The Map shows the situation for traveling a "legal way".
Yes you can drive through africa without a carnet, because the guys on the border mostly don't know what are the rules.
But: not all officials are educated that way. You can get into trouble - when you meet that guy who know what is legal.
Do you mean that guys who had to pay high bribes had done their paperwork in a good way? Or does he had a faked carnet, or something else to make out of him a "weak" target?
When you study the entrys about japan at hubb - you will see that you only can get a temporary import-paper when you arrive in a given way.
Did you really take the risk to get stranded because you dont have a carnet, who cost 220 USD?
