African eclipse

On June 21 next year, the path of a total solar eclipse crosses Zambia within 40km of the capital, Lusaka, before passing just north of Lake Kariba.

Truck Africa will run a special departure to coincide with the eclipse. The three-week trip will leave Harare on June 15, 2001, returning there on July 6. It costs $1935 plus a kitty of $750.
