I have had my AT for just over a year now and have done a number of trips around our country with my wife as pillion.  The time has now come to venture beyond our borders early next year.  As they say most of the fun is in the planning and it does help pass the time away while you sitting on the edge of your chair counting down the days before you can finally leave.  My plans still in an infant stage so thought I would post them here so that others who have done the trip before can give me some pointers and advice.  I am thinking of the following

1. Taking the train for old times sake from Cape Town to Johannesburg
2. Riding up to Botswana
3. Through Botswana to Vic Falls
4. Vic Falls through Zambia
5. Zambia to Lake Malawi.

I am currently looking to see if I can ship the bike back from Malawi or Tanzania.  If this is possible we may then go to Zanzibar and fly home.  If not I am going to look at a route back through Mozambique. 

All comments welcome and more to follow....
