Angolan visa
I've heard (probably spuriously ) that the Angolan visa will be much easier to obtain from March 30 2018.
Does anyone have any reliable information about this? Cheers.

angola visa
Hi,
very good news for Cabinda and Angola traveller! If you have a tourist visa with one single entry you can enter Cabinda, leaving Cabinda to DRC, travel in transit through DRC and enter Angola (Near Matadi or Luvo) without a problem! I got this information from the immigration when I was entering Cabinda from Pointe Noire, and the same information, the moment when I was leaving Cabinda. In Luvo, we entered Angola without any problem.
This works, when you are in transit in the DRC -(we had been less than 48 hours in the DRC). So, with a single entry visa you can go directly Cabinda - DRC - Angola or vice versa (you are not allowed to stay in DRC and heat to Kinshasa for example).
Inside Angola, when we were controlled by immigration on the road, they saw our two entries - Cabinda and Angola - and nobody said anything.
In Namibia I met last week a German couple with an truck. After Cabinda they crossed the border to Angola near Matadi, also with one single entry visa.
Good news are not so often in Africa, but they exist. Michael

Did you need to have a DRC visa in advance, or get one at the border, in order to transit DRC like this?

Hi,
of course you have to have the visa in advance. You have to TRANSIT the DRC and you are not allowed to spend more time than necessary for the Transit in DRC.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
