I was warned about this road in Zambia!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- I had just entered Zambia from Namibia and had spend the night in a small campground right on the Zambezi river in the border town Sesheke.
I was about to take on possibly the worst road in Africa, the M10 from Sesheke to Kazungula. People had warned me about it - but I get so many warnings all the time, and often I end up thinking "Ah, was that it". But this one was different! It actually lived up to its reputation.
In this video you will also see how I behave when I think I am meeting dishonest police officers. In this situation I chose to be a bit b*itchy. Just me trying to survive travelling alone. Still don't know if the council levy is supposed to be paid for motorcycles or not.
No matter, the officers were actually very nice.
Enjoy the ride!

The world need more people like you,the joy you are putting in people's faces is awesome 👌
What a sweet comment 😊🏍🔥
Thanks and you most welcome
No it does not. She is a parasite who refuses to obey the law. Complains about our roads and refuses to pay road taxes. She needs to go away
OMG! Zambia looks almost identical to my country Kenya, from vegetation, weather, landscape, etc. Awesome video 👏
That is true
Am from zambia but from time to time i go to dar es salaam to collect vehicles.I tell you we are just similar in a lot of things.
I sometimes hardly realise that i am in a different country.
Zambia like Kenya are both Savannah vegetation
Not quite. This is the dry side of Zambia. It is different from the north
@@danielnyundu2286 Tanzania and Zambia are the closest of countries in every way.
The fact that you can entertain us by talking whilst riding is amazing! The respect and support you gave the locals is a 10 in my books. This is great content. Love from Zambia.
Awww thanks a lot 😊🏍🔥
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels He is telling you rubbish. You are insolent and arrogant. You brought nothing to our country except vilification of our roads on RUclips. No one invited you to Zambia. You have bait click title about the worst road in the world. Why do we owe you a road? Why do we owe you admission into our country? You sleep in a tent, use our toilets and drink our water free of charge. What do we get from you?
You handled the council guys well. Great video
I just love your personality. You're lovely, friendly, approachable, happy and always ready to greet people you come across. You got a new subscriber from Nigeria
Oh wauw so cool. I would really love to visit your country one day!
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels Looking forward to seeing you in Nigeria
This is the first video I'm watching from you. I don't know how this is. You are such a good lady and you are worthy my subscription. You should have more views. Humanity is what you represent and I like the world with people like you. You accept other cultures with ease and that's so humbling
Oh wauw, what a lovely comment. Thanks a lot! 🥰🏍🔥
That's truth for us, you've seen the squalor that peverds the rural areas of Zambia 🇿🇲.
Thank you for sharing and keeping it real, I love your documentary, every second of it.
I am definitely subscribed!
Thank you very much!
How gadem taxing people we are only visiting the Country, are they working or selling not engaged in any profit or earning income would be task, some uncivilized County think visitor needs to be tax,. That's as happened to me many times I have to explain through a whole length before they could understand, sometimes i got abused, hasrh words, insulting, mocking, laugh off, i believed they just want to exploit you as they did to many innocent travelers.
Shut up and stop disparaging your own country to make good with foreigners. When her relatives were running Zambia, things were 100 times worse, and you and every black person was not a citizen of the country. We do not go to her country; we do not judge her country. If she comes ours, she needs to be respectful and obedient of the law and our officials.
I'm from Zambia myself and thank you for this wonderful video. The first guy who stopped you was a liar. Once you pay road tax you have no need to pay anything else... really sorry you had to go through that.
Lmao... In Denmark you have Hondas.
No council levy is needed also
I take it you are yet to buy a car via Nakonde. As long as that car does not have a Zambian registration the district council will charge you a levy. The motor cycle is not registered in Zambia and the council levy is within the law.
You also pay council levy.
Its an important payment especially for vehicles.
It must've been one hell of a ride but yet enjoyable. The good part of using your own transport is stopping wherever you want when you find something interesting along the road.
Yes, it's really magic to have that freedom.
😂😂😂 i love how you say Losi it's Lozi and what you were trying to say is Hande 🤗 There is this saying in Lozi "Lukaba Hande" means "we will be alright" ❤️ I enjoy this video
😄😄😄 Thank you!
You have a good heart supporting local traders. Unfortunately everyone turns a blind eye to fuel siphoned from commercial vehicles to be sold on the road side. 100% profit for the trader 100% loss for the transporter.
Wow I like these types of videos, very nice. You've earned a new sub 😉. The council guys have overstepped their mandate and the dry fish is actually really good because its smoked aswell. Great job, this helps us appreciate our country's simplicity in the rural areas even more.
Oh I have to give the fish a try next time. Thanks for your comment.
How do you know what their mandate is? Are you a Zambian government official? If I did one tenth of what she did, you would deport me from your country.
@@user-bk6gx7sg3j yes i work for the Zambian government
Well I like your communication skills and how you associate with the local people, I'm from Zambia by the way ✌️
Thanks a lot! 😊🏍🔥
Hi I’ve lived in Zambia for a year with many of my college mates for an internship program. As much as I liked living there, I find it appalling that my foreign looking friends including I gets stopped many times by a police officer when I sit on the front seat. (In Lusaka, the town part). So I started having a local friend to drive and there was no one to stop us at all. I had told this to my local friends and their response was “they have to find other ways to get money because the gov doesn’t pay them well” :/ we were just students, we had no extra cash to give 😢 it was kinda hard for us to have a positive attitude, but we tried. And I see this video, I was inspired by how patient and joyful you are in every situation. May God bless!
Thanks a lot. Yes, I always try ( but sometimes fail) to have a positive attitude. If I was looking for easy then I could have stayed in Europe. 😊🏍🔥
True...always find a good local friend
As much as this is true and sad, we also have instances where we natives get treatment that we see foreigners, especially white ones, being exempted from. I guess when it’s your day to be unfortunate it’s just your day.
Woow you are so so wonderful young lady, so cheerful to everyone, making everyone feel respected & appreciated. What I really like is that you are enjoying every bit of your journey, go girl!!
Thanks a lot Pattick. I appreciate your comment. 🙂
she's not young
@@rembujosef6045 So true 😄
The first of your videos I've watched. Getting the Itchy Boots vibe, even the laughter 😀
Did you sleep next to the hippos? That's so brave!
I see the council officials there are as idle as those in my country Kenya, and just want to make life difficult for everyone.
Enjoy your travels and ride safe, God bless you always.

Welcome here. 😊🏍🔥
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels Thank you! ☺️
Sesheke is my home town and am happy with your positivity and you clearly had fun despite the bad road.
Thanks a lot! I really did enjoy every minute. Lovely people and country!
I drove on that road during the rainy season.
It was a hell of a ride and very long as well
Thanks for visiting Zambia.
Keep doing what you are doing
Urgh, sounds like a nightmare
Why are you thanking her?
Amazing lady keeping us informed and inspired to become adventurers
Thank you 😊
Man please, stop this nonsense. This woman was arguing with our officials, and refusing to pay road tolls.
I was brought up in Livingstone, we used to call potholes in the roads graves because if you fall into one you might never be seen again! 🤣
😄😄😄
Very funny😂 in Rainy season we call them fish ponds
Do not worry about our country. If you do not like it, stay gone. We lovely everything about it, pot holes included
You relate with the locals so well. I appreciate you and your African stories .
Love you Henriette. You have a beautiful spirit. Keep safe
Thanks a lot! 😊🏍🔥
Wow 11:06 , buying gasoline is different, no pumps. Awesome trip and thank you for sharing!
OMG, you have an exceedingly kind soul.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks a lot 🥰🏍🔥
What kind soul?
Tht guy in a yellow vest wz taking chances sumhow but wooow a lady on a CRF Honda 250 flyer,nice adventure in thoz remote areas.salute
This is awesome... you need a rider alongside you, we here as support system for exploration in zambia 🇿🇲
You are now talking rubbish
Your bubblyness(sic) makes your videos addictive.
Awwww! What a lovely comment 🥰
I love ❤your video. I am from Namibia and I also recently drove on that Kasungula -Sesheke road all by myself Oh boy , what a road , what an experience, what a beautiful country Zambia. I wanna do that road again🥰
The guys on the check point as you were leaving Sesheke are not police officers but council/municipality workers. We all pay council levy but a motor bike is too small to pay. Am so sorry about our bad roads and I hope by the time you visit again it's gonna be a different story.
Dang. That guy singing. Just brilliant!
😊🏍🔥
i just took this road with the local bus, and it must have been the most bumpy ride i've seen all over the world. but i saw a lot of interesting things a long the way. i think i took 6 hours for about 100km. I loved Zambia so much
peace from Norway
Oh, respect to you! Yes, I also really loved it there - but bumpy it was! :D
thanks for being kind and supportive to our Zambian poor villagers
Poor really 😢
love your interaction with the locals ❤❤❤,you awesome with a blessed Heart
Thank you. I have met do much friendliness
The locals, you are not a Zambian???
@@user-bk6gx7sg3j i can even be a Chinese, whats your problem ? can't blame your english teacher
I had to subscribe because your friendliness gave me a funtime touring Zambia 🇿🇲 through your video
Thanks a lot 😊
You have such a good heart
Thank you!
That chap i a yellow vest is not a police officer. He is a Council guy with no mandate to do traffic checks. What he is doing is unlawfull
Really. I did seem weird.
The guy was within his mandate, Council charges motor vehicle levi which include motorcycle as well
@@SakalaAaron I think you are right. I also got the feeling that they were telling the truth. :) Thanks a lot for clarifying.
They are only allowed to collect money from tracks and light tracks that are carrying goods.. he was not mandated. If it was a tool gate yes but this is a council check point
What is was doing was lawful , he just can't perform traffic checks or police officers duty . Just collection of levi thats it . If he is given difficulties thats when he can hand the individual over to police or take down the licence plate
I really like your courage ............you see how good Zambia is people always nice and friendly and welcomes every one regardless your racism ...never mind what happened at the check point still we are great people. Next time when you come please visit me in chingola i will accommodate you fully and you will go back smiling
Thank you. I fully agree. I liked the guys at the check point. Everyone's just trying to make a living. Happy New Year to you 😊🏍🔥
You are very brave been using that road en route Namibia buy car I can't imagine how unbearable it was for you by bike. Brave woman
OMG 😱... That dude from the local authority 😂😂😂 Dude ruined everything 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
worry about your country, maybe?
@@user-bk6gx7sg3j So iwe what do you think my country is? Nikuti ba council ba ma Tenga levy pa road apart from ma truck ya ma log na malasha?
@@joekazhama5789 I do not speak that language, I am a Tonga. I am not sure what you are trying to prove, but you should not be supporting this nonsense by this white woman. Before you start criticising this man, go through the normal channels and ask if what he was doing was illegal. There may be aspects of the law that you do not know. The man produced a receipt book, which would have been proof of whatever he asked her to do. The video is here, forward it to the government of Zambia and report here if what the official did is wrong.
@@user-bk6gx7sg3j
1.
Which council collects levy from bikes?
2.
You one of the many useless Zambian then!
I am not Tonga, Bemba or Chawe but I understand and speak 15 Zambian languages..
3.
I can't share into your bitterness, I don't have inherited hate.
Free advice...👇👇
Get your life together and see past language and Color, you will be amazed!
People should note the friendliness of our people. Thank you and apologies for the bad road which looks like there was a project to dig it up
So friendly. Loved your country.
It was nice seeing my home town after a long time.thanks for this video.
I really loved Zambia 🇿🇲
No you're not the Slowest person.... you're actually the best rider because you take time and interest to know about the local people. Cool💚
Thank you 😊🏍🔥
One thing I didn't like about this video is that it ended I loved every single minute of it especially the people you meet along the way and the pothole road made it more entertaining however I was sweating thinking you encounter some wild animals 😂😂😂
Awww! What a sweet comment! Thank you!
Am from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and have traveled that road and i know how bad it is. Its actually worse in rainy season. But even though the road is bad the people you meet along the way just makes it beautiful, full of love and always willing to help and engage in a conversation.
Couldn't agree more!
Very BRAVE lady. BRAVO lioness!!!🎉🎉
Excellent video, imagine you pay all those taxes to drive on those roads 🤪 look forward to the next one
Hahaha! Very good point! Some expensive potholes!!! 😄
and she hasnt even got to the toll boths yet ! The Slogan the toll gates use is "pay your tolls for sustainable road maintenance"
The problem is us human beings we accept everything without questioning, today. 'Why are you injecting me'? 'why am I paying for on a hellrun?' 'what am I paying for in a dirty toilet without even sanitizers?'
As a Zambian resident I highly recommend you dont support the Pirate gasoline sellers as apart from the fact their fuel is filthy dirty due to zero regulation more often than not almost all of their fuel is stolen from trucks etc often by the drivers of the vehicles (not the owners). It is a huge problem here in Zambia not to mention you were being heavily ripped off.
Thanks for your advice!
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels this is true be careful
Thank you for showing the world the beautiful country of Zambia
We’re a good honest and friendly people
It is a well documented and educative video. Keep up the good spirit
Good luck
I agree. Really lovely people in Zambia 🇿🇲
I love your sense of humour, thank you for supporting the man who sold you some gas for your bike, conversing so nicely with the locals as though youv'e had known them for some time🙌🙌🙌🙌 wow!! If really our plannet could be filled with such people, we would be a better plannet. Thank you once more❤
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your comment! 😊🏍🔥
Lol...
You are most welcome mum❤
Greetings. You have a amazing channel and as a Zambian I'm disappointed u experienced that level of corruption when you was stopped to pay some sort of council fee for your motorbike. You handled that well n your welcome to report it to RSTA. Only a official toll gate will charge u a fee.
Thanks a lot Isaac. I am ok with this experience. They never asked for any money from me. Do you know if motorcycles are supposed to pay the council fee? Or is it only cars?
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels You don't pay any fees to any local council for road tax. Only to RSTA which u paid to use your bike on public roads when you entered our borders.You may have to pay a toll fee at a official tall gate, stay safe and enjoy what our country has to offer.
@@isaac-mambo Thanks Isaac. Your country is so amazing. I really loved it. 🥰🏍🔥
Also advise your government to place people who can express themselves well
Noraly must be very proud, great video and keep on improving each episode
I am not Noraly :)
Noraly is a cultured woman. She is more evolved than this
That gentleman at the first check point wasn't supposed to have checked traffic,but for issues of council Levy. That was quite embarrassing,to say the least. Shame upon him. Just too corrupt. Those chaps must be charged.
Good thing he never asked me to pay anything.
No council for bikes and small cars. Only if you are carrying goods from shesheke district
Thanks James. It seems everybody says something different here in the comments.
The Sesheke-Kazungula and Chinsali-Nakonde stretches have been bad for more than 10 years. Been driving across Zambia at least once every two years - only recently I see some efforts being made.
Must be so tough for the locals. For me it was quite amazing, but I felt bad for those who need to travel for work or to a hospital.
I travelled the Sesheke road to Livingstone in 2018 in a mini-bus. The bumps were horrible, potholes everywhere. Also be careful of scammers, there are lots of them in Zambia. If you need to ask information, ask older people and women. Avoid young men.
Just came across your channel..and my my my young lady, you are super awesome😃👍amazing trek. Wonderful journey through your lense in the beautiful Zambia😃🇿🇲
Awww! Thank you!
you are a wonderful person
This is amazing Madam, I like your spirit and I wish in future I will have a big machine like your to travel with. all the best
Nice one, am in love with the way you do your things, keep it up lovely person 👍

Thanks for watching! No need to be sorry! I enjoyed every second in Zambia. Such lovely people.

I loved every single minute!
First video encounter ❤️💯
Welcome here 😊🏍🔥
so happy I found u n ur channel again.....
I have enjoyed watching your video, you have gained a new subscriber.
Thanks a lot. Welcome here! 🤩
MY DEAR Zambians, this sort of thing will keep all intending visitors and tourists out!!
I enjoyed your video trip to Livingstone but we have a lot of such roads on the Eastern part of Zambia too. If you riding to Malawi or to Tanzania using Lundazi Road M12 then you will experience the same hash treatment from that road. But you would enjoy Mfuwe thought the road is giving up too
Ush! Poor truck drivers!!!!
I'm a zambian and I do recognise the fact that some bad roads do exist. Anyways enjoy!
Imagine this road in the rainy season 😮
Nice video. I travelled the route from Lusaka to Livingston via Kalomo 2015 but don't remember roads were this bad. But I liked the dry savanah thickets environment and small homesteads dotted sparsely on flat terrain
This road is btw Kazungula and Sesheke. It's just a short stretch of 40-50 km's that's this bad, but it takes hours!
I am in Botswana, you have shown me party of Livingston road, the 40 kilometers pot whole road, the traffic officials and the interaction with the people @ large. Zambia is just like my country.
Oh Botswana was one of my favorite countries in Africa. Such lovely people.
Wow wow just wow 🥰 this is really awesome otherwise, the potholes made the journey superb, I'm also adventurous too and this really has captivated me and ignited me to be back on the road... On your next trip I'll be glad to join you.
Thanks Seer
You're welcome 😊
I enjoyed watching your video especially that you were in my village, Sesheke, I guess the potholes and friendly people made your ride even more fun 🤭😅!
Oh wauw, really! I really liked Sesheke. If you come by the MTN store, say hi to the lady there :)
Do not apologise for our country. We are doing the best we can. If she can does not like it, let her take and hike and go somewhere else. She refused to pay road taxes; she quarrelled with the officials, and bitched about pot holes. It our damn country. If we want we plant nails on every centimeter of the sesheke Livingstone road. We owe no damn explanation
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels our damn country. If we want we can plant nails on every centimeter of the Sisheke Livingstone road. We owe no damn explanation to you or anyone else. You do not like our country, go somewhere else.
@@user-bk6gx7sg3j Off course you don't owe me anything. I loved your country and every post I made and every video I made, shows it clearly.
Sorry you feel hurt that I show how bad that specific road is. I do hope for your sake and for all other locals who have to travel on that road, that it will be improved one day. You all deserve it.
I am sorry you felt it was a criticism of your country. I love Zambia and especially love the people. ❤
The road is bad. I really hope they work on it soon. And I miss my country haha. Best video I've seen today
😄😄😄
That was very nice, I like your kindness, next time visit us in Swaziland, you gonna love it
I really loved Swaziland! Lovely people
You are such a nice person
Awww! Thanks a lot! I try 😊🏍🔥
Good.The positive thing regarding this video is that it's a marketing vehicle to our lovely big country.As long as we want Zambia developed, let's have external analysts give us their views.We turn weak points into strengths as a developing country.Ee are Zambians and we love our country.
Where there's more rain, that road would have been called Lake District! ☺
No the rain will come it has just begun. This trip was taken before the rain begun. It is a veritable river in rain season running parallel to one of the world's largest rivers the Zambezi
@@muhammadnawaz5039 I guess water is what the country needs most, so that's a hooray? 🤗
During rain season, all those deep potholes are filled up with fish. You only have to get down from your bike or motorcar and throw your fishing hooks. It has been like this since 2013 till now. More blessings in rainy seasons, delays during your fishing kkk
You were very lucky it was dry season otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get to Livingstone in the wet rainy season.
Zambian president must be proud of this road
Hahah! Indeed!
the guy in the yellow vest had no right to stop you. That council check point is for cargo lorries carrying trees, good or charcoal out of the district. Motorbikes are not supposed to pay council fee at a council check point
Right, there seems to be very different opinions about this in the comments. Anyway, I didn't pay anything. Thanks a lot for your comment. 😊🏍🔥
lovely content. i love your sense of humor
Thank you 😊🏍🔥
You’re a better person than me 😂😂😂. I would have refused to pay and proceeded.
Saw this video being played by my barber, when I got home I quickly search for it and here I am
Where a u ,dear? A u not visiting Nakonde?near the border with Tanzania?
Amazing video
I wonder when this road will be fixed!!! Terrible
Has to be the most kind travelers the come to Zambia ❤️
Awww! Has to be one of the nicest comments on this video 🥰
I do not blame her. The challenge is that there are too many counters or areas to go to. They need to streamline all these processes and make a single desk where all these payments are made. All these revenue collectors for each section can be on one desk so that it is easy for visitors to pay for all documents required
Thats great presentation
Thank you for reminding us of that road 😂... we used it this year with my wife driving VW transporter t5 twice it was hard 😢😢
The money 💰 we paid at boarder and road didn’t match at all... Glad you made it safe with no tire puncher... nice 👍 video. Keep riding.
You are welcome 😆 I am sure it's a lot harder in a big car. I just need 5 cms to get by! 😂
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels Yah sure very hard it was a free massage not I request lol 😂
It took me 3:30 hrs to cross all millions of Dams but was funny coz Zambians are friendly people buying traditional food along the road. Waiting for more videos and stay safe...

I did visit a lot of places. Kafue National Park was my favorite, but there were so many lovely places. Would love to come back one day
Yaya. My God ...there is no road to talk about there... Twenty years old I worked on the same road with Concon and group Five.. as a site clerk.. the road begged for resurfacing long long time ago..
Wauw, you really know this road then.
Great video. Will try that route in 2023
Am from Zambia this is amazing content
