I am taking the same route as from middle of March 2014 together with an Argentinian friend. Riding on motorbikes.
But you are going to be way ahead of us if you are leaving mid Jan...
I might be bugging you with some visa and other practical questions on the way ;-)
Safe travels!
Bart

I'm totally in the planning stages here, but I'm totally wanting to do a very similar trip. This time frame may be a little early for me, but you never know.
I'm going to see if I can get some things and my bike sorted out and you never know. I'd love to have company on this trip!
What is everyone riding? I'm planning on doing it with my little WR250r : )
ciao

Hi JC, out of interest what are you riding and what are you doing with your bikes when you get to SA? Just deciding on doing either India or part of Africa, I finish work mid-Jan and have to be back in UK late June, not sure if 5 months would be long enough for a full loop...
Cheers, Nick

Hi Odermate I am riding a Aprilia ETV Caponord and Adritay is on a XT660R.
I am staying in South Africa and adritay is shipping his bike back to UK.
I think you could do a full loop in 6 months if you a good rider with good bike.
Isaac Feliu Pérez (Africa call) left Spain and did 71 countries, 41500km's all the way around Africa back to Spain in 77 days 
We are leaving on 27th of Jan in no rush.

Hi Karl, I looks like there will be 2 of us leaving from Spain. We are leaving on the 27th of Jan and wont be in a rush either. I'm sure we will meet up along the way though so we must definitely stay in touch.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
