Hi Corne

First I've ever heard of a ferry from Ghana to Cape Town. Where did you hear about this?

There are some sea-freight companies which are international, and if you were planning to ship the bike in Africa I would definitely go with a large reputable firm.

P&O Nedlloyd has offices in Ghana:

For some useful information on shipping yourself and the bike by sea (assuming you wish to travel together), see this thread:

Good luck, and let us know how you make out!

Hello - I shipped from Accra to Durban last July - spent a couple of days trawling round the agents at the Tema docks until we found a decent price - as far as I remember about $700 US for the container - I was lucky, shared it with a Landcruiser. Maybe your best bet is to try to find a 4X4 to split costs with.

The container took a week or so to travel down. I'll try to get the details of the agents we used in Durban and get back to you.
