Travel Time Cape Town to UK
 

Hi all.

I am in the throws off planning a trip for next year from Cape Town, to London. As usual, i have limited funds and even more limited time to fit this adventure into.

Can a trip of this nature be done in 90 days? Thats approx 300km per day, I don't have a clue how bad or good the roads are in central Afrika. The other option for me is to resign from my post, but i have a wife and 4 year old to support.

A bit little honest advice is required

3 months is a good time to do it in. Should be easy enough. Cape to Nairobi is good roads and can be done quickly if needs be.

Cheers
 

Thats a bit of a relief!! Thanks for the reply.

I think the East route is possible in this timeframe. West route may take longer due to visa issues. But if you were lucky and all visas came through quickly you could do the distance in that time.

cheers

hi pgouvias,

I am doing almost the same except I'll start from Malaysia. I estimated 3 months to reach UK and from there on another 3 months going through France, Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, ferry from Alicante to Oran (Alg) then going east thru Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and down South to Cape town passing thru Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa. In your case it should go backwards.

It's possible.

I know it's tight but I'll have to ride 7 days a week (err maybe 6 :biggrin:) and will try to apply for visas ahead whenever/wherever possible.

Let me know if you want my route (map) - I can email them to you.

cheers,
Norman
