Willie, Are you looking for drivers or mechanics or just passengers? I would love to go, but need more details. I was in the Peace Corps and would love to get back to S.Africa.

Patrick,
We are looking for participants, people with own vehicles to join in. This is a not for profit expedition. You are likely looking at anything from US$15000 per couple for their vehicle and themselves. If you are interested we are putting a list together and will be doing a presentation next year. Maybe you can find some one travelling alone looking for a partner to travel with.

The list is for serious enquiries only.

A true trip of a lifetime....

Cheers
Willie

So your saying this expedition costs around $15K per couple? Who pays for it?

Kristopher,
If you can drum up some sponsors, great. Otherwise you should start saving, you have less than 4 years to go !
We are approaching sponsors and we should have good success, this will help. Although it will mainly be sponsored equipment. We have a good chance of a tire sponsor....
