Fozzy The Bear: Dec 11, 1999; Nothing much, watching the game, drinking a bud

I was going to post an Ask/Tell, but maybe this thread can help me.

I am looking to ship a container of wine/farm equipment/electronics/clothes/(other stuff?) to Zambia, a land-locked central African country. I live near a major California port, buying a shipping container, and filling it isn't the problem. The transportation part is.

Then once it reaches a port in (probably?) Mozambique, how to get it over land to my contacts in Zambia. I would eventually like to start doing this as a business, I have many potential customers lined up. Just need to learn everything that is involved.

Any information you have would help.

Anyone have any companies they could recomend as far as a 3PL? Every website I google looks like it is from the '90s.
