Cairo to Nairobi in 9 days?
 
Hi all! I'm planning my first motorcycle trip soon and would like to get some input on my rather ambitious plan. Unfortunately I can only get a week off work and I would like to get as far down the Cairo - Cape Town route as I can and to ship my bike back to Cairo. Here is my plan so far:

Day 1. Cairo - Aswan (850km)
Day 2. Aswan - Dongola (800km est.)
Day 3. Dongola - Khartoum (638km)
Day 4. Khartoum - Gondar (763km)
Day 5. REST
Day 6. Gondar - Addis Ababa (732km)
Day 7. Addis - Moyale (773km)
Day 8. Moyale - Isiolo (505km)
Day 9. Isiolo - Nairobi (275km)


I have heard that the roads in Ethiopia are pretty bad and it's making me think that maybe I will be covering a lot less distance in that country than I'm planning on. It's important to also note that I'm Egyptian and I live in Cairo so I won't need a visa for Sudan and my bike already has Arabic plates on it (apparently an issue with entering Sudan).

So...what does everyone think? Would love to get some feedback.
