Trans-Africa
Hi Guys
I am living in South Africa and am planning to do a trans Africa trip by motorbike this year. I can't really be away for longer than 6 weeks in total which seems to mean that it would have to be an Easy coast trip.
The question is whether to ride North (start in Cape Town and send the bike back from Egypt) or South (start in Cairo and ride down to Cape Town).
Unfortunately I keep hearing about custom delays in Egypt. Some people apparently have struggled for up to 3 weeks to get their bikes out of customs in Egypt after sending them there by plane or boat. It seems as if riding north and trying to ship the car back to South Africa can be equally problematic.
Is it possible to ride north but through Egypt into Israel or alternatively by ferry to Jordan and ship the bike back to South Africa from there?
Does anybody have any information about this, or any other option?
Thanks very much
Etienne
