Europe to Africa
 

Hi Guys

We are looking to get our BMW R80GS from anywhere in Europe to Uganda, Tanzania or South Africa. We have a Carnet.
If anyone knows any shipping/airfreight agencies that can can help, your input would be much appreciated.

On the other hand we will use this thread to keep you updated on how we get on regarding shipping.

These guys https://ivssuk.com/ came back to me within 1 day with a decent quote.

thank you very much!

Hey Max
as advised I would recommend airfreight, this might be a bit more expensive but less headache with lost and damages. Normally much more easy to get the bike out of customs at the Airport i.e. port


let me know if you Need anything else


cheers

Hi Olaf

I'm waiting on your reply :)

I'm also thinking about shipping my bike to southern Africa for 10 weeks over the summer. Ideally, South Africa, but I'd be happy to go in and out of Namibia or Botswana or Zimbabwe if the paperwork was easier.
I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences.

From where are you shipping?

most easy is Namibia or South Africa. We offer shipping to and from both places. Let me know if we can assist in this matter.


Cheers,
Olaf

From Madrid. I've got a quote, but includes shipping to Heathrow first, which I'm not too keen on.

I hope you don't mind if I chip in
