Question about overloading
Hey guys so basically I am in the middle of planning a overland trip from London to South Africa. I have the option of taking the west route starting from Morocco or taking the east route starting from Egypt. Honestly I want to take the West route but the majority of people who have done the overland via the West route have done so by a motorcycle or jeep. The thing is I don't really have the means to buy a vehicle right now, and plan on using public transport. Would using public transport all the way from Morocco to CapeTown be a possibility if I do the west route or will it just be hellish? If I were to use a local contact to drive me thru some countries which one should they be? and then I could use public transport in the easier countries. Would it be way too risky and dangerous if I don't have my own vehicle to do the West route? I know on the East route which would start from Egypt, it would be easy, and doing it all by public transport would not be hard. I've been to East Africa before and so I am familiar with how things work too. It is also safe, and more tourist friendly. Anyways I would appreciate advice from people who have extensively travelled across Africa. Thanks
