Going it alone thru Africa / Which Toyota?
Hi
I'm thinking of going thru Africa for 18 months or so (pretty much everywhere) and wondered how good an idea it is to go alone. I'm not talking about going alone off-piste in the Sahara, but rather driving alone thru places like Nigeria and the Congos. Have many people had there car pinched here? I'm quite an experienced traveller, but have never taken a vehicle on my travels.
Also, since I am alone would it be feasible to use a hi-ace rather than a landcruiser? Are they just as capable off road?
Finally, whats the comparison between to big 4L landcruiser and the shorter wheel-based 2.4? I need something that will tackle Central African excuses for roads.
Cheers
Dan
