First ideas

This blog is about our plans for a mega-Safari starting in Casablanca in middle June 2011, and driving down to South Africa along the West coast of Africa.

At present we are three couples, three vehicles, and we are submerged in preparations, purchases of equipment, and paperwork. Can you imagine, the guys who have bank loans on their vehicles may take them anywhere in Africa, but not in to Europe! The first piece of crazy burocracy, but probably not the last!!!

Route: At present there are many variables, but in broad terms we may visit the following countries: Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Gabon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, and home.
