I just drove from Luanda to Gabon in a HJ60 Land Cruiser. You definitely should cross at Luvo, not Matadi. Good tar all the way from Luanda. After Luozi you have different options. I drove more or less along tbe river to Manianga, than to Loumo. Did not pass through Boko, because road to Loumo is better. You will get first tar at Louangi. Most difficult parts around the border: steep and deep gullies because of the rain (but now dry!). Piste from Dolisie to Ndende is dusty, but not too bad

thanks, thanks thanks!!!!

I 'm studying your directions on the map !!!!!

Finding the way is not really an issue in dry season, if you are by car 2days should ok...by motorbike its tough but also feasible, drive is very slow.

From kimpese to the river you can manage in few hours, ferry i think runs until 16.00 (get there early, it can be fully ''booked), in Luozi you can find restaurants and hotels (we camped at the local church). Leaving early in the morning you can get at Boko in mid afternoon!

there last year...very nice route, wonderful time in boko!

thanks stefano!
