Have wheels will travel

A ‘National Geographic’ moment at a safari during a close encounter with an elephant.

TWO women embraced their passion for travelling by challenging themselves to drive around the African continent, the second largest in the world, in a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle.

Zuraina Ismail, 56, and Iyra Azhari, 47, who are currently in Caprivi Strip, Namibia, began their expedition by land from Cape Town, South Africa on Aug 17 in a Toyota Landcruiser Troopy that was sent by sea cargo from Port Klang.
