Timing for Trans Africa trip?
Hi all
I am planning a London-Cape Town trip, but due to work commitments, I will only be able to set off in January 2007.
Now, I've read that the ideal time to set off from the UK is around October to avoid the rainy season in Central Africa.
Can somebody please advise me as to how difficult situations will be if I set off in January in terms of impossible road conditions, river crossings, heat etc. Basically, I just want to know if it is possible, or not!
My proposed route is Egypt-Sudan-Ethiopia-Kenya-Tanzania-Zambia and all the way south. I will be on a Honda Transalp 600.
Any scraps of advice will be most welcome(if somebody can throw in some advice on the Greece-Egypt crossing, it will be most helpfull!).
Thanks
Namsa.
