Africa N to S
We are planning to do Africa N to S (Capetown). 3 bikes (BMWGS80, SUPER TENERE', KAWA650) and 1(maybe 2) 4x4 LR Discovery (We think of towing a small trailer for luggage and as a bike carrier, in case).we have 6-7 weeks for the route. starting 1 july 2001.
We are asking:
1)Considering the time we have, which route is better. the western -starting Maroc. or the eastern starting Kenya (we can't enter Alg. nor we can Sudan... we'r from Israel)?
2)Is the season right?
3)Is it a good idea to tow? do we need any special "carnet" or other permit to enter with a towed trailer?
4) Do parks let you enter with bikes on the trailer?
5)We intend to camp most of the time, are there any special problems in certain african countries?
6)How much money to carry? is it wise to carry cash?
7)The LRs are Diesel, is there a poblem fueling them?
thanks
