That land rover was a champ. I cannot even tell you how bad some of the roads are in Africa. We spent a hefty amount of time in there bouncing around.
There was this one time we had car problems--the engine was overheating. So we pulled over to the side of the road, waited for it to cool down, poured water in the radiator, and continued onwards. Rinse and repeat, the entire way there and the entire way home.
No worries, the last picture was just from a couple weeks ago, long after we had left Africa. Our friend, Tobias, was in the car along with a friend when it flipped, I believe. Thankfully, he is okay. We had a close call once when Tobias lost control of the car (we hit a sand patch when trying to turn), but nothing happened, other than some fishtailing, sharp inhaling, and under-the-breath exclaiming. From the looks of it, guess we were lucky!
