Has anybody here travelled overland across Africa?  I'm looking for somebody whose brains I can pick...

NeilWilson:

TimM:
There have also been a couple of trips there in LRO recently, I can dig them out for you if you like.

A contact of mine from Coventry was planing to do it in his Toyota 4Runner- he's in working in Zimbabwe now doing 4x4 tours. How far he got with the project I don't know (think the car got shipped there via boat in the end). Here's his website on Overland Africa. Might be worth dropping him an e-mail?

I was toying with the idea of doing a long trip next summer.  However, for marital reasons, the 6 month expedition I'd been hoping for doesn't look very likely.  I'm really interested to know how far south I'd get in 2 months or 3 months, but I have no idea how long it takes to travel as the place is so vast!  I thought if I can find somebody who's done it already, they will have a pretty good idea.
