They are related, yes, but SADC travelling has extra ingredients that no travel brochure will ever fully prepare you for. Ingredients like unexpected livestock. Borders that operate on their own time zone. And the kind of road that looks perfectly fine on a map but turns out to be a firm suggestion rather than an actual road.
