Default Africa 2009

Anyone?

Thinking about it.

Probably on a DRZ400.

Not sure when. Or the approx cost.

Africa is great, spent 4 1/2 months on the back of a Bedford 4 1/2 tonner bouncing about. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, a brief encounter into Angola, South Africa, then back to Zim before flying out of Jo'burg.

Barter all the way.

How long are you planning on being away for?

And rough route?

I'm in the early stages - open to suggestions. Not sure if I'll go east coast or west....east means I get to go thru' Egypt...West'll mean the possibility of some good surfing.

It'll boil down to state of roads/war zones at the end of the day.

The Congo is always a challenge, politically or physically. Sounds like a good trip.
