CLIMATE - 
ELISABETHVILLE is situated in latitude 11°40’ 
South, longitude 27°29’ East and at 4166 feet 
altitude. Lying approximately in the centre of 
Southern Africa and in the South-East of the 
Congo, this town is connected by road with all 
parts of Africa : 2477 miles away from Cape 
Town, 4480 miles away from Cairo, 6515 miles 
away from Algiers, 2428 miles away from Mom¬ 
basa, 1330 miles away from Lobito. A railway line 
connects Elisabethville with Cape Town and Beira, 
with the harbour of Lobito in Angola and with 
the centre of the Belgian Congo, at Port Francqui. 
Several airlines provide direct flights to Brussels- 
Rome-Cairo-Leopoldville and Johannesburg. They 
ensure a connection with every part of the world. 
ELISABETHVILLE has a temperate climate (the 
average temperature for the year is 68°9 F). Its 
altitude corresponds to that of the health-resorts 
in Switzerland. The best season lasts from May 
till October. The town is very attractive and can 
compete in its modern design with the large 
European cities. There are good hotels, many well 
stocked shops, public parks, sport-grounds which 
make it a very pleasant resort indeed. To these 
advantages must be added the charm of a parti¬ 
cularly mild dry season. 
In its neighbourhood there are farms where cattle- 
breeding, rearing of fowls and vegetable, flower 
and fruit growing undertaken. 
Ten tours or so (from 20 to £>5 miles each) are 
recommended by the Royal Automobile Club in 
Katanga (see special leaflet published by that 
organization) and plenty of roads make it possible 
to have easy access to the most picturesque 
areas in Katanga (see the Traveler’s Guide to the 
Belgian Congo).
