UK to Cape town 2019 by motorcycle

Hi,
I am in the early stages of planing a overland trip to Cape town leaving from the uk next year. I am 24 and ride an old suzuki drz400 and the plan is to ride down the western side of Africa, I have done a few off-road trips in Europe but nothing as crazy as africa. So i am looking for people to join me either for the whole trip of for parts of it as i travel south, nothing is set in stone and i am all for suggestions and advice especially as for the best route to take.

Tom

Perhaps we'll pass on the way, I'm heading the exact opposite direction!

Yo guys!
thanks for the interest in the trip, long story short, no I haven't started the trip yet. i had some stuff happen last year which put the trip on hold for a while. but now I am back on it planning to leave next year once i have saved enough cash. hit me up if anyone is interested to linking up/joining the trip.

Tom

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
