- Very bad potholes
- Drier flatter terrain and also mountain areas
- Friendly people who are willing to help
- Very few police stops
- Lots of goats and cattle crossing the roads
- Very little traffic in the rural areas
- Long queues at ATMs.
- Fuel incredibly cheap but difficult to find in the north
- Huge contrast between the rural areas with poverty and the wealthy more developed towns with good roads, signage, kerbing , pedestrian paths. One traffic light in Lubango (the first one seen in weeks).
