Cameroon to Namibia

I have just done this trip, returnewd home last week - your biggest problem will be getting through Angola - it can be done but getting the visa can be a challenge.

We travelled south from Yaounde to the border with Equatorial Guinea - for which we had visas from their embassy in Washington - but they wouldn't let us in. So we crossed into Gabon instead - at the adjacent border - you need a Gabonese visa before arrival and you will need to prebook a hotel in Libreville before you can get it. The road south through Gabon is amazing - a beautifully constucted sealed road - for all but about 50km of really rugged washed out potholed road. I think you could probably get local buses most of the way but we just hired drivers and cars (unofficial taxis) from town to town. It is worth a visit to Lambarene to the Albert Scweitzer hospital and museum. Libreville doesn't have a lot of charm.....

The road south thru Gabon is said to be a bit rough - and with the heavy rainfalls most of southern Africa has had recently - it could be a problem. Insted we flew to Sao Tome - an island 300km offshore - spent some time here then flew to Luanda. We paid for a vehicle/driver to take us around Angola and eventually were dropped off on the Namibian border at the Santa Clara crossing. It was a great trip - but you need a few $$$$ to pay your way - if you have time and not so much money you could do it cheaper and get (if you are lucky) a 5 day transit visa for Angola, having headed south in Gabon and crossed Congo - both Brazzaville and Kinshasa.....

Good luck
