Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania during rainy season on a motorcycle. Terrible?
 

Hi, Im trying to put together my itinerary for a moto trip from Cape Town to Uganda, the ideal time for me would put me in Zimbabwe/Zambia in February more or less.

How problematic would I find the rains to be at that time? Ill be on motorcycle, hopefully doing a fair amount of camping.

This was in Tanzania at the beginning of the rainy season....Attachment 23750

I've done overland via car in Tanzanian rainy season. It is quite difficult! There are many more paved roads in TZ now, but Malawi, Zambia, and Zim will certainly have fewer. The roads get slick and slippery very quickly. It will be possible to move, but don't expect to go fast, and a second vehicle to help get you unstuck is always nice.

This chap is doing it right now so ties in perfectly with your dates.
Enjoy his informative ride report

Just seen the date of your original post - you’ll probably bump into him ������������

Thank you so much for this link. It has confirmed that I want to go back to Africa and travel by motorbike. What a cracking story.

These ride reports have inspired my wife and I to head to Africa next year, if not sooner.https://ukgser.com/forums/showthread...=Gael+warnings
