London to Nairobi
I want to drive a 4WD pick up truck to Nairobi for my father in law. He is a subsistance farmer in the Kenyan Central Highlands. My wife and I want the adventure of the journey and the truck will be inavaluable to him. My wife is Kenyan which complicates visas in Europe but this is not insurmountable. However, try as I may I can't seem to figure out a way of safely avoiding Sudan. Anyone got any ideas or recent experiences to share? Is Sudan REALLY a no go area??? My work has taken me to Saudi in the past and I know even getting a Saudi work visa is 3 mths for a male and impossible for a female - so I reckon this is not an option. (We are school inspectors and last visit had to take an all male team) Is there a ferry from Egypt to Ethiopia, or down the Red Sea and East African Coast??
