Route

Our planned route has us flying into Namibe, Angola and takes us up to Lubango through the Serra de Leba Pass. From there, we plan to ride down to Benguela to start the trek across Angola crossing into Zambia near Kalene. There we plan to climb Kalene Hill to visit the old mission ruins, and the graves of our Grandparents: Darrell and Helen Rea.

Below is a map of the proposed route:
