I went from CT to Uganda. I went up west coast of SA into Namibia along the Caprivi to Vic Falls into Zambia to Lake Tanganyika . How much time do you have and what kind of riding do you enjoy? I kept on as much dirt roads as possible and it was absolutely amazing. You can check out my blog for details if you wish and feel free to write me if yo have any further questions. roysbikesafari.blogspot.com

Very interested in this!
Also planning from Cape Town up along east coast, a bit further tho, all the way up to Europe, in 2020.
Two bikers on two bikes, probably Triumphs, I'm leaning towards Scrambler myself.
Would be interested in company some of the way so keep us updated on your plans! Are you shipping your bike? Or air freight?

Keeping an eye on this post. I might be travelling up to Tanzania with my SA based Land Rover during the second half of 2020 and have extensive experience of roads through SA and Namibia up to the Zambia border.

Hi lisacecilia,
I am also planning from CT to Europe and also on Triumph Tiger 800. The interesting question is: how to get from Egypt to Europe? Via Israel? Or from Alexandria by boat to Turkey, Greece or Italy? I have found no solution whatsoever. Please let me know what you have in mind.

I'm driving my LC 78 from CT back to Spain starting July 2019 without a Carnet and looking to travel via Israel and then shipped back to Europe, using Port Sudan, Sudan - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - Jordan - Israel.
Have a look at this very good blog Travel Africa Overland https://travelafricaoverland.com/ferry-sudan-to-saudi/.
Would also appreciate any suggestions...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
