Africa and Asia are two very different experiences.
Asia has staggering physical and cultural diversity, is the home of most of the world's oldest civilisations and religions, amazing food, history etc etc.
While I have limited experience in Africa, it certainly can't tick as many boxes, but is logistically simpler.
You alternative route through Asia however is not feasible, as previously mentioned. There is also the question of the Iran - Pakistan border crossing which is rather unsafe on the Pakistani side.
Have a look at my website for some Asian experiences!
