Zambia into Angola
Hi
Just crossed from Zambia into Angola at Sikongo near Mongu.
We spoke to some south african road workers that were in Kalabo building the new road
they said its not passable as there is no bridge,but locals in landcruiser taxis told us of a
way around. Very very sandy and swampy and had to drive 200 meters up a river that was about 600mm deep,
Once in angola more sand and crashing through trees,,
All up about 200kms in soft sand and only saw 1 landcruiser the whole 2 days it took us,
We are in an overland truck that weighs 18 ton and is 3.8 m high hence the long time.
No deisel around untill Luena in angola but cheap as got 350 kwanza to the dollar.
Imagration in zambia said the last tourists this way were 2 and a half years ago.
Would definitely recomend as in 2 years will be all tarmac and easy.
Cheers grant
