Victoria Falls to Lubumbashi

DAY 2, LEG 8 - Victoria Falls to Lubumbashi

The fuel man at Victoria Falls was a bit eager to fill the aircraft up despite me needing less than half tanks for the next leg to Lubumbashi.  This city in south-eastern Congo is the second largest in the country and relies on copper-mining as its main industry.  Having already landed in Zambia I was to fly all the way from Zimbabwe to DRC Congo for a fuel stop before heading to the Central African Republic for the night.

Lake Kariba again heading back up to Lusaka.
