I know this thread is a few years old...but I was wondering what the OP ended up doing. I'm thinking of taking my bike from Cairo to Nairobi in 9 days and ship the bike back to Cairo by air freight. Now that the road between Egypt and Sudan is open I think it should be possible.
I know that the pace is not ideal. I would love to take more time off and do that trip at a much more enjoyable pace, however, I'm stuck with the time I have. Here's what I have planned 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)
What does everyone think?
