I have stumbled upon your video and very impressed with the honesty, decency and humble clarity on how you have traversed through challenges. I have decided to subscribe to your channel and will follow you henceforth. I'm sure all will be fine. Welcome to my country, Zambia 🇿🇲 Ben Mulenga
Hope you guys get the attention of the diplomatic mission/embassy. Love that you folks are so focussed on the journey and the vision to complete your countries.
Hi guys! Just stumbled upon your video. If you are still in Zambia, I am happy to put you up in Lusaka for free for up to a month until you get your visa. It's got very good power back up and internet so you'll have no problems there. Let me know. Welcome to Zambia!
Aww! Pretty crazy.. keep at it.. stay safe and definitely my world views are mostly through your travel vlogs.. great job.. and thanks for going through at it.. 👍
Hi, Lusaka person here who has been near to where you come from. I was in Vellore India (at CMC) and i think one of those small towns we pass through as we drive from Chennai is Kanantarka. GUESS what? Southern Indian food the masai dorsa, the slice juice etc was surprising to me cos i was expecting more of biryani and pulai rice. And everybody around me drank hot tea or coffee in the hottest of times there!
Masala Chai and Dose are quite the simple happiness we need when away :-). Also while you were eating they were screening some sport. What was that? Do they follow football more so?
That’s very unfair. I’m in northern Zambia. If you need a place to stay you are welcome to stay with us. We are off the grid so no power issues. If you need a place to stay while you wait. You are welcome.
Guys hope you are doing well 🙏🙏 stay safe ❤️ Hope you guys are going great together. Stay together always. Hope your future travels are safer and less stressful trips
Come to West Africa and parts of Central Africa after visiting Southern part of Africa.....its a whole different vibe, beautiful cultures, people and places and its way greener than where you are bcos its the tropical zone of the continent
So sorry 🙏 to hear about your visas to be issued for the countries that you both want to tour. There's still hope that something good will happen and work out for you both. Have faith... help is on its way to your rescue. Take care and be safe ✌️🙏😊
I am from Zambia. Sorry about the power outage. I pray to the Almighty God that you guys find a way around the visa conundrum and complete your tour as planned. Nevertheless, enjoy Africa.
Thank you for saying that.. its hard even for us with these power outages and I am sorry that the Missions for those countries are not being helpful. I wish you all the very best. Oh!!! thanks for confirming that these Indian restaurants are actually giving legit foods 😉😉
Sorry mates to hear about your predicament with the visa issue of trying to enter Botswana, Mozambique, Angola & South Africa. If your issue was related to a Zambian visa, I could have had some good suggestions for you. Unfortunately, I can’t help for the other other countries. I just hope that something good will work out for you to visit the other countries. As for Victoria falls, feel free to go there & see it with little water & then see it again in future during its peak water season
Kenya is the only country which has a very easy & seem-less visa process, it's not complicated or has Lots of requirements, Immigration System in Africa need a Complete overhaul for easy travel across the Continent!
Agree that Kenya's ETA has made the visa process super smooth! Hope more countries in Africa make things a bit easier for genuine travellers to visit their amazing countries!
Sorry, you have to go through this. Travelling in Africa is always logistically challenging, even for Africans. The Indian government should negotiate bilaterally with countries to make life easier for its citizens. In the short term, I think you can reach out to the relevant countries' embassies back in India to see if they could help with e-visas or other means to help you proceed with your plans.
@@TheBackpacksters I know of few Indians who have entered on arrival to Botswana but limited to 14 days . Can’t find anything official on this . I can check and let you guys know in few days .
Was told if your traveling by air in gaberone in Botswana it’s 15 days on arrival visa But entry by road could be complicated depending on the point of entry
Apart from india, durban has the highest Indian population, next is Tanzania, Zambia and malawi. Reach out to your comrades. Go south where their are a lot of hindis
Hi you guys, stumbled upon your video ! Lusaka person here. To help you save, I am happy to put you up in a two bedroom fully furnished apartment for free for one month. No problems with power , fully backed up with solar. You'll have it to yourselves. You'll be able to cook.Internet available. Let me know!
This passport index is aimed like hunger index report against India. Indian middle class is exploring a lot and contributing tourism to many countries Few countries regardless of pasport index attracting indian Tourists Many countries are now adopting UPI ,In future for indians travelling is even more easier and comfortable (Visas and Payments) In next 5 to 10 years pass port Index is nullified completely
@@TheBackpacksters The majority of those who pray do not pray in the truth because they worship dead ancestral spirits whom they claim are alive and declare that they are objects of their worship. Most religions worship the dead in shrines & are linked to them through altars or worship mortals!
We would love to! But a few folks we spoke to advised us against going overland from Lubumbashi to the Angolan border (Dilolo) which is 750 KMs by road for safety reasons
hi navneeth & shishira, Hope you guys are doing good, I can help you with Mozambiq visa, and if any visa's you need also i can help you out regarding those. If you need any favour do let me know, i'm also a solo traveller, i know the pain you guys are coming across. Thank you
We did do our homework. Pay attention to what we've said in the video. And you need to learn to be nicer- it's easy - watch and Learn from any other Zambians.
Yea! Shame on you Agnes! You clearly havnt gone through life's struggles yet.. remember how you lacked compassion for others. I hope no one helps you in your darkest hours... you'll have your turn if you live long enough here on earth. Karma is real regardless if your a believer or not. You'll remember this message when life knocks you.

Football is a powerful religion here in Africa! 😃

@@TheBackpacksters I recently met you and I am genuinely saddened by your set back. Looking forward to more of your travel adventures.
Mr.murrthy very helpful..
Yes, helpful!
Isn’t Bostwana VIsA on arrival at the border, heard a lot of folks got it while visiting Chobe from Victoria falls
Unofficially? 😅🤓

Oh yes! We're fascinated with the western and central parts of Africa too. Maybe someday in the future we get to come there 🤓

Thats super kind of you Sheila! Thank you so much!
suggest to tweak your route a little, go to Zimbabwe > Madagascar > Reunion > Mauritius > back to India or Seychelles & then India
That's a big detour that may not work within our budget 😅 but we've been to Reujion and Mauritius before 🤓
Come to ndola town in copper belt province of Zambia 🇿🇲 you can meet Mr Girish who help Indian's living in Zambia 🇿🇲
Thanks for this information! We'll keep this in mind 🤓

This has to be very frustrating. Still, you ended with good food and smiles.
Yes, the food helped with the smiles 😅
You should have done enquiries before starting the journey..
We did. Did you pay attention to what we said in the video?

Is life easy for Africans in India?
Botswana visa u can get on arrivers
Thanks for this information!
You can get a 14 day on arrival visa for Botswana with Indian passport .
That's encouraging to hear. Is this officially stated?

I learnt how to pray in truth when confronted by problems.
In 'truth' because prayer in the spirit of lies is not prayer!
Agree about praying in truth, but curious why you would say prayer in the spirit of lies?
@@TheBackpacksters
The majority of those who pray do not pray in the truth because they worship dead ancestral spirits whom they claim are alive and declare that they are objects of their worship.
Most religions worship the dead in shrines & are linked to them through altars or worship mortals!
@@TheBackpacksters
When prayer is not covered by the spirit of truth but by mortals or the dead.
Ask wahe guru they can issue visa from Ministry but that will be expensive but you can do that for one country
We did approach them last week, but the response was lukewarm. We'll try again!
Did Zambia have Visa upon Arrival
No it didn't
Sorry.. the phase will pass..
Hopefully 🙏🏼😊
Why not go to congo while you are waiting for your visa
We would love to! But a few folks we spoke to advised us against going overland from Lubumbashi to the Angolan border (Dilolo) which is 750 KMs by road for safety reasons
Just stay here 😂😂 👋👍
😂😅
our Indian couple, Go Angola is bit more open and vibrant. Tell us how we can help you. All we can do is to fund rise for you.. Keep going
Thank you for your kindness! Hoping to figure this out soon 🙏🏼🤓
Just apply for zambian residency lol
😅😅
Yeah, that will be cool. 😂😂 Apart from the power outage, Zambia is ok.
Well just stay in Zambia. Lol
Okay 😅

Thank you
Thank you Kumar, very kind of you! Are you based in Mozambique?
@@TheBackpacksters NO, i'm in india.
Maybe you should have done your research rather than assume. Had you done yo homework you wouldn't be ranting
