Avoid Egypt. Bureaucracy is terrible and the authorities and inhabitants will see you as a cash dispenser and try and take as much money from you as they can.

Hello jondoe,
we want to leave Belgium mid-december for a trans-africa trip from north to south via tunisia-algeria-niger-tchad and so on.
When do you leave? Which car are you going to use?
Greetz,
karel

Tunisia-Algeria-Niger is more interesting than the Atlantic route but/and includes less countries so is quicker.
Sam.
There's always Tunisia-Libya-Algeria - but a bit of a paperwork/finances headache.

Hi!
Karellevrau,
I dont know the date yet,aprox. mid NOV to mid Dec
I'll be on the bike(hopefully)
Most likely on BMW GS650,i'm all so fascinated by GS1150Adventure but i think it's just to big for me,but I'll give it a test ride and make a final desicion.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
