Eric Nathan with 'Biggles' Wars often influence overlanders' routes across Africa. When fighting barred the way through Central African Republic, Zaire and Sudan, Marc Nathan's only choice was to cross the Angolan border. The route was no less hazardous.

Eric neatly extends the dates while I prepare our stamp kit to overlay the necessary multiple entry authorisation on our visas.
