Also in same boat
Hi
We also have SA and Brtish passport. Will be travelling Russia/stans/africa.
I think the approach we will take is to only use our British passport for 2 main reasons.
1. Entering and exit of countries with different passport and car (with carnet). It might just be something else a corrupt or difficult custom/immigration person can use to make life difficult at border crossing.
2. I have more confidence in the British goverment looking (ie helping) after citizens when faced with potential problems for eg with whats happening in Kenya at the moment. If you are in a spot of trouble or civil war or whatever the case, I think their response time to a situaion will be a lot better. You can also register on the FCO website and 'log' where you will be and for what kind of timeframe. So if you registered on the site that you will be in Kenya for a month when all the protests started, at least there is a record somewhere where the goverment can try and track/help you if neccesary.
I hope my understanding of it is correct.
