African Ferry
While on holiday we took a short boat ride down the Kafue river to where in joins the mighty Zambezi River. On our way we had to slow down for a pontoon that was ferrying a semi to the other side. Cost is 40,000 ZMK for one vehicle.
The last time we took a ferry was crossing over from Botswana into Zambia. It felt safe enough at the time. But as we passed this particular pontoon with a fully loaded semi aboard, the ferry looked like it was leaning. Capsizing at this spot wouldn’t be cool. Our navigator was telling us stories about the many crocks and hippos that patrol these waters.
