Africa Overland 5th Motorbike Bicycle
Be vigilant when driving through Africa: camels are careless when crossing the road, and women carrying waterpots are little more watchful. So warn the writers of this fifth edition of Africa Overland. They also give altered selective information on each country’s political and security circumstance (Angola, Sierra Leone and Liberia are on the up; since this guide’s last edition, security in Western Sudan and Eastern Chad has turned sour); provide an expanded Route Outlines division including data on border crossings; and offer revised recommendations on vehicles including practical coverage on buying a vehicle, maintenance and driving. This is the uttermost roadies’ guide to traversing the wilderness of Africa. An crucial guide to negotiating the unchartered perils of Africa’s tremendous plains.’ Daily Express (UK)

From initial planning to health and safety and handling bureaucracy across the states By Midwest Book Review It used to be travelers to Africa would never think of making their journeys entirely overland – but today they can, and with Africa Overland’s updated fourth edition, travelers can plan their own trip or choose from one of the overland expeditions recommended herein. From initial planning to health and safety and handling bureaucracy across the states, Africa Overland covers everything from driving in different terrains to cultural differences and locating accommodation. Africa Overland reflects the author’s on experience, so is seasoned with more than just hearsay.

Africa by Road: The Bradt Travel Guide By A The authors of Africa by Road do a great job of presenting an overview to planning and undertaking an overland African trip. They assume the reader has a decent degree of common sense and independence and point the would-be traveller in all right directions without producing that ‘hand-holding’ feeling.
Anyone who needs to know where to start or what needs to be covered in planning an African Adventure shouldn’t be without this guide. All the important aspects are covered and combined nicely with notes of personal experience and amusing anecdotes that accentuate the ‘African feeling’.
Well worth the money.

An all-embracing practical guide! By A An all-embracing practical guide! A real inspiration to travellers wishing to see the world’s most exotic continent by road. Our trip was enhanced by Charlie’s creative suggestions and advice and my only regret is that we didn’t have time to see all places he suggested.
