TRIP TO ZAMBIA

Postby saraf » Tue Mar 24, 2009 3:25 pm

Hi Guy's

Hope you all are well and flying safely.

Thought I share some of our pictures I took on our trip From SA, to Botswana and final destination Mkushi Zambia in our trusty RAF 2000 SA.

Enjoy

Ongeblerie looflik! nice trip, nice fotos, 10 uit 10 vir die mense wat so iets aanpak. Ek het eenkeer Zambie(Skoonpa) toegery met 'n 2.5 diesel isuzu bakkie en met die bus terug gekom? Isuzu het so van zambie gehou dat hy maar besluit het om bearings te slaan.
Dit lyk darem of die Subie huistoe verlang het.

Cheers Coen.

WOW Eben. Nice trip.
Great pix, but add some info on the trip.
Was it for fun, or bussiness?
Was it easy going across the border ?

Hi Low Level,

Trip was for fun and for Business in Zambia,

Border crossings was no problem, the people more interested in the RAF than anything els. People in Botswana very very very friendly and the same in Zambia. If you did something wrong, you just play (I did not know, Sorry) and then they forgive you, heheheheh
Was great fun. As you can see the terrain is out of this world.
They did not want us to fly over the Victoria falls as cloud level was at 800FT and you are not allowed under 6000FT (2000FT agl)

We are maybe planning another trip there in 3 to 4 months time to, shout if you wanna go with .

Eben Jnr
