Buying a car in Kenya to drive to Namibia
On our way from Switzerland to Namibia, we were arrested at the Libyan-Egyptian border for having illegal equipment in the car and then deported. I'm trying to find a way to transport the car out of Egypt, but it might not be possible/economical.
So another option I'm looking at is flying to Kenya, buying a car there and driving it to Namibia. Some questions about this that I hope someone can answer:
- How easy is it for a foreigner to buy/register a car in Kenya? Alternatively, would someone living there be willing to buy it for me and write a permit for me to drive it?
- How easy/fast is it to get a carnet in Kenya?
I am aware that the carnet requires a deposit, but I'm planning to buy a pretty cheap car. The plan would be to drive the car to Namibia or SA and import it or have it destroyed under customs supervision in order to get the deposit back.
Thanks in advance for any info!
