UK to Cape Town Autumn 2011

Hi, I need some help planning my route.

I estimate leaving UK in October.

Is 9 weeks to complete this a pipe dream?

I'm not interested in big cities. I'm riding a KTM 990Adv.

I have travelled to Africa 5 times previously but never smashing borders on a bike.

I'm in my infancy of trip planning and looking for any route advice and tips.

thanks

Which side ??

Took me three weeks just to get out of Egypt with trying to get visas etc !!

Even if you had all visas in advance, that is going to be brutal and probably not much fun.

People do the east coast in 12 weeks and that's powering it...
