zambia to angola - where to cross
expecting to have the coveted angola visa (15 day) on thursday in lusaka.
where should i enter angola?
i applied for the visa here in an effort to avoid the lubumbashi - kinshasa route so i'd rather avoid excessively long mud tracks through the jungle where possible.
1. 1600km down the caprivi to cross at oshikango-namacunde with good roads from there. i'm leaning towards this but it isn't ideal (long way, route i've travelled before, another page wasted in the carnet etc.).
2. 960km up to ndola and on to jimbe, at the junction of drc/angola/zambia. however michelin map shows pretty ordinary 'tracks' on the other side, and T4A gives the vague description "road"...
3. 830km to caripande / kalasa (due west of lusaka). T4A describes the road on the angolan side as "2 spoor, gravel".
anyone have thoughts / suggestions / experience??
info on fuel situation would also be great...
