Trans Africa the newbie way: east or west?
Hi There,
After done the Silk Route to Nepal on motorcycle I am motivated for an African adventure.
Done Europe to Senagal in order to sell cars I am now planning Europe to Cape Town solo by motorcycle. Departure scheduled at the end of august from the Netherlands.
I've heard about muddy conditions the West African route, and the hassles from bureaucraty in Egypt and Sudan the East route.
The challange of reaching Cape Town will be difficult enough. What will be the route less demanding in terms of bad roads?
I guess it will be the Egypt - Sudan - Ethiopian - Kenia route. is this correct?
Of course overlanding Africa will include some very bad roads, wich I expect my Africa Twin will cope with.
I'm wondering about your comments on the best route to fullfill the trip.
With kind regards,
Guido
The Netherlands
