Transit

Corridor detail
The Dar es Salaam corridor runs north-east up the Great North Road to the Indian Ocean. The Tazama pipeline parallels much of this route between Ndola and Dar — a reminder that this has been Zambia's historic import artery for decades. As on every lane we run, the Nakonde/Tunduma crossing is where in-house customs clearing earns its place: documentation prepared internally rather than handed off. Nakonde/Tunduma is one of the busiest crossings in the region, and queues there can run long — which is exactly why holding documentation and tracking together over the run matters more than raw distance.
Well suited to
