DR Congo (Lubumbashi) mid-Jan
I will be in Ndola, Zambia around 16 January heading to Lubumbashi and on to Kinshasa.
Anyone around for a or a road-trip, please let me know.
From Kinshasa I'm heading to Europe up the west coast, travelling fairly quickly.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
Are you actually aware of the state of the "road" between Lubumbashi and Kinsasha (even more as you will be there full in the rainy season). I do not know anybody who achieved this leg in less than 4 weeks (for 2,000 k).
For example:
www.aux4vents.eu
Even Northern and Western Zam won't be that easy, unless you stick to the tar. Probably more info on www.4x4community.co.za, Zambia section (you won't find tar everywhere - in the part of the DRC you intend to cross, they don't know what tar means..).
Cheers..
Eric

Hi Dave,
Keep us posted with what you discover. I hope to be doing the reverse later in the year.
Enjoy.

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.
