UK to Uganda
Hi all,
I'm planning a trip from the UK to Uganda sometime next year and am looking for some vehicle advice.
I live in Uganda so would be using the vehicle as my day to day transport once here. Full-on mud and guts is a rareity so I'm considering either a Pajero or a Landcruiser (either 70 or 90, the latter only if my budget miraculously gets bigger!). The ideal vehicle would be diesel, manual, with aircon and in pretty much standard spec.
I believe it's tarmac all the way apart from a stretch in northern Kenya so I think either would be fine. Does anyone think otherwise?!
I know Landcruisers have a better reputation but should a well looked after Pajero be ok, reliability-wise?
How much time should we allow for the Egypt to Uganda leg? We don't want to race it but have a limited amount of time.
Last question - any idea how much the ferry from Jordan-Egypt and then the ferry across Lake Aswan cost?
Thanks all!
