Myanmar to Kenya, route suggestions.

[Anubis]

Looking for general route suggestions/ideas, still in very early planning. Will be travelling on a motorcycle.

Route A:
Myanmar -> Bangladesh -> India -> Ferry to Somalia -> Kenya

Route B:
Myanmar -> Bangladesh -> India -> Pakistan -> Iran - UAE / Oman -> Yemen -> Ferry to Eritrea/Djibouti/Somalia -> Ethiopia -> Kenya.

Catching a ferry or boat is being hopeful, maybe the most realistic solution is to carry on to Iraq then across to northern Africa and back down or Iran across to UAE then to Oman.

Appreciate your input.

Hi Anubis and welcome,
Neither of your suggested routes are practical as Iraq, Yemen and Somalia are war zones and there are no ferries across the Indian ocean. There are container ships going between Mumbai and Kenya or Djibouti for a bike and the rider can fly and it is theoretically possible to ride from Myanmar to Southern Europe then ship to Egypt and south from there but some visas are problematic that way.
It would be helpful to know where you are from as this can affect which countries you enter and the advice you are given.

Thanks for the reply Mark.

Travelling on a British passport. The trick is definitely getting around the war zones, and through Pakistan.

Might be more realistic to ship the bike over and then fly out afterwards. I have a few months and thought I'd try create something out of it.
