Buying a bike in south africa
I'm planning a trip around the southern part of South Africa.
Since I think shipping a bike to SA is too much of a hassle and costs a lot, I'm thinking of buying a bike in South Africa.
Is it possible for me to buy/own a bike? (I'm from the Netherlands BTW)
Can I get it insured (Southern Africa)?
Can I get a carnet so I can head to Tanzania and back?
Do I need a South African residence address to get all the paperwork done?
Is there anything else I have to take into account?
And why is bureaucracy there to ruin it the travelling across borders for all us travellers?
