Huge apologies 2R1ST. .. I didn't see your post.
To answer yr questions, I avoided Egypt for reasons of a) time and b) tiredness with Egyptian style bureaucracy... ie I don't like paying dash and I fear I might have lost my self control with some of the low life officials in the land of the pyramids! After travelling south via Dakar, Freetown, Lagos, Brazzaville and Luanda... I thought I might skip a small section heading north!
Re. security in Kenya and Sudan... things were cool for me but that means little... I might have had a lucky run. My sense was that there are plenty of dodgier places round Africa than Nairobi and Khartoum but don't count on my views! !
Main thing... go do it!! Good luck
Charlie
