How much better could it get than having a professional photographer on a trip to Africa?? No, he didn't go to be the photographer; however, his talent was a bonus! (THANK YOU,
KENT ASHLEY!) I took quite a few photos, but he had the equipment and skill to get photos I was not able to capture, so ENJOY!
The team!

Team transportation
We had a four hour drive from the Malawi airport to our final destination. Below are photos of Africa. Real life Africa. Prepare to stare.
Typical homes
A nicer road :)
Cell phones are the new trend in Africa and nationals will go without food so they can afford a phone. Since most homes do not have electricity, there are buildings to go charge their cell phones.
Life happens alongside the road, particularly the rare, paved roads.
