For visa info look here:
Visa and embassy information for all countries - Projectvisa.com
Everywhere is listed. I think specific visa info is aimed at US citizens, buts ti still gives general guidance for all.

2 months is possible although doesn't give you masses of time. We met other trans african travellers who had hauled out of Europe in a week from Holland, spent another week coming through Syria and Jordan although could probably be done faster and then had the rest of the time through Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. Nominally if you allowed about a week for each, that would give you two weeks contingency and you wouldn't have to do daft distances. At a push you could probably do Sudan, Ethiopa and Kenya in about 4 days each. Egypt might be longer because of the time delays getting through the border and also getting the boat to Sudan. Alternative is to go from Jordan on a transit visa through Saudi Arabia and then get a ferry across to Port Sudan. Potentially cheaper and faster but you normally need the ferry booked and Sudan visa lined up to be able to get the Saudi transit visa.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
