"Master, I spend four months of the year in East Africa, especially Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, so I am quite familiar with the road network here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lao Li said while gesturing to the waiter, and after the waiter came, Lao Li motioned to the waiter to take a map of Lake Victoria.

Kampala is located on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, so there is a complete atlas of the area around Lake Victoria.

The waiter quickly brought up a large map, Lao Li spread the map on the table, pointed to an area on the east side of Lake Victoria, and said: "Master, if I am not mistaken, you and the county lord originally planned to pass through Rwanda and Burundi, right? After all, the road networks in those two countries are still relatively developed. ”

The Grandmaster nodded, and that was indeed the plan. Although Rwanda and Burundi are also very poor, because these two countries are mountainous countries, the domestic road networks in these two countries are relatively developed, at least compared with Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and other East African countries, Rwanda and Burundi road conditions are better.

The veteran drivers of the previous Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally have mostly chosen to pass through Rwanda and Burundi when taking the northern route.

"Master, I suggest you don't go over there, at least not this year. It is true that roads in Burundi and Rwanda are much better than on this side, but this year it will not be the case. Specifically, it was because of a magnitude 6 earthquake that struck early last month, causing landslides to disrupt traffic on several major roads in Burundi and Uganda. Although traffic has now resumed, some roads in the two countries are still not very easy to navigate. In contrast, I would suggest that you are better off going this route. ”

Lao Li's hand began to slide down the west bank of Lake Victoria from Kampala, "Starting from Kampala, follow the west shore of the lake all the way south, directly into Tanzania, arrive at Bukoba, and then continue along the shore of the lake to the south, and finally reach Niakazina, and when you get there, the road behind is the sky is high for the birds to fly." ”

The Grandmaster looked at the route drawn by Lao Li, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He knows this route, and if you really count it, this route is the closest route, but this route is not very easy to run, which has been proven by old drivers before.

The road is located in the folded belt of the Great Rift Valley, and the road is narrow and, crucially, often congested. Because this road is the only road leading to Bukoba, an important town in northern Tanzania, there are more vehicles on this road, and there are congestions from time to time.

Therefore, few veteran drivers will choose to take this route. They would rather take a detour through Rwanda and Burundi than be stuck in traffic for a day or two.

It doesn't matter if the road is narrow or difficult, but if it's congested, that's the biggest taboo for racers.

As if seeing the doubts on the grandmaster's face, Lao Li said with a smile: "Master, listen to me, tomorrow you and His Royal Highness the County Lord will take this road, and I guarantee that you and His Royal Highness the County Lord can complete this section of the road comfortably." ”

Mrs. Li, who was beside Lao Li, gently pushed Lao Li, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that this old guy was still selling Guan Zi at this time.

Lao Li begged for mercy and said: "OK, OK, I said it can't be done?Master, Your Royal Highness the County Lord, in fact, this road has just been repaired, and the road from Kampala to Bukoba to Ushilongbo was only a two-way two-lane road, but now it has been widened by two lanes and has become a standard two-way four-lane road. It was just opened to traffic last Thursday, and my wife and I happened to drive from Tanzania on the day of the opening. The road has just been widened and opened to traffic, so it's normal for you not to know about it. ”

Hearing Lao Li say this, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying were relieved.

It turns out that this road has just been widened and renovated.

Not to mention, this time I met Lao Li and his wife, and it was really worth it to be able to get such a piece of information.

If you take this road, it will be at least 400 kilometers less than if you go through Blonge and Rwanda.

If these 400 kilometers are in the prairie or desert, it is only more than two hours by car, but in such a mountainous country, it is still along the road, at least half a day.

Not to mention anything else, this half-day drive at least saved the time to play in Lake Victoria today.

Early the next morning, the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying set off according to the route that Lao Li said yesterday.

Not to mention, when the car passed Bucoba, the road surface became much wider, and the road surface was very smooth, and it looked like a newly renovated road.

Because the previous two-way two-lane has changed to the current two-way four-lane, the highway does not appear congested at all, and the cars coming and going on the highway can basically drive more than 80. The 500-kilometer journey from Kampala to Nyakazina took the Grandmaster more than six hours to arrive.

If you want to make a detour through Rwanda and Burundi, the journey of more than 1,000 kilometers from Kampala to Niakazina will take at least 12 hours.

After Nyakazina, you will enter Tanzania's famous Moyowasi River Wildlife Nature Reserve and Kigosi River Wildlife Nature Reserve.

The two wildlife reserves are linked together to form a very large protected area, with the Kigosi River and the Moyovosi River enveloping this huge protected area one north and one south.

This large area is very flat, but unfortunately there are many rivers inside, and it is obvious that a sports car is not very suitable here, so the two drove south along the eastern edge of the reserve. Fortunately, although the weather has been very cloudy today, it has not rained much, so the two of them finally arrived in Mbeya, 1,400 kilometers from Kampala, in the evening.

Mbeya is an important town in southwestern Tanzania, located between Lake Ruqua and Lake Malawi, at an altitude of more than 1,700 meters.

Mbeya is an important gateway over the Kipenguere Ridge in the Great Rift Valley, and is a city that riders on the northern route must pass through before entering Mozambique. The Real Madrid team also has a fixed supply point in the city.

From Mbeya to Angoche, the straight-line distance is only about 1,000 kilometers, but because it takes a road to cross the Great Rift Valley, the journey of more than 1,000 kilometers tomorrow is just enough for Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying to run for a day.
