Also the piste from Ghadames to Ghat seems not totally safe. Crossing at Ben Guerdane involves a lot of waiting in a car. But not less corrupt than Wasin, I hear.
Very, very interesting!
When do you think making this trip to Chad (approx.)?
And how do you to to meet and take a Tubu as a guide?

I might organise a self drive trip to Libya and Chad together with a Dutch agency later this year or early next year. I arrange the guides through personal contacts. But I think the known agencies in Ndjamena can also pick you up in Sebha or Katrun (or Kufra - if that city is quit again). Or you just drive to Katrun and arrange it there, like before. I hear the Tubu are in charge in Katrun, so normally no problem leaving Libya and coming back again, at least with multiple entry visa.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
