However, based on travellers experience, we usually suggest flying the bike vs. sea shipping. The cost of shipping by sea may appear lower initially, but port charges can add considerably to the costs. Plus, shipping out of Africa or any undeveloped country means a considerable risk of theft.
If he decides to fly the bike out, there are some air cargo agents who specialize in Africa. DAS Air Cargo is a US company which serves "over 40 African and Middle Eastern cities".
