Africa Woman Solo - Safety/Buying/Accommodation/GPS
Hi guys,
I plan to travel from South Africa to Kenya, starting April or May 2016.
My last journey with motorbike was 5 years ago, and that time i was with partner. This is gonna be my first solo motorbike trip and i'm very nervous now.. I'd very appreciated if you give me any tips
* Safety
Little worried about safety in Africa. I've read story about some brave woman who already traveled with her bike alone. it make me feel better but still have concerned. Any advice would be very helpful and appreciated!
i read this thread and it was very helpful to me : http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...t-africa-83875
* Buying
I'd like to buy small second hand motorbike(Max. 250cc) in Cape Town. Could you recommend the good store/dealer in Cape Town?
* Accommodation
Is there a enough accommodations from SA to Kenya? or do i have to bring my tent? I searched a lot about Africa accommodation, but i couldn't find right answer. I like to do camp but i prefer to sleep in cheap hotel(hostel) due to my safety..
*GPS
Do i need to have GPS way up to South/East Africa? or google offline map is enough? Is it very difficult to find a road without GPS? (I don't have good sense of direction)
Sorry for many questions..
Any advice and comment would be very very helpful.
Thank you very much in advance!
Gwi.
