Thank you all for the info.
Jeff, sorry if I didn't thank you before, I forgot to reply. Sorry and many thanks. Is you that wrote about Angola on Adventure Riders?
To Luangwablondes: I have Tracks4Africa map, and luangwablondes website is into my favorites...

I let a message in the guestbook some week ago!
But I still have some doubt.

Ok, so now the problem is: is it possible to cross that road by motorbike? As far as I know lots of parks deny any access to motorbikes.

What do you mean? Is there any problem at the Kazungula/Kasane border?
We planned to enter Zambia by Caprivi and exit from Kazungula/Kasane, after a tour.

As the situation in Zimbabwe is not so quiet, we think we will be only on the bridge on Victoria Falls, no more.

The original idea was to go to Malawi, but as we have to rent the motorbike to limit the cost of our trip, we have to start and end in Johannesburg, so Malawi is too far. We don't plan to go to the north, only west and central Zambia. But why do you suggest not to do wester Zambia? Uninteresting or unsafe/difficult?
My last doubt is exactly on that area, on the difficulty of the road from Katima Mulilo to Mongu, I still had no satisfactory info on that. We plan to ride that road in august, so during the dry season.
