I was warned about this road in Zambia!

- 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!

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.
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 😄
OMG, you have an exceedingly kind soul.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks a lot 🥰🏍🔥
What kind soul?
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
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
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
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 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 😊🏍🔥
It was nice seeing my home town after a long time.thanks for this video.
I really loved Zambia 🇿🇲
First video encounter ❤️💯
Welcome here 😊🏍🔥
OMG 😱... That dude from the local authority 😂😂😂 Dude ruined everything 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
worry about your country, maybe?
@@MzeewaUjiji 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.
@@MzeewaUjiji
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!
That was very nice, I like your kindness, next time visit us in Swaziland, you gonna love it
I really loved Swaziland! Lovely people
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
Amazing video
Secondly don’t buy fuel from the road they mix it with kerosene
Thank you for supporting our community
The road is bad. I really hope they work on it soon. And I miss my country haha. Best video I've seen today
😄😄😄
Next time when you visit our hometown sesheke, reach us along the road so that we make fun
Deal! Would love to come back :)
I have enjoyed yr video
You don't have food there what are those they're my socks give me one pair aweh my Zambian people😂🤣 anyway I enjoyed this vlog
Haha! Lovely people.
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels yeah and you should also come to Lusaka it's wild out here
High Viz guy lol 😂 explanation made me wonder how I don't pay
You're such a good spirit 🙂
Thanks Bibi. Otherwise these days would not be fun 😄🏍🔥
Very disappointed you didn't come to Zimbabwe
Yeah, me too. When I was ready to cross, Zimbabwe was still closed because of Covid. They kept the border closed for so long. Very disappointing 😞
You really enjoy the company of yourself lady!!
So cool.
World would be a better place with such people like you. I am surprised why this Sesheke road hasn't been repaired till today. I took almost 3 hours to get to livingstone due to potholes and its been years ago. Zambian government must do something
Yeah, I felt bad for the locals who have to deal with this every day.
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels it's unfortunate but a normal thing for African governments to ignore citizens basic needs. They collect the money for roads yet they don't maintain them. Those 50 kwacha paid for the council they still fail to make sure the road is maintained... just that. Shocking and this has been more than 5 years
I’ve made a mistake of riding this horrible stretch with a road bike back in May 2019 and the lies/deceitful conduct around tax/permits put me off going back to Zambia. Never again!!!
Ai, It's a lovely country.
Beautiful. Welcome to Zambia!
Reason we need to decentralise services. It doesn't make sense to say we have a one stop border post yet you get a chap stopping you some distance from the border asking for more payments. The Council is collecting that money because non of the payments you make at the border goes to it's coffers.
You're so friendly touring lady, that road is the worse road
It really is bad - but the people make up for it!
It is imbarrassing for that lady to beg for food & even touching the bike for things from a foreigner.
It actually happens all the time. I dont' really think about it any more.
Wow.. interesting
Emmanuel took care of you the whole night 🤒😳.. How??
Just empower me so that I get to do more videos like you.
Careful, Angolan one will fill water mixed with fuel
Don’t ever buy fuel off the side of the road, not only expensive but is often diluted with kerosene and or other products. Lost engines before especially diesel engines don’t like this fuel
Thanks for the tip 😊🏍🔥
Council charges crop levies raise to revenue from crops grown in their areas
Zambia is great country sorry about that police guys 💕
Not a problem. In the end end we became friends :)
very motivational video
Thank you ☺
Ba council naimwe do ur job nipa check point apo
I miss riding 😪 😢
Did u hav a nice trip?
Just wonderful thank you!
That man from council ii just doing his job, the council charges fees.
He was very nice too. But not sure they are supposed to charge motorcycles 😊
2.5lt k100 r u srs?
I didn't even negotiate. Guess I just wanted to support him :D
That road is the worst road in Zambia
I totally agree! Poor locals who have to deal with this all the time!
those are not police officers, council people they are hungry they wanted money and they just wasted your time for nothing
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.
Great video
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
You handled the council guys well. Great video
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 TH-cam. 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?
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.
That guy in a yellow bib is thief, Zambia council won't do those motor vehicle checkups he was doing.
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
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.
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. 😊🏍🔥
Where a u ,dear? A u not visiting Nakonde?near the border with Tanzania?
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.
The guy calling himself a "police" at a Police checkpoint is a joke!! He is the reason why Africa has not integrated well. He was doing a job he can't even explain. Think about all the government officials behaving like the guy "police" and tell me if the road will be any different?!! The villageers going over your bike in such of food was just disturbing and gross. Behave Zambia!!!
I understand what you are saying. But I was treated very well by Zambians. Always friendly, inviting me in for their parties, always smiling. Around Livingstone it was a big negative sometimes, but it's normal for very touristy areas.
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.
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.
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! 🥰🏍🔥
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
I'm a zambian and I do recognise the fact that some bad roads do exist. Anyways enjoy!
Sesheke Livingstone Road you need pain killers for head and a massage session after going through this road using a car not sure about bike
@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 has 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. ❤
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.
I wonder when this road will be fixed!!! Terrible
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.
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
Everywhere too much worst roads in Zambia
Council tax on such bad roads, true corruption from the the vest gate guy
Zambia should change their system, I traveled in the same road to Livingstone, those officials are demanding unnecessary fees. Even at the border of Livingstone it was terrible to see them treating us like that(2014).
MY DEAR Zambians, this sort of thing will keep all intending visitors and tourists out!!
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.
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
Mmm ,that's good,someone iz happy
Watching from Houston Texas 🇺🇸 zambia is a good I lived there sorry for that
Thanks for watching! No need to be sorry! I enjoyed every second in Zambia. Such lovely people.
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels you're welcome I lived in zambia for some years it's beautiful & peaceful
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! ☺️
I'm Zambian still don't understand the k50 council charge. It's for what? The guy failed to explain what us it for. Just saying council..100 per 2.5 l..about 40 per lre? He really ripped you off 😆 🤣 😂
Love you Henriette. You have a beautiful spirit. Keep safe
Thanks a lot! 😊🏍🔥
You have such a good heart
Thank you!
All those stupid payments in Zambia and the road is pathetic... Corruption for Zambians... Its pathetic and distraction to tourists.
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.
The road reminds me of angola wch sh said sh covered 100 kl while in zambia its just 40 kls bt the insults zambian pipo post on this one as if its the only poor road in africa but in angola its even mo bag wen they even hav oil
One thing i always wonder. Why don't african governments invest on good roads surely the driver of the economy is water, good roads and electricity
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
😂😂😂 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!
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?'
Where do you buy your fuel?
he said:Vuma, Vuma is the name of the filling station, in this part of the world the brand name of a place or product is the proper noun of that thing hope this makes sense. For example someone may call toothpaste is colgate.
I am from Angola and riding a 2022 Vespar GTS 300 SuperSport which cops here are aware is quite an expensive scooter, you will experience first hand the corrupt mind of cops here, especially those on motorbikes who usually target bikers
Also as a south African, when traveling on the continent you're perceived as 'rich' and get extorted bribes especially if you're driving an upmarket vehicle
you are a wonderful person
The guy in a yellow vest is not suppose to waist your time his job is totally different from what he is doing
You sound superior and cocky. You want him to listen to you, but you just saying yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, meaning when are you stopping talking.
2.5 litres for k100 😂😂😂that's daylight robbery
I know! 🙈🙈🙈 Hopefully I made his day! 😄
@@ForTheLoveOfWheels trust me the way I know Zambians they'll be a feast in your honour next time u stop by his house😂
@@lmthagod328 Hahaha! I can't wait to visit him again then! :D
Council receipt for what? Carrying her bum on her motorbike . She is not a truck carrying transported goods . Unbelievable.
Not a good idea for a solo driver/traveller, especially a female to stop for chats! High risk of robery/ high jacking. Not safe at all!!
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
It's unfortunate this barrier attendees is struggling with English. Kindly make sure you you visit east Africa
English may not be their official language, I doubt everyone speaks English in your East African country.
Zambian president must be proud of this road
Hahah! Indeed!
Saw this video being played by my barber, when I got home I quickly search for it and here I am
Wow 11:06 , buying gasoline is different, no pumps. Awesome trip and thank you for sharing!
