In my never ending effort to rebrand the Panic Manual into a lifestyle blog so I can get physical free shit instead of free concert tickets, I will write about travel. I have a trip coming up, so it’s very convenient to start writing about that. It’s also quite self indulgent, but this entire blog only really serves me and my friends anyway.
So let’s talk about Southern Africa. First of all, one of the things I realized when planning this trip, is that Africa is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGEEE. I mean, imagine if North America was populated throughout the continent instead of the east/west coast, and then make it bigger, and you have Africa. Originally, my plan was to do a safari, hang out in Cape Town AND climb Kilimanjaro, only to realize the flight from Cape Town to Nairobi is similar to flying from Toronto to LA.
Let’s look at some places I will be going to.
Victoria Falls
Only the biggest waterfall in the World. I wonder if it’s like Niagara Falls and I can go to Ripley’s Believe it or Not or have a wax version of my hand made. Probably not. I am contemplating this:
Most likely I will chicken out, because that looks insane.
Okavango Delta
A cool lil spot in Botswana where animals frolic about. I believe we are flying into here on a tiny plane from somewhere and chilling out here for a few days. I’ve seen a lot of BBC documentaries about animals in this place so it’ll be quite good I think.
Kalahari Desert
Two years ago, I visited the Sahara desert so it only makes sense to visit the Kalahari desert as part of my #deserttour. I don’t even like sand, so I don’t know what’s up with that. It’s known for it’s reddish sand and is home to a bunch of cats that can eat me.
National Parks
Gonna see some animals yo. Hopefully not too close. Distance is good. I’m going to have profile pictures for years to come out of this trip, and a great #tbt option every week on Instagram. Time for y’all to step up your game.
Cape Town
What a gorgeous city. You climb mountains, go check out great white sharks, see penguins and tour wine country all within a few hours span. I’m curious what that gigantic methos looking thing is as well.
So there you have it, three weeks without concerts. It shall be interesting.
