Cape Town to Europe July 2019 by Motorcycle

Hi

I am planning my trip from Cape town to Europe in July 2019.

Desired route is east coast as far as Ethopia, skip sudan&Egypt. Boat/fly to Europe then finish off ending up in the UK.

The Boat fly aspect i am still looking into but i would prefer to spend more time in Africa than the dreaded last stretch due to the European part of the trip.

I had a riding partner but he alas fell victim to finances, bike written off, time.....LIFE

Anyone doing similar, wanting to consider joining or even have any advice.

I am a 43 year old recently engaged male(so i and partner want me to come back) drive a R1200GSA.

Mixture of camp, rough it and hostels.

I would seriously consider to go into Sudan. Very amazing country and people to discover. I went last October from Egypt to Kenia by bike and Sudan was my biggest surprise
