This is the general route we are planning to take from East London (UK) to East London (SA). Leaving in December 2015, I am estimating that it will take us 9 months to complete the journey as travelling with autism may be slow and we will not know how slow until we are on the road. The main priority though is going to be to get Sofia to the other end with a smile on her face, so ultimately it will take as long as it takes.

Im planning the same end of this year or early next year. Wonder why you choose the Eastern route. Any reasons to share? Safe ride

Too much activity/politics in western route – risk too high. Hoping it doesn’t spread further east than Libya… you have a safe ride too 🙂 you never know – we may bump into each other 🙂

Etiopia, Sudão, Syria, are not safe territory. Syria very dangerous. Do not recomend it.

we have just travelled through Ethiopia with our motorbikes and are currently in Sudan (not South Sudan) – and both countries were and are perfectly safe to travel!

Brilliant. Ethiopia is completely safe! Although the crossing into northern Kenya is tricky by road.
