Okay, this is travel times only, in a 4x4 (at a medium cruise speed).
Left the Malawi/Zambian border at Chipata at around 09:00, arrived at Bridge Camp (just passed Kacholola) over the Luangwa River at around 17:00 minus 2 hours for stops. Reasonable tar road in places but big potholes on the first 100km.
Left Bridge Camp around 09:00 arrived Lusaka 12:30 no stops. Reasonable tar road.
Left Lusaka at around 08:00 arrived Livingstone at 16:00 minus 1 hour for stops. Good tar road.
Left Livingstone at 08:00 crossed border into Zimbabwe cut across to Botswana border at Kasane through Botswana to Ngoma Bridge border with Namibia into Namibia and onto Kongola at the beggining of the Caprivi strip, arrived at around 17:00.
Started off across the Caprivi at 09:00 with the convoy, takes 2-3 hrs, good tar road, arrived at Divundu 12:00.
Left Divundu for Rundu at 09:00 arrived Rundu 13:00.
Left Rundu 09:00 via Gtrootfontein arrived Tsumeb at 15:00 (had the best municipal campsite on the whole trip, real nice).
Spent the next 5 days in the Etosha.
I carried on across to Swakopmund (about 6 hrs drive from Okaukuejo) and then across the desert to Windhoek (about 6 hrs drive) and then down to Keetmashoop (8 hrs) minus 1 hr stop.
Going at a good pace you could do all this in probably 8 days, 10 is more realistic, took me about 24 days with stops in Zambia and Namibia.
My route then went via Uppington (SA) around Lesotho onto Peitermaritzburg up through Swaziland into and through the Kruger over Beit Bridge (watch out for documentation touts here as they try to hide the signs that tell you not to use touts by standing in front of them, hehe, we did the documentation ourselves and it was easy) and on to Harare then via Tete in Mozambique then onto Blantyre in Malawi.
Hope that helps, if you need any more info post it here and I`ll try and help.
