If you like that way - do it. But don't promote such shitty stuff
Specially when there was severall other travellers who did similar stuff without spending money there...

Hay....u may not like it but in Africa a dash is part of life, we managed to get across Nigeria ...throw over 95 road block and ocasianal gunfire without paying a red cent....but when it came to the drc bourder..there are a lot less options...that is the last rea lcorupt Africa bourder.....and there is no other option...officaly they can turn you away as you visa was not issued in your home country.....and yes ive herd it happen....and no there is not anouther bourder post to try.....its that bourder or nothing.....and you are faced with 3 days drive back to rep congo...then 3 days to point noire to ship your vehical....or....when the oficer tells you its 10 dollors each or your ****ed....you pay....its easy to say dont do it online.but when you been on the road for 5 months and you know this is the only entrance point then ok........sure you can say wait it out......as ive seen other white guy wait it out in cells, but this bourder is realy remote...but so close to the end of the hard travel
