Why buy this?
This is a pretty unique route that we're using as an example here. You don't actually go 'around the world' in a technical sense, you take more a boomerang loop, getting as far as New Zealand and coming back via Australia and a massive overland adventure through Africa. South Africa's 'Garden Route', plenty of safaris, Victoria Falls, the source of the Nile, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar are all on the cards here!
