Germany-South Africa, East Route
 

Hi all,
Sept.11 we depart by MB-G 300CDI 4x4 to Italy-Ferry to Alexandria, through Egypt-Sudan-Ethiopia-Kenya-Tanzania-Zambia-Botswana-South Africa and think a small, about 3 vehicle convoy would be a good idea.
There is a really good opportunity even for 2 people without a vehicle to take advantage of another group on their way now going the same route northbound who would make one of their vehicles (Toyota L/cruiser) available to us to return it to RSA. The hire charge is not the typical high cost associated with commercial operators!!!!
We are two men on the good and bad side of retirement age.:smile3:,
equipped and experienced to camp having lived for 40 years in RSA.

Regards Wilfried

Hi Wilfred,

There's a current thread that may have relevant info about the ferry ride you mention. Thought I would pass it along.

Hi Tom,
thanks for the info albeit disappointing, however I will check out alternatives. I guess Visemar no longer had sufficient business to Alex with the trouble in Egypt. Perhaps they reinstate the service by Sept.
