Don't even think about it. As someone with far too much experience on African airlines (e.g. Air Mauritania, Toumai Air Chad, Air Zimbabwe, & a host of Sudanese 'airlines' to Darfur, known collectively as Inch'Allah Airways), the concept of trying to make my way from North Africa to the Cape fills me with considerable dread. Purchasing a pogo stick & bouncing my way would be less painful.
