I can officially say that the Zambia Road Trip made it out of the group chat!
Last week my friends and I went on a road trip of a lifetime! We drove from Johannesburg to Livingstone, Zambia, walked over to Zimbabwe to see the Vic Falls and drove back to Johannesburg.
illers and I started planning this trip about a month ago and we managed to fill the MU-X with a great group of friends! We visited epic places, saw incredible landscapes and met lovely people.
This trip is one for the books, if you are thinking about doing a trip like this, here are some tips:
1. Download the iOverlander app. They give great recommendations on where to camp, eat, fuel up, where to sleep and epic photo spots!
2. Visit the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in Botswana.
3. Visit Gweta, Botswana.
4. Have your cross border documents printed and ensure that you have all of the necessary documents.
5. Chat to locals, they give the best advice on where to go and what to see.
6. If you drove to Zambia to see the Vic Falls, don’t drive over to Zimbabwe’s side, rather walk across the border.
7. Don’t drive at night, there are a lot of wild animals walking around.
