Welcome to surfingafrica.net. This site will document and describe, and act as a blog for, a trip involving 2 vehicles, 19 people, 6 months and 24 countries on 2 continents.

One of these vehicles, already bought and part-prepared, will be driven by ourselves. The other, currently being sought, will be driven by a rotating group of somewhere around 17 friends and family members.

So without further ado, the truck, just bought in Poole, in January last year:
