National parks and ferocious beasts
Hi! I'm planning a trip through africa from Cape Town back to London leaving at the end of January 2003. I think I would be foolish to miss out on some of the amazing game reserves throughout africa but I understand that motorbikes aren't allowed inside them. I'm wondering whether its best to lock up the bike in a nearby city and join a tour group from there (sounds very expensive), or is it possible in most parks to turn up to the gates of the national park and join a tour for a day that will take you back to where you're parked. Also, I don't think all the parks are totally fenced off - can you be riding through one without really knowing it? I'm slightly worried about camping with lions etc roaming about! I'd love to hear how other bikers visited national parks and any advice on avoiding bumping into wild animals at the wrong time. Cheers,
Jasper
