Kent (UK) to Kenya with family in a 4x4 Route assistance required!
Hi All.
This is my first post. I have been reading through the forums and there really is some great information here. I apologise if some of my questions are asked quite often, but things change pretty quickly so any recent info would be greatly appreciated.
So I am hoping to relocate to Kenya, in 2013. Wife, Kids and the dogs! We would like to drive if possible. Ideally I would like to do the East coast route but the ferry (Egypt - Sudan) would be an obstacle, I wouldn't leave my hounds unattended with the car on the barge, so unless there is now a viable alternative I am left with the choice of Algeria-Niger-Chad-Sudan-ethiopia? or go completely West coast and cut across all the way down maybe Zambia which is a huhge increase in distance?
Any thoughts on those options or have I missed an alternative?
Also whilst here whats the consensus re. vehicle, I currently have Disco 3 nice and roomy, comfortable, great long distance cruiser and none too shabby off road, but I fear one glitch could leave us stranded, I am thinking 130 300tdi or even an old Range Rover 300tdi?
Am I mad for thinking about doing this with dogs and kids?
Thanks in advance for your help!
