any recommendations regarding route to take

[niklasnienke]

Hi there,
we drove from joburg (where i lived) to nairobi (where my brother is still living) on our motorbikes last year june, now we want to continue from nairobi to cairo.

any recommendations regarding route to take,
places to stay and
places to get gasoline?

is it currently save to drive through all parts of sudan and egypt?



by the way we did not have a carnet de passage last year, no problems experienced only at kenian border, but that was solved, it just took some waiting time and patience. Reading the other post, I think we will need to get one for egypt.

I'm in Cairo now, will fly to Kenya in about 1 1/2 weeks, but a bike and head south. ;-) When do you arrive? i'll be staying at Karen Camp.

Not all Sudan is safe. Avoid Western Sudan unless you opt for military escort. I also wouldn't go near the borders with South Sudan. The rest of Sudan is safe.
As for Egypt I don't know much about, but Sinai is a terror hot spot.

Hi,

We drove from Belgium to South Africa.

Have a look on our website for our stories and we also have a travellerspage on the website with some usefull information. Home (left corner you can change the language). Or follow us on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/waarisworteltje Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.

And as you say only Egypt is going to be a problem for the carnet.

Oh also don't drive through South Sudan and you should be fine
