Kenya - Greece - Uk Via everywhere. in a LR SIII
Hey all,
I've been reading this forum for ages, the best place that really connects overlanders across the globe.
I live in Kenya and am planning a 3 month safari - round Europe!
I am in need of some good advice.
So far I have a few vehicles to choose from:
Landcruiser 40 series pickup (HJ45) This is my preferred car but not sure i can get spares.... Thoughts?
Landcrusier 70 series SWB
Land Rover Series 3 88''
Current plan is to use the LR just because 1. its iconic 2. its easy to get parts for 3. the pick up is huge and may cost $$$$$$ to ship.
Also just bought my eezi awn tent for our accommodation.
But heres the issue(s):
- shipping from kenya to greece is 2500 GBP from the quotes i got so far as there is no direct ship i can find, other possible ports like istanbul are the same
- RORO to UK only 750GBP
- Driving any of the above vehicles across europe... I guess i will need a carnate for every country?
- I wonder if it would just be cheaper to buy a car in the UK to take advantage of the EU. <--- no fun as I cant spend months making the perfect overlander.
Anyway lots of to come, we leave in 6 months so plenty of time to work it out.
Any experience opinions etc?
Ed
