Across the Africa 2018-2019 Cape to Cairo

From Cape Town to Cairo, crossing 8 countries: South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. We travelled for 12k km in almost 45 days. There were 4 persons: 2 with Transalp, 1 with Toyota and me with my Defender 90. After having overcoming many difficulties in Moyale and Egyptian border, we arrived at the finish line! Enjoy!

This is so interesting. I heard one could drive up the East coast of Africa. Not as easy on the West. Thank you!

thanks for this video

I'm planning a trip too, will a 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser do the job perfectly?

[@robertvoss9111]

Probably depends on whether it's a diesel or gasoline, seeing as modern diesels often struggle with the amount of sulfer and water that is often found in lower quality diesel like in Ethiopia or Kenya. Other than that a land cruiser is definetly the most capable world overland vehicle.

[@fortunetshabalala3388]

This is beautiful. I’ve been planning to go on this road trip for a while. How much roughly would it cost me on diesel per vehicle? How many kilometres is It? And also how many days does it take to reach Cairo from Cape Town?

[@nicoloamadori6154]

The most expensive diesel you will find is the one in Zambia and Tanzania around 1 euro for liter. In Sudan costs 0.08 cent and Egypt around 0.20. The ride takes 34-35 days for 12k km.

Ciao Niccolò, vorrei fare lo stesso percorso da Cairo a Cape town da solo. Ho un po' di timore per le frontiere, soprattutto in Etiopia dove sento esserci atti di terrorismo etc. , hai avuto problemi? E in generale dove é sicuro campeggiare ?

[@nicoloamadori6154]

Ciao, viaggi con un mezzo oppure bici/piedi? Perché con l Egitto noi italiani abbiamo un problema col carnet dei mezzi che non è valido per l Egitto e bisogna fare quello egiziano. Per quanto riguarda la frontiera tra Kenya e Etiopia noi siamo rimasti bloccati a Moyale 3-4 giorni perché era chiusa per scontri tra tribu locali in Etiopia. Capita spesso, però nel caso chiedi mano a mano che ti avvicini al confine per sapere com'è la situazione ma è fattibile. Poi le altre frontiere tutte senza troppi problemi si passano. Per dormire abbiamo sempre dormito in "hotel" a pochi euro in cui potevamo lasciare i mezzi dentro.

[@closhlab]

@@nicoloamadori6154 grazie..si ..sto preparando un mezzo camperizzato. Quindi speravo di dormire in libera spesso..non so' quanto è sicuro. Comunque mi hai dato un po' di fiducia..ero un po' scoraggiato dalle raccomandazioni viste sui vari siti che sconsigliano il viaggio per rischi attentati e rapimenti di turisti.
