The idea i kept in mind the last couple of years was to cross africa, from north to south by motorbike. My first option was to pass by algeria and mali, but due to the last events, i choose to pass by eastern africa rather than western africa. Starting from France, i planned to pass by eastern europe first, then Turkey and middle east countries before reaching egypt and africa. From there i would drive south, first through Sudan and Ethiopia. No precise plan for the last part of the trip (up to south africa) as many thing could change before i reach that second half of the journey. So my route was supposed to be something like that:
The bike is an Honda Africa twin i bought 3 years before. Before starting that 'big' trip, i used it 2 times abroad : in the Balkans and in Morocco, each of these trips helping me to improve the equipment.
A bit more on the technical aspect, here.
I planned this trip to last approximatey one year, from Septembre 2011 to august 2012.
You can now read about the complete journey in the section : Photo tale
