Frequently Asked Questions
From Maun (Botswana) to Pemba (Mozambique)
By: gkamin | 16-07-2008
Hi,
I'm interested in planning my trip from Maun to Pemba (northern Mozambique) mid-October this year.
I've been told that the easiest way is to get from Maun to Johannesburg (by flight) and then take another flight from Johannesburg to Pemba.
How much should this cost? Does anyone have information on Johannesburg-Pemba-Johannesburg flight prices?
I'm pretty sure that there's a much cheaper (although longer) way.
Has anyone tried traveling by land through Zambia (I'd rather not go through Zimbabwe) to northern Mozambique?
How long should it take counting only on public transportation (bus/train)?
Is it possible to do this route in about 4 days?
Is it possible to plan the stops in a way that will permit me to spend at least 2-3 nights in a bed and not on a bus?
Are most of the buses in the area air-conditioned?
Someone told me that there's no problem in getting from Maun to Lusaka, and from there to the border with Mozambique, but that I'll meet most of my problems getting from the Mozambique border to Pemba. Somehow, that doesn't make much sense to me, but I'd really love to learn from someone else's experience.
Thanks

By: nantes1509 | 15-07-2008
I have been a student at The U.K., living there for the past 9 years. I have a student U.K. visa but am considered a Russia Citizen. Last March I decided to apply for a Schengen Visa in order to visit Finland, Italy and France. I was informed that the Schengen Visa has to be applied for in the Embassy of the country which I would be visiting first. The first country I was planning to visit, was Finland. I applied and was granted a Schengen Visa at the Finnish Embassy. The Schengen Visa I have been granted at the Finnish Embassy is a multi-trip visa, which is valid until October for 30 days of stay maximum. At the point when I was applying for the Visa, I was not aware of the length of my stay at either of the above mentioned countries. And although my family planned a week-long stay at Finland, we only ended up making a visit to Finland for a one-day trip. I have since decided not to visit Italy. I am now planning to visit my friend in Nantes, France. I was wondering if I need to submit any further documents/ Invitations on my arrival at France and whether my Schengen Visa would still be acceptable.
