Again Mongu, your description of the zambia avaition and political scene is very accurate and spot on! As a Zambian iam glad to see that some people have their facts right about Africa! Well done!

No worries! It’s nice to find somebody else who knows about the Zambian scene.

And guess where the name “mongu” came from?

I never lived in Zambia, but have been there a lot. I’ve flow to Kitwe Southdowns (is it closed now?), Ndola, Chingola, Mfuwe, Livingstone, Mongu and of course Lusaka.

I’m supposedly (though, to be honest, I’m trying to worm out of it) going to Livingstone in January. What is the best way? The last time I went there (easily 5 years ago) I flew from LUN with Zimbabwe Express Airlines on an ATR-42. The time before that it was a coach trip from Lusaka, an experience I don’t want to repeat. Somebody mentioned that you can now fly direct from JNB – is that so?
