Hmm, seems all plans going from north to south are mostly on hold.....I've been planning quite a while and our tour would have started mid of octobre...
Reading all information, we have decided doing north of africa is adventure, but ebola, closed border of cameroun with nigeria, and local panic situation, this is to much to make this an adventure with fun...
Allthough our original route would never bring us in Ebola countries...but we had to cross Nigeria (comming from mali, burkino and benin) and get into cameroun....and this situation is not likely to change in the very near future.
So last week, we have decided to ship our bikes form europe to Cape town, and do a round trip taking us to namibia, botswana, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania en return via mozambique and south africa....
We were able to take this decision as we had no visas yet so our options were still open.....I regret I will miss the north but there is simply no "easy" way around giving the current situation.
keeping in mind it can still become worse as more countries close borders....I don't want to be stuck in Benin.
