Oscar Scafidi liked Harriet's review of Kayak The Kwanza: "Very interesting, learnt lots about rural Angola, diamond mining and post-war landmine clearing efforts. Seems they set out with some planning but mostly prayers and good vibes, but they made it!"

Oscar Scafidi liked Sarah Catherine's review of Kayak The Kwanza: "What an adventure! Having met the two protagonists in Madagascar made it even more interesting. And I learned many things, such as the fact that Angola used to be a Portuguese colony. Who knew? "
