Buy a bike in south Africa, sell in the north?
 

I'm in the early stages of planning an Africa trip. I've been looking at buying a UK bike and riding it down, but it seems a touch expensive for getting it to Africa. The bike itself would only be worth a couple of thousand. Then I'd end up with it stuck in south Africa when I finish.

So my question is this, could I buy a bike in south Africa (Cape Town etc) and ride it all the way to the north and sell it there? Same as can be done in south America? Thanks, Dan

NO chance to sell it in Egypt, so the other options are Morocco or Tunisia. I'll leave it to the North Africa experts to answer that, I have no idea, sorry.
Remember, if you enter a country on carnet, you must leave with it. IF NO carnet, then you might want to just walk away to avoid legal issues...

Ahhhh, the carnet. Something I didn't think about...

that's why you're here ;)
