Shipping companies from Eu to SA?
 

Hello fellow travelers.

Me and couple of friends are planning a TransAfrican trip from Cape Town to Tunisia via Zambia, Tanzania, Etiopia...

I did try to search the forum for the shipping companies but with no success.

Does anybody know a tried and tested company which could deliver 4 Defenders and two bikes to SA from anywhere in Europe?

Any help greatly welcomed

Thank you

Thank you chickcharnie for the fast reply.
Sounds as a good price to SA.
Do you know how long does it take for the company to make the crossing?
Also, I'm not sure what the BAF charges are.

We will be setting off from Prague, CZ and Uk is quite a distance from there.
Does anybody know any Germany, or Holland based company?

Thanks again
