Hey All
Max & Ania here. We’ve been on the forum in some way or another for a few years now.
We’re a traveling couple who did a big trip from Switzerland to Malaysia back in 2015 and are now headed from Cape Town towards Uganda on our modified (by SWT-Sports) BMW R80GS.
I come from Ireland, she comes from Poland, we met in Egypt and have been on the bike since China.
Just thought I'd share/keep you guys up to date and hopefully create some wanderlust!
I’ll reply to this thread on some interesting details regarding shipping, packing, pillion riding, border crossings etc. Feel free to ask any question about any details of the trip here or on any of the available channels.
This is my lovely wife and our home for the next few months.

I'll post here every few days/weeks whenever something fantastic happens.
Currently we are heading towards Botswana through South Africa with Lesotho and Swaziland behind us.
We've already made a couple videos and I'll sum them up for the lazy people:
Episode 1:
We're still at home, preparing for our trip. We have no idea what we are doing.
