Driving the Great East Road in Zambia | Lusaka to Chipata

Driving the Great East Road in Zambia | Lusaka to Chipata
in this video we drive the Great East Road, the T4 from Lusaka to Chipata. Why the Great East Road? Because it takes you to the South Luangwa National Park, the best park in Zambia as well as to the Malawian border.
I'll show you some scenery, road conditions, as well as where to find fuel, food and money.

Thank you so much man, You took me to those good days. I've been there and I have passed through precisely these villages. I love Zambia and Zambians are one of the kindest nations in Africa.

“I love Africa”. Thanks for sharing. Road trips in Zambia are beautiful even with a few potholes along the route.

[@thulanintunja3349]

The bridge over the Luangua river is quite a landmark.Crossed it in 95 en route to Malawi but on the steep just after crossing the bus I was in collided with a bus to Lusaka by the side mirrors and our bus reversed for about 50 mitres .It was scary.

[@SamBangweulu]

Great video. I loved the song you were playing when you were crossing the Chongwe Toll Plaza. I looked it up on youtube and now I am a fan of Cody Francis. I will let him know that you got me there. All the best in all your travels.

[@Jenniehogan77]

About to drive this route in 2 weeks. Our first self drive. Thanks for the important tips eg no night driving and fill up when tank is half full. Were the toilets easy enough to find in the towns? Are the petrol stations the best place to find one?

[@NickfrNamibia]

hey, yes I was told by the locals that toilets are available at all garages. Of course you'll find them in various states.

[@africalisa]

Was thinking... would love to 'meet' some of the people ... then there they were... with mice on sticks.... YIKes....

😂mice on a stick

[@Boristheborat]

Just curious as to why you should stay off roads at night? I'm an American and have traveled to every continent except Africa. I was thinking Zambia would be a good spot to rent a car and drive. Should I reconsider?

[@NickfrNamibia]

No you dont have to reconsider, just do your driving in the day. Reason is the roads are bad in some places, lots of people and animals on them and there is no light, lines on the road or traffic signs. So as a general rule here in Africa as travellers we stay off the roads at night.

[@Boristheborat]

@@NickfrNamibia thanks friend. Anywhere else beside your channel you would suggest I get some tips for African nations, zambia in general. Unless of course you suggest another country for my first time.

[@NickfrNamibia]

not sure, most of the other channels dont focus on information, more on the scenery etc you can try the 4x4 community forum from SA, they have a specific section on Zambia www.4x4community.co.za/forum/forumdisplay.php/171-Zambia
