**driving africa** · #1 27 Feb 2006

Hi, we are two guys planning a trans africa trip. We would like to start out in marocco and cross over to east africa some place on the way..... As crossing from Chad to Sudan to Ethiophia/Kenya at present time seems impossible we are wondering if there are any other options??? Or may be it is possible to go through Sudan??
We are doing the trip by car but guess the same rules and routes are applicable as with a bike....

Please help!!!!!!!

I'm having (sort of) similar problems. I guess your problem is getting in - and out- of Sudan right?
We should stay in contact, maybe one of us comes with a solution and then we can inform the other..

Hi
We're busy doing the same route and, after 6 months, are in Tunisia, waiting to get through Libya. We took the route through Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Algeria. I believe that the route through Chad into Sudan is impossible, which is why we had to come all the way back to the Med to cross to Egypt and then head south to Cape Town. We're planning to get to CT by Christmas, so the next 6 months may be a bit rushed. Algeria is definitely worth seeing. You have to have a guide, but if you choose the right one, it'll enhance the trip.
Good luck
Bel

Hi,

Another possibility is: Niger, Nigeria, Cameron, Central Africa(no problems), SOUTH Sudan(Juba), Uganda....
Last year a biker got the Sudan visa in Bangui, and plowed his way across the South Sudan mud into Uganda...
