Why this gateway?
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.
When to go
Flooding and rain affect tracks and low-lying access. Check current park advice, road condition, fuel, and recovery requirements before leaving the B8.
Getting there
Leave the B8 at Kongola and turn south on the public and park-access roads toward Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara.
Typical visit
A practical staging point for separate park days on the Kwando and Linyanti systems.
