Same here - hoping to go Septemberish next year - but who knows if it will be possible or not - one minute you can't get through Libya BUT can get a ferry to Eygpt -the next you can't, and the next you can get back through Libyia again.
A pity you can't get through Syria would really like to have done an overland Kappe to Cape without using a boat too much! But who knows maybe that will change next year, and all will be peace and light in the Middle East and North Africa, and the new road to Sudan will be open for foriegners at a reasonable cost!
Being flexible is the thing is I have learnt is the key for getting through this region - but difficult if you have limited funds and a motorcycle/car. The West African route doesn't appeal somehow -but maybe the only option in the future. Sometimes I wonder is Africa really worth the hassle?
