Life in the Kwanda base

Hi John!

Hi Armand

Thank you very much for the welcome.

John

Life in Kwanda Base is relatively good. I would not recommend going out at night to Soyo, unless you have a car and driver. There are Super Markets or shops in Soyo but most goods on sale are of very basic quality. Hopefully, if you live on Kwanda Base, meals will be provided at the Kwanda Base canteen. On Kwanda Base, you have two tennis courts, a squash court, basket ball court, soccer court and a racket ball facilty. There's nothing else as far as recreation is concern. You do have the hotel and a bar on base.

Robin thanks for the reply, could you possibly answer the following questions.

what is the food like on the Base?
is there a gym on site?
what sort of price is a beer in the bars?

Thanks

John

John,Breakfast is good, dinner is alright, lunch not the best but you wouldn't go hungry. If you buy beer on base, there's a ticket system. A book of tickets cost US$120.00, each book has   100 tickets. Imported beer cost $1.25. The local beer(not bad)is cheaper. There is no gym on KB. Food and beverages are available at the hotel on KB but a little bit more expensive. Wine, mostly Portuguese, is about $10 a bottle.  Hard liquor is also available to be purchased.

Robin thanks for the info,not expensive at all and yes i will always find something to eat.
