Hi all

I'm aware that this is a very general question and the answer is very subjective, but maybe some of you can give me some inputs.

I am in the very early stages of planing my next road trip, which currently consits of nothing more then a big plan:
Start in Europe, go down to South Africa, ship / fly the motorcycle to South America and then go all the way north again. And maybe finde some work in between or even get stuck somewhere nice along the way

Anyway, this would leave me with only one way down in Africa so I have to decide east vs west. I would probably stay a bit longer in SA so I'm able to cover all neighbouring countries anyway.

So, the question is: What would you recommend? Go down the east- or westcoast?

I'm currently no further then "Egypt has the pyramids, Morocco has the Atlas-Mountains".
What I'm usually looking for on trips;
- "Fun" motorcycle roads (usually tarmac with lots and lots of twist and turns)
- Special landscapes to drive in
- Places with camping-spots
- Rather on the cheaper side

Both ways have countries which are not recommended to visit by my governent (Sudan or DRC), West seems to be the way most travelers go but also has more borders, which I assume means more $ for visas and the occaional fee to cross borders.

Which way would you go? And why?
