Hi
my partner and i are wanting to do cairo to cape town around september 2013.
we are wanting to hire the bikes (bmws) and want a guide for easy negotiation through the borders.
we want to cut costs where we can and dont have a problem sleeping under a tarp rather than hotels (obv cant do that in cities though)
All the tours ive found at the moment are extensive offering 4* hotels etc. but are charging $25,000 (£16,000) we'd prefer to keep it to £5000.
Has anybody done one of these tours or done it independently and if so, how was it and how much did it cost?
did you use your own bike or a rental?
any advice / reccomendations welcome.
cheers
