    2003 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ 79 - Azalai conversion

    This Landcruiser will take you to the most remote destinations on earth, in comfort and style! This is the 4th Azalaï ever made. And very rare to have the passage to the front (legally approved by Toyota with EU paperwork to match). The conversion was done in 2003. A major overhaul...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    we carry a winch for a few years now.Used it only a handful of times in that period, although never to get us unstuck.Rather fior getting other people unstuck or moving things. But that debate has been done too lich already :-) Happy travels.

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    With expensive camera gear, we would have been even more out of place :-) we were already uneasy with taking out the 100€ point-and-shoot camera we had at the time. I think the terrible oictires quality actually adds to the story, it wouldn’t be the same with national geographic quality pictures...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    For the people reporting that the images do not show, can they please send me a private message if that is still the case. They have always been available, but my website hosting company is quite quick in geobanning certain areas. In any case, all the pictures have just been moved to a new...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    I might take you up on that offer one day. I am an avid fan of the desert. We have an Azalai now. Not the lababouch, but the dedicated one. I love it, provides a huge amount of comfort in a small package. For me this is about as big as I want my vehicle to be (for now, maybe one day you'll see...

    The language is French... but the artist certainly isn't. He is from Belgium ;-)

    Countries Visited: Resource

    66 - it would be cool to get to 70 before my 30th aniv! I think that, with the exception of Cambodia, I visited all these countries 'overland'. Meaning I entered and left these countries via a land/sea border with my own vehicle. ALGERIA DZ ANGOLA AO AUSTRIA AT B BELGIUM BE :ylsmoke...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    I really ought to start a few new threads... So many things to tell, so little time. A teaser of the evolution: From this To this To this Yes, that is a winch you see! It's broken though... ;-)

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Hi guys, thanks again for all the great feedback! Apologies for our silence of the last weeks. We spent some much needed time in Marocco... With our Landcruiser ofcourse ;-) I still owe you guys two posts: one with practicalities about the route (gps info,..) and one with a bit more info...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days, we've been terribly busy (planing trips :sombrero: ). Last night we had a test for the "Overland Live" session this Sunday. We will surely address some (most) of the questions asked here. Tickets are still available, but you need register in...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Thanks to everybody for leaving comments, we really appreciate it. The amount of attention this trip report is getting is insane! A quick round of answers to some questions. Sorry for not replying to everybody personally, we do read everything! Not "none", but it's close. The picture many...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Funny but you are right, we have very few picturs of our tent deployed. I guess it's a bit like taking pictures of your own house... I have never done that either. Strange... Here's one from another country (Benin) in a more relaxed mode ;-) Those are some very cool drawings by the way...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    A screenshot of the GPS data we collected in OziExplorer. I have some cleaning up to do regarding the waypoints but will make them available as soon as possible. You can see from our track that we covered 3067km in total. While the road should actually be something like 2300km. A note on...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Allow me to add the perspective of the author a trip report. Writing a trip report like this is a lot of work. I dare not count the hours I spent on it. Like most people here I have a huge list of things I want to do, but only so much time to do it in. Yet I chose to spent some of my valuable...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    But why don't you pay them the 'Grand Prize"? For you it's almost nothing I have read this trip report from a backpacker a long time ago. I can't remember his name or website so I cannot give credit. But he told of something that had happened to him in a south-east asian capital city. It went...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    The Wrap-up (It's going to be long... sorry. I normally don't like to be so serious, but I feel I have started something and I have to finish it. If you're only interested in the technical bits, they are the end) So is that what Congo is really like? Ofcourse not! This is what Congo could be...
