The preparations for this trip are quite extensive. It is the first time we are riding in the African continent. Also it will be the so far the longest trip by motorcycle for me.

Planning the journey with separate arrival and departure was quite difficult. You have to match itinerary with available flights and vacation times. That costs a lot of time.

The bike also had to be prepared a bit.

And for the rider and the pillion there were a few courses as preparation.
