All Africa

[Surfer]

Has anyone ever done every single capital in one tour?

Sorry, what's the point?

The point is i just want to know. I am planning a trip like this soon. And i want to know what the hassles are gonna be. I have read many travelogues and none seem to have done this.

I think what Roman means is that big African cities are more likely to be regarded as the low points of overlanding trips - or just opportunities to take care of practicalities.

No idea if anyone has or hasn't done the trip you describe, but I doubt there's a trophy going for first place. The time for record-breaking attempts has probably gone.

You might need more motivation than a publicity strapline to want to visit some African capitals. At any one time there is usually at least a couple that are a bit 'tricky'. Mogadishu springs to mind, without thinking too hard!

Still, any excuse to go...

Seasons and politics...always changing.

It is completely for publicity. Believe me i want to be out of those cities asap. Just need to take a token emblem to certain people in each city. then off to see the rest of the major attractions and roads. I did east africa last year from London. so i know what to expect in major cities.. 1 stay out of Cairo...... but the rest were ok. Kampala is amazing. go back any day.

So its a business pleasure drive for 1 year. As for the record.. not into trophies and things.. to me the safety of the crew would be first.

Thanks for ur help
