    Hi guys! Just stumbled upon your video. If you are still in Zambia, I am happy to put you up in Lusaka for free for up to a month until you get your visa. It's got very good power back up and internet so you'll have no problems there. Let
    me know. Welcome to Zambia!

    Hi, Lusaka person here who has been near to where you come from. I was in Vellore India (at CMC) and i think one of those small towns we pass through as we drive from Chennai is Kanantarka. GUESS what? Southern Indian food the masai dorsa, the slice juice etc was surprising to me cos i was expecting more of biryani and pulai rice.
    And everybody around me drank hot tea or coffee in the hottest of times there!

    Sorry mates to hear about your predicament with the visa issue of trying to enter Botswana, Mozambique, Angola & South Africa. If your issue was related to a Zambian visa, I could have had some good suggestions for you. Unfortunately, I can’t help for the other other countries. I just hope that something good will work out for you to visit the other countries. As for Victoria falls, feel free to go there & see it with little water & then see it again in future during its peak water season

    Sorry, you have to go through this. Travelling in Africa is always logistically challenging, even for Africans. The Indian government should negotiate bilaterally with countries to make life easier for its citizens. In the short term, I think you can reach out to the relevant countries' embassies back in India to see if they could help with e-visas or other means to help you proceed with your plans.

      The majority of those who pray do not pray in the truth because they worship dead ancestral spirits whom they claim are alive and declare that they are objects of their worship.
      Most religions worship the dead in shrines & are linked to them through altars or worship mortals!
