Namibia-Angola Border Crossing at Calai

Crossing the footbridge over the Okavango River, we said goodbye to Namibia and ola to Angola. The immigration officer only spoke Portuguese, so in our best Portuñol pidgin, we explained our four-day Angola trip was for “ferias” (holiday purposes) and heard that sweet sound of a stamp hitting our passport. We may have been “in” but had no idea what we were getting into.
A fleet of moto taxis waved us over. So, with no cars in sight, our only choice was to each saddle up with a stranger and hope we were heading to the same place. Vrrrooom, we zipped through the sandy roads and into central Calai: two streets of shops, an outdoor market, a Portuguese bar…and one guesthouse!
