I have a 1993 Suzuki Bandit 400 for sale. Runs well. Need to get rid of it ASAP. It was my friend's here that was being used for a tour, unfortunately he had to head back to the States early and I have had to put everything on hold until I get it sold off. I am currently located in Pongola. Bike...

You should check out the Horizons Unlimited Site. They have 2 whole forum sections dedicated to shipping bikes. There's info on like 650 shipments actually made and all the connections you could need from getting crates, who to ship with, and all the import fees and what not.

Thanks everybody for the awesome replies and advice. Really bummed we can't ride across the Serengheti, though. I'll look into that tour that michnus mentioned as well as get in touch with Sweetspot up on the border. How does the ping work? If anybody else has any suggestions or contacts, I'd...

Plan on leaving Lesotho in the next 2-3 weeks and then heading North. Going out through Qacha's Nek (Lesotho), go hang with some friends in Durban for a bit, then up through Swazi, Moz, Malawi before into Tanzania. Might take a bit for us to get to Dar as we are tentaitviely planning on hitting...

So I've been stalking around the siite for a bit now and thought it'd be time to introduce myself properly. I'm an American who has been living up in the mountains of Lesotho (about halfway between Letseng Diamond Mine and Sani Top for those of you who've been up) since late 2009. I'm currently...

So me and a couple of friends are about to take off a trip taking us from Lesotho, through RSA, Moz, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Bots, Namibia, down to CT, and back up into Lesotho. No real time frame on the actual duration of the trip, but I was wondering what can't miss things are along...

You have the GPS coordinates for this one? I'll have to stop in on my way up.
