Day 247 from Kapiri Mposhito to Mpika

📅 5TH March 2026 📍Mpika, Zambia

Through Rain and Rough Roads – Onward to Mpika

During the night, heavy rain had fallen, leaving the roads muddy and challenging the next morning. On the way to Mpika, numerous roadside vendors accompanied our journey, offering colorful mushrooms, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

After a short charging stop, we continued our drive toward Tanzania. However, the road conditions became increasingly difficult: deep potholes and broken-down trucks shaped this stage of the journey and required careful, concentrated driving.

By evening, we finally reached Mpika, where we were able to charge again. The team from ZESCO supported us quickly and efficiently, allowing the charging process to be completed smoothly after a demanding day on the road.

Next stop: Mbeya, Tansania
