The initial planned route is The initial planned route is Cape Town to Nelspruit through to Maun to meet up with David and Miles (around the 28th September), who will have travelled up from Cape Town via Namibia. From there the planned route is Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Eithiopia, Sudan to Egypt.

This route is relatively well travelled although mainly by Landrovers (with the odd Toyota and other 4X4's). It is the same route I travelled but in reverse from Europe to Cape Town in 2003. Conditions will have changed, hopefully for the better I must confess to being aprehensive. Sand, rocks and heat on a motorbike can be very challenging, to say nothing of stray dags, goats, cows and people!!

As we progress I will update this section with more route specific details.
