Passenger Profile #13: Kyle - African Trails 'Ultimate Trans Africa' Overland Trip

  • Name: Kyle.
  • Age: 21
  • From: South Africa
  • Aliases: Kylie Minogue, Pup, Homeless,
  • Most likely to say: "Dominated!" or "No respect!" (There's actually too many to list here!)
  • Trig leg: Morocco to Istanbul

 Professional photographer who puts us all to shame (but always there to offer advice).

Loves to 'boogie board' (although he'd kill me for saying that!!!)

Driver Mark's protege - even bought his very own overalls for helping out with the mechanics.

Loves music - has bought a local variation of the guitar in most of the countries we've been to.

Accident prone...worst case scenarios equal inch wide craters in his legs after mosquito bites, malaria TWICE, and falling through the floor of a 2 storey rusted oil rig in the middle of the Namibian desert.



Homeboy

Loves being in the thick of it

"Your country needs you!"

Downed chopper

Always with his camera out

Being sold some fabrics and carpets in Morocco

Watching the sunrise in Namibia

Awesome action shot on the beach in Mauritania

Delicious!!

Scuba Steve!!

Photographer extraordinaire

Squeezed into the back of a tiny motorbike taxi, people had to share seats!

Scary expression...

Off to build the tent
