DRC Congo you'll need to use train - DRC is so huge - and forest so big - it cheaper if you drive all the way to Kenya to Ethiopia to Sudan(Khartoum) - go to Chad - and then drive to west-africa

It cheaper to take sea route.. anyway I thought the Ogas got free rescue flight. SA has really lost the plot. But the economy will survive because unlike Zim mzungu investment largely remain safe.

Seems like Pundit can't miss a change to sell "kenya"   :) You can drive 100 hrs on West Coast line though Angola, DRC, Congo, Gabon and Cameroon for 7000 km. Friends from Boston have done the route on Bikes from JoBurg to Lagos.
