Kongola is the Kwando River junction for Bwabwata's eastern side, Mudumu, and the southern wetland road toward Nkasa Rupara.
It is the point where the trans-Zambezi road and the park-access roads separate, making it a real gateway rather than an invented map stop.
Flooding and rain affect tracks and low-lying access. Check current park advice, road condition, fuel, and recovery requirements before leaving the B8.
Leave the B8 at Kongola and turn south on the public and park-access roads toward Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara.
