Africa Overland: Cairo To Cape Town Travel Atlas

Beskrivelse

Discover the adventure of crossing Africa from Cairo to Cape Town with a detailed travel atlas. This guide maps out the eastern route, covering 14 countries and offering valuable insights for travelers.

A comprehensive atlas charting the eastern overland journey through Africa’s diverse landscapes and countries.

There are three main routes to travel across Africa from top to bottom. The eastern path runs through Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and East Africa. Another route, known as the Hoggar or Haager route, passes through Algeria, while a third heads from Morocco into West Africa.

Traveling across Africa remains one of the world’s ultimate adventure experiences. The author’s own journey in 1969/70 took a full year and was a life-changing expedition. While none of these routes are completely risk-free-then or now-travel involves weighing those risks and staying alert, much like crossing a busy London street.

This atlas focuses on the eastern route from Cairo to Cape Town, presenting over a hundred pages of detailed maps. It covers 14 countries and provides advice on sensitive travel zones, such as the border area between Egypt and Sudan. Instead of a single recommended path, the atlas shows multiple options, especially after reaching Kenya, allowing travelers to choose their preferred way forward.

Compact and easy to carry, this atlas aims to be as accurate and practical as possible for those ready to embark on this epic journey.
