greetings everyone,
I am planning 3-4 month trip up east coast of africa from about May 2017 onward with an idea of ending up some place in Norther Europe
I am in need of tent that would be :
a) lightweight since i am going on the bike (bike's already heavy, R1200GSA)
b) packs neatly - space is of premium on the bike
c) durable
d) likely 3 seasons since i don't expect to encounter heavy snow or heavy sub-zero temps
e) readable cost wise ( MSR Elixir 2/3 sort of price range - around 200GBP - 250SD ... perhaps a little more
f) I am not married to the idea of free-standing tent , but keeping in mind that Africa will get hot i don't know if there are goo alternatives (in terms of ventilation and coolness for anything other than free standing/inner-only tents)
g) needs to accommodate me (190cm , around 97kg, riding gear and panniers/top box etc when needed) do perhaps a big 2 man tent of 3 man tent really?
If i can buy one of the good tents in South Africa it would be great help, otherwise i might be able to ask someone to bring one from UK let's say.
I've looked at Vango range, they seen to have wayyyy to many options (like too many choices at restaurant

) , although i like their designs and they seem to be durable for long term use. Unless i am wrong.
Thank you in advance for all your help and suggestions
