Overlanding Africa - Do I need a 4x4?
Ok so I've been putting off my Africa Overland trip for a few years but this is the year. In December I plan on heading taking the ferry in Spain and then heading down through Morocco, Mauritania etc all the way down to South Africa and then perhaps back up the Eastern side in 2018.
I'll be buying a VW Transporter van to do it in so that I'm able to sleep inside. Now my big question is whether it needs to be the Syncro 4x4 version. There's a significant price difference between the two and non-4x4 versions are much easier to find.
The main thing I want to do with it is to be able to experience wildlife from my own car.
Would this be possible with just a 2x4?
Edit: I know this is mostly a bike forum but I figured I'd ask since I couldn't find any other site with as much useful info.
