Capetown 2 Europe ... Dec02+
My R1100GS arrives in Capetown Dec 18th for the continuation of a 3yr RTW.
Will be riding up through RSA, Namibia, Bots, Zim (fuel?), Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Ethiopia, ... and then doing some head scratching to figure route to Europe.
Interested in meeting people along the way. Especially after Kenya. Most traffic seems to go south, who else is out there going north?

This is not an answer on your question, but:
I have crossed Africa from north to south and back north again. When you travel North you meet a lot of people going south and that makes it easy to get information
Good luck!

Hi, we are in Khartoum right now heading south through Ethiopia and Kenya etc in the next few days, Sudan seems prety straight forward to get a visa for in either direction, we have met Dutch,German and English travellers who have come here from Ethiopia with no problems, visas issued in Addis in a couple of days, ours issued in Cairo in one day. Putting a bike on the ferry going north from Wadi Halfa to Aswan should present no trouble either or you may be lucky and get a Saudi transit visa and go from Port Sudan but you would miss a great desert trip in the north of Sudan, people here are fantastic, paper work is a doddle as well, just go to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and they will sort it all out free of charge. Let us know how you get on for the South, especially Zambia and Zimbabwe as we are "planning " on going that way. Regards Chris and Gill, BMW R80G/S

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.
