Hi Traveller,
Not necessarily the most scenic or "best" route to SA seems to me still down the West Coast, which I did in the fall of 2000. East Coast is easy except Sudan. As a Brit will you get a visa? If you do, by all means go down the East Coast: Egypt, great desert crossing, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Victoria Falls. J.burg, Cape Agulhas. In 2000/01 I went down the West Coast and up the East Coast, starting and finishing in London, in a little over 4 months. You can read all about it in my book, "Africa Against the Clock on a motorcycle." See "Books" section under "B" for Bausenhart.
Why not use other people's experiences rather than re-inventing the wheel.
