Unlock Angola’s Hidden Wilderness: The Untamed Route from Calai to Dirico That Travellers Dare Not Miss!
Road Tripping Southern Angola
Now to arrange a road trip to explore more of Angola! There were only a handful of non-governmental cars in town, and the best truck happened to be parked at our guesthouse. We went out on a limb and asked the vehicle-owner, Peter, if he’d be willing to show us around the Southern Angola countryside. This unexpected request was met with an even bigger offer to join him the following day on his 120km trip to Dirico with a stop to meet one of the queens of the Cuando-Cubango province! He warned us it was going to be a long day and a rough road, but to us it sounded like a fantastic opportunity. Off we went on a wild ride down a one-lane highway, built by the Portuguese a century ago and engulfed with deep sand and thick brush. Between walls of bushes, we’d catch glimpses of the mighty Okavango River, the occasional grouping of mud-thatch huts, and fields of pearl millet for a scenic drive.
