Hi boys, I'm the Brit who said I was coming but I got side-tracked in WP and won't now make it. However, I've had about nine weeks in a loop on my own bike from Cape Town up to Zam and back so I'll write it up when I get home and post it here. You have a marvellous country with great people and...

Thanks corne 1. Changing plans and directions already. I'll be the four-eyed Brit on an orange 800GS with the oriental wife. We won't know anybody so please come and say hello.

Hi, I'm a Brit riding around in Southern Africa and I'd love to drop in and say hello. Is the bash open to non WDs? Can we just book in at Destiny and turn up? Thanks Graham

Hi Schalk, I'm a Brit riding around the bottom six countries in Southern Africa with my wife. Your RR is wonderful and inspiring. Positive, engaging, loads of photos. I'm only up to Sudan but I love it.

Thanks Almero, Do you or anyone else know the best way into Windhoek from Zambia? The choices for me, as I'm two up and weighty so I want good roads, seem to be Katima Mulilo, Mohembo, then south to the Maun-Windhoek road, OR Kasane, Nata, Maun, Windhoek. What are the pros and cons? My...

This should show Daniel in southern Zambia, en route to Nairobi.

Hi Almero, I loved your RR and I'm coming that way. So my questions are, Can we just turn up to camp sites and parks and camp? I heard we had to pre-book permits. What sort of average price is camping? Can we go through parks on a bike? Most of them were closed to us in SA. Lastly, I met...

Great picture.

Hi Gang, OK, we got through Beit Bridge. Everyone told us it would be horrific, bags of corruption, road blocks, burnt down buildings, riots and cops taking us for money at every turn. This is how it went. We slid out of SA like shit through a goose. The Zim border is a proper African border...

I'm going in tomorrow from Beikbridge to Bulawayo. I'll tell you how I get on. Fingers crossed.

Where is your sand course?

Yeah, we'll rent a car or guide to see serious game. If we do end up getting chased by predators, well, at least the wife's behind me.

IDR and Casting thanks, I'm not a great pre-planner so I'll get into SA, chat to people over a beer and take it from there but I'll definitely get Tracks as everyone mentions it. I do want to see the animals, certainly before they see me. I just heard about a goat herder lady who got eaten by...

Brilliant! That's great news. I can't wait. I'm getting my maps tomorrow.

OK, we'll definitely be coming in April/May and will buy a bike there. I'd like to start in Cape Town and very roughly loop up to Namibia, Vic Falls then SE and S back. I did read somewhere on here that bureaucracy is a bit of a problem in RSA. Would it be hard for me, as a foreigner, to...

Thanks ChrisL, That 3D RR was great! That might be my loop now.

Wow 3D, Cracking ride and report.

Thanks fellas, I will have loads of questions but here are a few 'big picture' ones to start off with. Maps and Zumo chips: Which maps would you recommend for South Africa and which chip for Zumo? For say two months around SA, would it be better value to buy second hand or rent, and if I...

Hello everyone, I came across the site after a very enthusiastic mate told me about you. Here's us: We're Brits in our 50's but still pretty nimble. The wife and I will come over for about 3 months in 2016, after a month or so in Morocco, to get used to falling off the bike in style. Wife...
