Hi All,
For a long time we have put aside our original plan to travel Cairo to Cape and exchanged it with South America. After a trip to Ethiopia some weeks ago, it seems that the "Africa-Virus" has deeply affected us and we are back on our way to our original plan! ... five months before leaving!
We found some info on the web, but there are still many open questions and, what's more, we need "up to date" info on some important bits and pieces. Maybe, some of you can help:
1) is there a possibility to ship our Land Rover (and us) from Italy, Greece or Turkey to Egypt?
2) visa: how and where do we get visa for Egypt and Sudan (at home or "on the road") and how long is the vaildity?
3) does anybody know about the situation in Egypt and Sudan? ... is it safe to transit to the Wadi Halfa ferry?
4) does the Wadi Halfa ferry still operate? who to contact best for tickets and arragning the Land Rover's shipment?
5) are there any other options to consider concerning the Eastern Route to Africa?
It would be so great to get some more information on those aspects ... All the best from the cold North of Germany,
