May or sept thru North Africa

**Sjakkelian** · #1 1 Dec 2005

We are heading south in our 110 from the Netherlands thru NW Africa. Then possibly driving down west Africa to Southern Africa back up the east and from Kenya either head home or cross to Asia.
I have the choice to leave in either may or sept. I have my own reasons for choosing either but which is the most practical considering heat, rain season etc.
We are in no hurry and wil be taking our time.
Any advice with the pro's and con's is very welcome

September is about ideal unless you wich to spend a few months in Europe first.

get in and around the Sahara somewhere between oktober and december gives you the blueest skies.

I would agree with what is said above, October and December are good months to be in the desert - clear skies and not too much wind makes a big difference:
