Hi Pat, I completed London-Cape Town-London ten days ago on a 990... down the west, back the east.
The ebola problem is a year older and I missed out on the Kinshasa-Lubumbashi section by going straight south through DRC/Angola/Namibia but other than that I have a reasonable amount of up to date stuff on what's going on.
PM me if you have any Q's and GOOD LUCK
Charlie
PS I travelled with an Aussie from Addis to Khartoum on a KLR650... top bloke.
