Hi All,

Firstly apologies for this being a thread about overland travel in a car and not on a bike!! I do hope this is okay - if not just let me know, no hard feelings. It just appears that this site is the place to be for overland travel.

Basically I'm planning a trip from the UK to Kenya hopefully leaving mid feb 2014, but can be pushed back a bit later. I plan to drive through Europe to Turkey, take the ferry to Alex, Egypt then drive through N Sudan and Ethiopia before arriving in Kenya. I expect to do this over no more than 8 weeks, so reasonably quick. I have work commitments in Nairobi, so can't take too long.

I have been planning this for some time including preparing my Defender 110 for the trip. I now have a problem my travel companion can no longer come along. So, it's pretty short notice, but if anybody is interested in joining me please get in touch - there is a spare seat!

I am accommodating and the route can certainly be altered if you want to see places en-route. The car is well prepared (by myself) with an emphasis on reliability. I have camping and cooking kit, so you wouldn't need to worry about that. I'm quite young at 24 and ideally would be looking for somebody of similar age, though I'm not all that fussed as long as we get on

Thanks a lot,
Jack

Hey Jack!

I might be interested in meeting in Ethiopia/Kenya. EMail me at nikmck@hotmail.com. I'll be in Ethiopia March 19th.

Hi Jack

I sent you an e-mail. Not sure if it goes through. However I am doing the same route with a 4x4 car almost the same time you are planning to. My intention is to start 25th of february 2014. Please drop a line here or send a PM if you are interested to plan parts of the route together.

Cheers
Lukas
