Africa Overland Atlas ITMB

There are three possible routes to traverse Africa top to bottom. From the east, the only route is via Egypt and Sudan to Ethiopia and East Africa. The route through Algeria, known as the Hoggar (or Haager) route is next, with the route through Morocco to West Africa third. Traversing Africa is one of the great adventure trips in the world.

This atlas portrays the eastern route from Cairo to Cape Town over a hundred pages of maps. It covers 14 countries and gives advice on particularly sensitive travel areas, such as between Egypt and Sudan. We do not shown only one recommended route, as there are alternatives once one reaches Kenya, but all are shown. The great advantage of this book is that it is compact and easy to carry, as well as being as accurate as we could make it.
