To Gabs

Hi, I assume the GABS is Gaborone?
You didn't mention what aircraft you'll be taking (Jet A1 or Avgas can be an important factor?). Also what range are you looking at between stops?

I haven't been to Khartoum recently (2007) but it wasn't worse than most other African airports (lots of patience needed as ever!).

Depending on your range a more direct route could be Khartoum - Kigali (excellent just a few months ago) - Ndola (haven't been for a few years but fairly quiet and no hassle). Those are all 6-700 Nm legs.

Otherwise, although a bit off track, Djibouti is painless or Lokichogio (Sudan/Kenya border), Kilimanjaro (watch out for big hills!) or if you're passing drop into Maun for a cold beer!

Hope this helps - cheers!
