We sent our bike from Cape Town to Buenos Aires in October 2022.

We used EconoTrans in Cape Town, and used Dakar motors to clear the bike in BA.
lyndon@econotrans.co.za

dakarmotos@hotmail.com

Hope that's some help

My bike is presently in Cape Town and has been since the beginning of September. I'm getting quotes to fly it to South America as I was unable to secure a spot in a container with African Overlanders. The quote I'm getting from Econo Trans to Buenos Aries is $4240.00 USD for my 2009 Suzuki DR650!

Container to Cape

I just dropped off my moto in Cassblanca to be fully crated, stored, and shipped to Cape Town, where I will meet it in August, to continue my adventure in Africa. I looked at airfare, costs logitic's, plus the fact I had to be there in person, before and after. So I decided to fullycrate,and place it in a container. This works since I have arranged storage on both ends.. My Moroccan TVIP permit will expire while in transit, so I was instructed to leave it with agent, who will regesister with customs.
$2,350, I anticipate a few minor costs, plus I will probably get a carnet before it arrives in Cape Town. OR I can purchase a TVIP directly with South Africas,, I haven't decided yet which one is best since I don't know exactly where and when my moto and me end up in a few years?

Smiles
Jeff

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
