Hi all, with my friends, we are planning a trip from Tanzania to Namibia. The period is august 2008.
At the moment, the most likely idea is approximately like this:
*TANZANIA
Dar Es Salaam
Mikumi National Park
Mbeya
*MALAWI
Niyka National Park and/or Vwaza Game Reserve
Nkhata bay
Lilongwe
Liwonde NP (we'll see lots of parks, it's a little far from our road, would you go anyway?)
*ZAMBIA
Chipata
South Luangwa NP
Lusaka
Siavonga
Livingstone
Victoria Falls
*BOTSWANA
Chobe NP
Nxai Pan NP
Maun-Okavango Delta
Ghanzi
*NAMIBIA
Gobabis
Windhoek/Walvis Bay
Now we are collecting the more information as possible. We are especially interested in:
- interesting places and good accomodations (camping or budget lodges/hotel)
- suggested fuel distance
- road conditions
- what about to be in the parks with the motorbikes??? Where to leave them safe?
- unadvisable/unsafe places
- any suggestions you think useful
Finally: how many km do you think we can plan to ride every day (except for parks safaris) on that roads, driving all day long but very relaxed? (with the needed pauses to take pictures, enjoy the landscape, talk with people, someone to smoke cigarettes, everyone to piss in relax

)
Thank you!
Mirco
PS: we ride KTM Adv990 and 950S, Adv 640, GS1200, Africa Twin and, maybe, the new GS800.
