Travel Guide Calai

Overlooking the Kubango, Calai is a real urban centre, built on each side of the unusually large main street parallel to the river.It is also the only road axis linking Cuangar to Dirico. On a Sunday or a holiday, cross Calai to slow down at the warmest hours, when the dazzled sun, hold a western scene… We hear the music and it wouldn't be surprised to see a cowboy headed on his horse trampling on the almost white sand of the track. A small group of inactive young men would look away, sitting in the shadow of one of the few trees in the sleeping downtown. In the distance, a woman passes on one side of the street as quickly as her loading permits, sheltered from the sun under a colorful umbrella.A brand new banking agency and its distributor, which operates 24 hours a day, face the municipal administration pink building, an architectural witness to a bygone colonial era.In 2014, few travellers venture beyond Calai. The track to Dirico is exceedingly sandy. We are already thinking here a little at the end of a world… Is wrong yet because the Namibian bank is close to the other side of the Kubango. The inhabitants easily cross by boat to go shopping. Daily regular rotations of small motor boats. Here you can also get through his car. Namibia provides for the diverse and diverse needs of this Angolan clientele, at a lower cost. A strange context of these lands, however remote from their capital.
