Worth knowing about Lubumbashi
- Lubumbashi sits on the rail line that links Ilebo, Kindu, Tenke, Sakania and Ndola, and Trans-African Highway 9 runs through the city towards Lusaka and Kolwezi.
- Do not plan an onward leg around the train. Passenger services to Lubumbashi are slow, infrequent and often cancelled, and journey times stay long even on the newer stock.
