Africa, Summer 2019
Tentatively putting together a plan. Don't know if the plan will come to fruition, but if I don't start thinking about it, it won't.
I want to do Kenya or Tanzania, or both. I want to do Zambia. Anything else is a bonus. Victoria Falls and getting out to the Skeleton Coast in Namibia would be cool. I've heard Etosha is worth a visit too.
Thinking of shipping UK to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam, then ride down to Cape Town to ship home. Big picture looks like 150 miles a day for four weeks through August. Don't know if that mileage is reasonable in Africa. 175 miles a day with a rest-day per week. Several of the tour companies like GlobeBuster do this route. They take five weeks. I can't afford that time, nor their prices.
Plan B would be to return to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam, and ship back from port of entry. Seems a wasted opportunity though.
I'll be just the wrong side of 60 by then, riding an F800GS. Post-up if you have knowledge of this route that would help with planning, or if you're interested in joining me.
