Africa: UK to Cape Town (East coast)
 

Hi,

I've got the bike sorted, and now in the process of applying for Visas/Carnet etc for a trip down the east coast of Africa. Guessing these things will take about 4-8wks to get sorted so leaving sometime late Aug/early Sept. Any joiners for all/part of the journey please take contact!

If anybody has recent experience of Egypt without a Carnet please let me know as the 8* cost for UK bikes is extortionate. Are there any other options? Libya is out.... Advice about which visas to get up front and those that can be sorted on the road would be much appreciated.

See you on the road!

PS: Anybody fancy a shake down trip in the mean time (Aug) to Iceland, Pyranees, or Morocco please let me know

Hello Jaybee

I have just seen your post about travelling from the UK (London?) to Cape Town.
I have been considering the same trip, and have been talking with an expedition company that are leaving on the 24th August. I am not going to go with them as I have a lot of concerns about them and on every forum there appears to be someone who has a bad experience. Anyhow.....
In short... I am thinking about heading off independently on an GS800 and would welcome the opportunity to have a chat about it and see if we would make good ride buddies for at least some or even all of the trip...

What do you think?

Cheers

Hi,

Sounds good! Sent you an email with my number. Let's chat.

Cheers

Anybody have any recent experience of Iraq-Saudi-Sudan?

Thanks
