Advice please for shipping/freighting out of Kenya
 

We need to get out of Kenya to Egypt, Jordan or even India with our 1100GS. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to deal with Nairobi shipping/ freighting agencies. Can anyone give me a phone number or e.mail address of someone reliable in either Nairobi or Mombassa please.

Try Jordan airways directly, bypass the agents. We've had good reports on them.

I'm not sure there is a good agent in Nairobi, but I'll ask around.

Flying into Cairo is a major exercise in frustration. Figure 5 days to get the bike out.

I am having the same difficulties.

No point in going further north as my carnet does not include Egypt, Djibouti-Yemen doesn't look like a good idea this week, and the Saudi's are not looking too positive on giving me a transit visa.

Early estimates for air freight on my R1100GS to Amman are really high, and there is a very real prospect of disruptions and cancellations in the current environment. Sea Freight is also difficult with most shipments going up to Antwerp before they come down the other side.

I will give a full update when I get things sorted out. In the meantime, if any one has any pointers ...
