Also looking for Partners - Algeria to Cape Town
 

My son and I are looking at coming from London via Algeria, Niger down the West Coast of Africa starting about December 2010.
We will be travelling in 2 1995 Land Cruisers but will welcome all fellow travelers.
Especially to share Guide Fees in Algeria.
We are reasonably flexible about departure dates but think it wise to travel through the Sahara in the winter.
I can be reached at Sib.Andela@gmail.com
Happy dreaming and travelling

Europe to Cape Town
 

Hi!

Leaving from Amsterdam in 20 days' time! Enjoy the planning - that alone has been a journey on its own!

I'll post updates as I get the opportunity - most of my info came from the HUBB. Also Chris Scott's books and Lois' "Red Tape & White Knuckles".

Thanks to everyone who posted about their experiences, replied to my questions and shared info and good bits of advice!

Safe riding!

Hello Every body,

any one of you needs any information about Libya(route,costs, paperwork etc.) will be welcome to contact me

Currently planning a possible circumnavigation, i'll make the decision to carry on when i hit the cape - hopefully not literally ! Aiming to leave the uk about sept 2010 but can delay if needed or bring forward, but not by much due to business commitments !!

Intended route is through europe and onto syria/jordan, continuing of course via east route................but plans can change :thumbup1:

Have travel experience but none on the bike (f650gs twin), so if there's anyone out there who's an excellent mechanic, would be good

Anyone going to Ripley............if so meet you there


Lou

Same here ... I will leave Belgium the 25th of October and will be at Gibraltar at about the 1st of November. Then travel the west-side from Morocco to South Africa (And maybe back the East-side). I drive solo on a BMW G 650 X Challenge.

anyone headed NORTH...??? i'm leaving the cape late july...

take it easy..

Africa
 

We arrive in Cairo on the 27th July before heading down the east route. Will take 3 to 4 months. We are 2 couples riding 4 bikes 3 f650 twins and 1 f650 single.:thumbup1: If anyone else is in that region around that time, we'd be keen for a beer and maybe ride together for a while. If not everybody have safe trips and enjoy the planning as it is half the fun !

My husband and I will be doing the African East Coast via Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt... Leaving 6th September... Hahaha, I hear all of you saying... Yeah right...ROFL....
Well we live in hope... We're driving it with our 4x4 Landcruiser aptly named "Big Red". We're romantics, what can I say...

We'll pop in to say hello if we see you on the way... Do greet if you see us coming, coz honestly you can't miss us... We're gonna do a great deal of birdlife watching, so will be getting to all the unheard of places... Then doing our bit for charity as well... Much fun!!!

:D
Just wanna go already!!!
