I`m looking for any info on shipping bikes from South America (eastcoast) to South Africa (Durban or Capetown.

For shipping questions check out our Tripplan/Transport pages at http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tri...hipping.shtml. That should give you a good idea of costs to/from various locations.

Best bet for speed and safety will be South African Airways Cargo. A number of travellers have done the reverse route from S. Africa to S. America with them and reported good results. You can get contact details for various South American cities from their website: http://www.saa.co.za/800.html

Re the Russian ships, there's always a hope, but I suspect it's pretty unlikely - there aren't many, timing is tricky, and the ships I know of that head north at the end of the season do it as a full-on tour, and charge megabucks for it. Very unlikely to be cheap.
