Switzerland to Capetown starting Nov 13
 

Hi there,

Im planning a 3 month biketrip from Bern to Capetown.
Im dutch and im riding a KTM 990 Adventure. I want to leave around November and arive in SA end of Jan.
I want to ride through the east side...tun,lybia,egypt,ethiopia and further.

Anyone interested in joining a part of the trip?
Its more fun sharing the experience with like minded people and safer.

Ciao. Jaap.

Hi there,
I would be interested, but only if you could delay your trip a bit. I mean i could be ready arround feb/march 2014. Btw I have got big ktm as well, but thinkin about smaller bike for this kind of trip. Anyway, let me know what you think about beginning of 2014.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,

Sorry..i cant delay it..have to be back in Jan for work.
Goodluck on your trip.

Ciao

hello jaap,

i´ll start in the middle october 2013 from germany down to capetown and i have time 4 months - not more... i´m not really sure for the way, i favorite the westsite, because i did the eastcoast in the winter 2009 / 2010 with my tenere.

Hi Jaap,

I might be interested in this trip. What sort of route are you thinking of taking, the countries you expect to be passing through?

Im getting the Carnet next month. When i know the price i'll post it.

The route will be.
Ferry from Genua to Tunis-Lybia-Egypt-Sudan-Ethiopia-Kenya and from there on im pretty flexible. Depends on who ill meet or what i feel like :-)

Could be Zambia Namibia SA or Tanzania Mozambiqua SA

oh...and im leaving the first week of Oct or end Sept.. want to do it in 3 months.
I know..not a lot of time...gotta be back end of jan for work.

hello jaap and to the other guys,

lybia is currently not the best choice, but which country in the north / middlepart ist it realy ...
jaap, do you speek german ? can i ride you a mail in german ? sounds like, your "parameter" the nearest to my "paramaters" :-)
i also strong fixed wih the startdate, maximum 14 days flexible ( end of sept / middle oct 2013 ) and max. 18 weeks ...

Hallo Thomas,

Ich spreche Deutch. Wohne seit 3 jahre in die nahe von Bern aber schreib selber lieber in english

I was trying to get around the "not so stable" countries but there is no ferry to alexandria for passengers, or i havent found it yet.
So Tunesia Lybia Egypt and down would be my idea
From other people i was following up on their blogs i heard they had no problems and a good time in Lybia...except for the lybian-egyptian border which is no fun..

On the other hand..its all part of the trip and experience and how you deal with it no?

Schreib mir in Deutch was deine idee ist

Hi,

I'm looking to leave UK/Europe around August (Or beg of Sept subject to getting the Visas sorted!) with a rough intention of being in Cape Town by Christmas. Looking to take an adventurised KTM690. If that fits in with any other plans, please do take contact! East or West, but likely east route.

Cheers

Hi Jaybee..

Im planning on arriving in Capetown around new years so maybe we'll be on the same route.
My preference is still riding the eastcoast but gonna decide this week and arranging visas in july.

Lets stay in touch.

Ciao
