Africa travel advice
Hi everyone
I am glad to have found the site and look forward to having a chat. This looks like the place I need to be at.
I am not new to touring in Europe last year I travelled 4,500 miles in 2 weeks for charity with 6 others in a group.
I now want to expand things and realise my abmition towards getting to Cape town and back. I hope to go down one coast and back up the other as far as the road net work allows.
If I am able to I would rather use my old battle scarred ZZR1100 but realise this would need reasonably good roads, Romania and Bulgaria were not a problem we had a couple of muddy tracks which we managed to survive due mainly to diversions.
I am looking to those who know Africa and who may be able to tell me if this is a reality or if I would need to buy something else maybe an African twin 750cc.
I have been dreaming about doing this for many years and want to plan it as the first thing I do when I retire which is not too far away. I don't have a time limit for the trip I would expect it to take me about 10 weeks from Highlands and back again.
Thanks in anticipation. I am not very hot on computers so hope this thread works and is in the right section.
Cheers H
