How long does it minimal take to travel from South Africa (say Jurg) to Nairobi and by which route?
You can travel from Jburg to Nairobi in approx 8 days (one driver doing approx. 700km per day and then staying in decent accom at night) however I do not recomend this for a novice “African” driver. We recently completed this route: Nrb>Arusha (Ngorongoro)>Bagamoyo>Dar>Zanzibar>Dar>Morogoro>Mbeya>Shiwa Ndangu (Mpika area)>Lusaka>Livingstone/Vic Falls>Bulawayo>Jhb>Durban and we did it in 21 days. The majority of this is on good tar roads which make for easy driving at 80/100km/h. This route followed the great north road out of Lusaka but you can also take the great east road which will take you by Luwanga Nat parks (Jungle Junction etc) and into Malawi via Chipata.
