Esteban - Sounds like DR Congo was very unpleasant. Did you investigate flying from Brazzaville to Luanda with your bike? What was the price?
We are in Togo headed for Cameroon and are considering turning south toward Angola from there.
From your website it sounds like its worth giving Kinshasa and DRC a miss. Any advice would be appreciated.

hi there! looking back at it kinshasa was not that bad. back then i had no idea about nortern angola and going forth and back with the feeling of being caught in a funny situation was heavy on the mind.

but you can do DRC in just a couple of days and enter northern angola at noqui, near matadi. should be fairly easy. another tip: try to avoid going throug central africa during the rainy season...

just for the info: the flight brazza - luanda should cost about USD 750 per person plus motorbike.
