So I was browsing the old internet and found a great trip to do. You fly to Cairo and then take 112 days to drive south all the way down Africa 'till Cape Town!
From the internet brochure;
Adventurers take note. Cairo to Cape Town - Ultimate Self Drive 4x4 Africa Adventure is for you. Taking in all the popular highlights from Cairo to Cape Town including The Lost City of Petra, Jordan; the great Pyramids of Egypt and Sudan; monasteries on Lake Tana and Lalibela in Ethiopia; great deserts of Sudan, Kenya and Namibia; and of course, all the most famous game parks in Africa. 16 weeks cruising the diverse African lands overland; meeting new people and making friends for life.
Africa Expedition Support is offering this adventure as an inclusive package (4x4 vehicle max. 2 per vehicle, required paperwork; road tolls; fuel, most activities incl. park entrance fees, camping and accommodation fees; meals while camping etc) limiting the amount of cash you need to bring with you – making it a safer option. This expedition is fully supported by a lead vehicle with two experienced crew (mechanic and tour leader/cook) who are passionate about Africa.
