cameroon-namibia
 
Hi all,

we are planning the next trip from Cameroon to Namibia in November. We intend to get the visa´s beforehand, but we are not sure if we are able to get a double entry visa to Angola in Germany. Therefore I would like to ask if anybody did recently drive the route from Dolisie towards Brazza and then headed south in Mindouli over the border to Congo-Kinshasa to Luozi and furher to Matadi in order to avoid Cabinda? How are the conditions?

Thanks.

Regards
Tobias

Hi,

We are doing the trip from south to north (we are in nigeria now) but have met a few people coming from the north. The route via Cabinda (not going via Brazza) is perfectly feasable and might be the only option. A french couple was not allowed to cross the border to Congo in the east of Gabon, so they had to go to Point Noir. Also the ferry bypassing Cabinda seems to be very unreliable. Cabinda itself is easy going, although one stretch of road is still potholed very much.
Apparantly you can get the Angola double entry visum without much problem in Libreville, but not in Point Noir.
We, travelling the other way, obtained a Cabinda visum in 1 day at the consulate of Matadi.

Good luck
