Joy Ebaide was riding her motorbike along a deserted dirt road in rural Tanzania when a black mamba, Africa’s deadliest snake, lunged at her. “It was about two inches away from me, and that’s an experience I’ll never forget,” she says.
Encountering a highly venomous snake was a heart-stopping moment, but it did not put her off travelling. If anything, it made her more determined, and left her feeling that “impossible is nothing”.
