The first picture is en route to our sub-base in Kalima - we did actually get stuck here, but fortunately only for a few minutes. It's amazing what angles the landcruiser can go at! The second picture is when we were travelling from Uvira to Bukavu over the escarpement route. We came across a large yellow lorry that was stuck right in the middle of the road - no way round, no way to move it. We had to turn round, drive back 30 minutes, leave one of our staff (who doesn't have their passport at the moment) and take a route through Rwanda instead.

Sometimes we travel by plane...
