Me and husband are hoping to tour East Africa, later this year.  We have been considering riding our own bikes, but the ferry into Egypt no longer sails.  Could ship our bikes out, but expensive.  Carnets very expensive too. Thinking of flying out and buying when we arrive.  Anyone know if this is possible for non-residents?  We are thinking of Honda 250 CRF. Big bike riders might be surprised at our choice, but have ridden them in Vietnam and they are just what we need.  Also, when you drop it you have to pick it up again!!!
At home in sunny Scotland he rides Triumph Tiger 1050 and I have Suzuki 650 V-Strom.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions gratefully received.
