Crossing Lake Tanganyika
 

Anyone have any info about putting a vehicle (in my case a Land Rover 110) on a ferry crossing Lake Tanganyika north to south, from Burundi down to Zambia?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Cheers.

Can't help I'm afraid just interested in the answer!

Maybe we're all checking to see if you were heading into eastern DR Congo which after reading Blood River, I wouldn't fancy.

Sorry I can't help. I hope you do it.

I don't think it's possible. I was recently in Malawi (on a bike) and I seem to remember being told that the ferry isn't big enough for vehicles. This was from a couple who'd driven south down the western edge of Tanzania instead of going on a ferry. They said the road was quite bumpy and they were certainly out in the sticks for a few days but it was passbale. (I guess that changes though)

Soory I can't be more helpful but I "think" you'd have to drive south.

(unfortunately) That matches all I have been able to find out as well LG - thanks very much for the knowledge; too bad, but seems no other way ...

Appreciate your input.

Cheers,
