Motorbike paperwork for Southern/East Africa (no Carnet please)
I'm heading to Cape Town in a couple of weeks to start a 6 month motorbike trip through the following countries:
Namibia Botswana Zambia Malawi Mozambique Tanzania I've got an SA registered bike and I wondered if anyone could tell me if it's still possible to get a TIP (temporary import permit) at each border crossing. I did this in 2002 with a pick up, just wondered if the same still applies? Thanks All. |
What happeneed?
I am interested in doing the same route arround mid July planning to buy a bike a in SA for the trip. Did you start your trip and is it still possible to travel with a SA registered bike through all these countries?
Best Regards Fabian |
No Carnet needed
I'm currently travelling the mentioned route with my Africa Twin (Switzerland registration). Everything after Botswana I have been using the Carnet.
In your case, SA plates, you wont need a carnet since u can get a TIP at every border up to Tanzania and even Rwanda. I know this because I have been travelling with two Aussies who bought a VW GOLF Mark I in Cape Town and have travelled all the way up to Tanzania and Rwanda without a carnet. Just get a COMESA Insurance coverage for all countries you wanna cross in Lusaka or the earliest possible place and u will save lots of money and hassle at every border crossing. Good luck Claudio |
