The Route

Jersey (Channel Islands) To Cape Town (South Africa) And Back

In red is the rough route I intended on driving back when the trip was first conceived. But due to the Darfur crisis in the west of Sudan this was not possible and therefore I decided to drive down the west coast to South Africa.

In yellow is the actual route I took. Covering as much as possible with the time/money available to me.

The trip was ultimately cut short because of the lack of money. As my Carnet was running out and I didn't have enough money to renew it. So I opted for a sprint finish and see if I could make it back to Europe. Unfortunately with delays/problems getting a Sudan visa I had to call it quits and ship out of Djibouti.

Actual Route Information

Below are links to records I kept on my actual route. I have made them available in the hope they might prove interesting/useful to other travellers.
