It's all good overlanding content - anyway, it all depends on the OP!
Currently my roofrack is: 1.22 x 2.3m, I could exted it at least another metre over the bonnet, so 1.22 x 3.3m. How much?

Never mind a Carnet, you'd probably need a building licence for that one as well.

You aren't the first, Tony!!
It's an odd problem, though, isn't it? I wonder how ordinary Zambian vehicles ever get into Kenya? As I understand it, Zambia has no motoring body capable of issuing a carnet, and to get a Kenyan one you have to put up with 2 or 3 days of kerfuffle in Nairobi. I have a mental picture of a whole lot of Zambian vehicles in a car park at the border, abandoned for days whilst their owners sort out the paperwork.

The last Zambian I knew that went to Kenya got his carnet at AA in Malawi. aamalawi@gmail.com

Mike, if you do a carnet search on the SA 4x4community forum, you'll find the contact details for the AA in Malawi, posted, I think, by Linda from Mukambi. The woman there was evidently very efficient and quick in sorting their carnet for Tanzania.
