Anybody has gone through Lybia recently???
 

Hi Jose, we are planning our trip to south africa in october this year.
We had the same question. Please check out www.amsterdamtoanywhere.nl
This couple travelled through Libya a few months ago.

The site is in dutch but you can use google translator ;-)

Thanks!! The issue is that I heard things have got worse recently, I will keep searching

Cheers


Jose

I heard the same thing today. It really is getting more and more difficult to get to South Africa by the eastern route.
I contacted Tidwa tours tonight asking them if they stopped issueing the visa's.

I got a reply today from Tidwa about a question concerning our carnets for Libya. I asked them about the visa's and hope to get an answer soon.

No problems with the visas for Libya :-)

Hi,

No problems. How did you get them?

Cheers,

Gee

I got an almost immediate reply from Ben. He assured me that there wasn't a problem with getting the visa's.

Please post when you actually got the visa and what the requirements are. I'm still in West-Africa, but it is my preferred route to return to Europe.

Cheers from Lomé,

Gee

We're starting our trip octobre 13th. so we won't need the visas right now.
When are you planning to go back to europe?

Hi Guys ,

I rode through Libya last year.. I found one of the most friendliest countries I have ever been to.. Don't believe the rubbish you see on the news. Go there and you will be presently surprised.

Email Masoud for info and visas, He'll sort you out. He even met me at the border and I spent the first night there in his home. He's a very nice and helpful guy.

I try to collect the travellers who did travel through Lybia recently:

4x4tripping: Howto reach the eastern route of africa

And generally how the people start their transafrica over the east, how they cross or avoid egypt.

I second that. I've been through Tunisia - Libya - Egypt in December on my way to Cape Town, and Libya was definitely one of the highlights.

If you haven't looked at the other threads yet, there may be some useful info for you:

Hi Surfy,

In the 4x4tripping link it's written that it's no possible to cross Egypt/Israel border with 4x4 vehicle (in both directions?): it's seems it's the 1st time I've read this information:(:(

So I need to have confirmation about that point because my plan is to comme back from Sudan to Europe with my 4x4 through Egypt then Israel the ferry to Greece.

Any experience from other travellers?

Thanks in advance.

RR.

And in the reverse direction (from Egypt to Tunisia with a 4x4 vehicle), have you some recent reports?
BTW I've heard that travelling through Lybia is not very secure nowadays even along the coastal road (though I believe that Lybian people are very friendly towars foreigner travellers: I've been there 2 times but before 2010).
