), write reviews of eateries and accommodations (Reviews), generate a guide or two (Guides), and do whatever else seems vaguely helpful. Take a look at my Guidebook Reviews to learn about the ones that will get the job done.

All of this will be lavishly illustrated with Photos; some will be in the body of the blog, and others will be on My Flickr Page.

Please feel free eulogize or criticize in the comments section, and don't hesitate to email me with questions or communiqués (araptirop AT gmail.com).

Everything should be intuitively accessible from the sidebar. Enjoy!
