leaving the car in west africa...?
Hey everyone - great thread, very interesting and informative - and recent!
Travelling West Africa... UK to Cape Town in November...We were going to get carnet... as advised by a tour company, websites etc... but I dont think we will bother now -not really because of the cost of the carnet, but the hassle of underwriting it - bank / insurer. Theres enough to organise already, so if we dont need one - great ! Plus we dont actually want to comply with the carent :confused1: - we will be 2 riders to CapeTown, and 1 driver will be leaving us from Accra and we want to leave the 4x4 there as it is not worth shipping anywhere. If Accra is not the best option due to being stricter with paperwork etc, we coulf leave it in Ivory Coast... maybe Benin..Originally wanted to ship the bikes (which we will buy in the UK) back to Australia, but we cannot import them. So unless we can sell them in CapeTown with prior arrangement (????) anyone? , we will have to ship them back to the UK ($$$) to be bought back off us there... unless any other ideas,,,,
