Africa content

2 Aussies are packing up their lives, jacking up Toy the trusty Landcruiser, and driving through Africa in search of fun, flora, fauna, and (mis)fortune. From Cape Town to somewhere, via Southern and Eastern Africa.
Follow all the action here; through desert, forest, savannah, mountains, beaches, and cold beers over big vistas. Remote camp spots. The Kalahari, Okavango, Namib, Katavi, Serengeti, Ngorongoro. People. The Big Five. Mountain Gorillas. Wildlife generally. Bush cooking. Scuba in Mozambique and the Red Sea. Hiking. Kilimanjaro. Mt Elgon. Fixing things. Winching. The unexpected.

Spannender Reisebericht mit zahlreichen Fotos einer Motorradreise von Deutschland nach Südafrika.

In Assam, to our surprise, we had taken on celebrity status. Everywhere we stopped we would draw crowds of hundreds, all wanting to take a look at the strange foreigners on even stranger looking bikes.....

On 26 February 2010 I will be heading from Australia to South Africa for the beginning of a Trans-Africa motorcycle trip. The plan is to start from South Africa and head up the east coast of Africa eventually ending up in Egypt. I expect that the trip will take about 4 months, span over 16000km’s and will cross through at least ten African countries (South Africa / Mozambique / Zimbabwe / Malawi / Tanzania / Kenya / Uganda / Ethiopia / Sudan / Egypt). The majority of my trip will be solo, but two of my university mates (Andrew "Bonky" King and Richard "Cobbles" Kolbe) will be joining me for the first part of the trip.
Together with AMEC Minproc, I will also be taking this opportunity to raise funds for charity. The charity that I have selected is a charity called "Riders for Health" which is organization that provides health-workers with motorbikes and medicines to ensure that millions of people in the remote areas of Africa receive regular, reliable health care, often for the first time in their lives. The result – 10.8 million people are now accessing vital health care in Africa. AMEC Minproc have very kindly offered to match any donations that I manage to raise. So please dig deep for this great cause!

Thanks and regards,

In 2010, Gareth "Bok" Davey will be attempting a Trans-Africa trip on his trusty motorbike, a KTM990 Adventure. The idea is to head from South Africa through East Africa and on to Egypt. The route will be made up has Bok goes along but the aim is to try and see as many interesting people and places as possible. Bok will set off from Johannesburg in early March 2010.

An Irish couple ride through North West Africa and the fun and problems start on day 1

I found this interesting site on the internet and the director of Sahara-Art-Venture is helping out with visa, information and a short trip by 4x4 in the Hoggar, Assekrem in Algeria. Interesting information on Tuareg life in the desert and Algeria. Sara & Meike

The tale of my adventure from England to Mhamid on the edge of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. A real boys adventure and doable for the average person. Fear, elation, humour, exhaustion, wonder and all kinds of other emotions along the way.
